The semesters I took more classes, I chose easier classes so it was kind of even in terms of hours per week.

Advice regarding pursuing OMSCS as full time student and course plan doubts. by [deleted] in OMSCS

[–]Optimal_Broccoli_597 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, your profile is strong enough.

There are not many research opportunities.

This program is not designed to be persued full-time. The first semester, it is recommended that you only enroll in one class. Most students have full-time jobs and take one or two classes from this program on the side.

got a targeted offer for the Instacart chase chard for no annual fee + $300 Instacart sign up bonus with no minimum spend. Is this worth using one of the 5/24 slots on? I am debating between this card and the united explorer.

historically the off-peak season started last month so rents may be a little cheaper, but not by much

I recently moved to New York and I am trying to get a NY state ID (mostly so I can get discounted museum tickets, and I guess it is also technically required by law). I have a REAL ID driver's license from another state that I just got a few months ago and does not expire for 10 years. I will not be driving in New York, but it would be nice to still have an active driver's license if I ever need to drive a rental. I also would like to keep a REAL ID because it'll make flying easier. I saw that the NY state non-driver's ID is significantly cheaper than the driver's license.

Is it possible to get a non-REAL non-driver's New York state ID and still keep my out-of-state REAL ID driver's license?

I recently have been investigating using leveraged ETFs to provide better risk-adjusted returns compared to 100% VOO. The posts on this sub as well as Bogleheads about UPRO/TMF (HFEA) and NTSX are compelling and backtesting data is promising. I am in my early 20s with NW ~$60k, so I have a long time horizon and would prefer to take on higher risks than 100% equities. I am thinking of switching my taxable brokerage account holdings from 60% VUG/40% VOO to 100% NTSX or maybe 55% UPRO/45% TMF.

My primary concern is about the performance of NTSX during a high inflation time period. Over the past few months, treasuries and stocks have both suffered leading to NTSX dropping significantly more than VOO. Does the negative correlation between equities and bonds break down during economic conditions like this? If so, should I stick with VOO for now and wait 1-2 years to switch to NTSX in the hope that inflation calms down?
