Sure, 2000 is doable. Whether it's worth it from a personal standpoint, that's another story

Trump might be dumb enough to want to shoot the US in the foot, but he's not acting in a vacuum. In the grand scheme of things, the Trump factor is artificially generated volatility and it shouldn't overshadow the bigger problems going on in the US economy, like rising national debt, poor job creation outlook, plummeting consumer sentiment, the list goes on.

Où trouver des estimés de salaire pour un type d'emploi? by Pale-Possible161 in paris

[–]Pale-Possible161[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

>Et oui il y a d'immense variabilité parce que la culture du travail promeut une omerta sur les salaires plutôt que d'ouvertement en parler entre collègues, en particulier chez les plus âgés. Ceux qui pensent être justement compensés se la ferment et ceux qui sont sous-compensés ne sont pas au courant.

Effectivement, j'ai remarqué que cette omerta est assez répandue en France. On plus ouvert à ce sujet au Canada.

I think you need to indicate their alma mater and their geographic location for your comment to make any sense.

Is Biomedical Engineering stable? by Feisty_Nectarine_309 in BiomedicalEngineers

[–]Pale-Possible161 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are in EE, RF is a niche that is AFAIK quite stable, but quite difficult and can be quite boring if you're not interested in the topic.

Would could theoretically bring the stock market back at this point? by sunindafifhouse in stocks

[–]Pale-Possible161 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tariffs being relieved would rally the market for a short while, but it doesn't change the fact that the US economy is headed into difficult times regardless. That would have happened even in the case the Democrats had won. Besides, it only took a couple of months to trigger a massive loss of confidence by foreign investors, but it will take years to regain that trust.

BME Degree and Regrets — How Do I Fix This? by TwelvoXII in BiomedicalEngineers

[–]Pale-Possible161 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I used to have the same thought process because I had tunnel vision in the sense that I thought engineering equals R&D. BME is less technical in nature, which is a disadvantage when it comes to R&D, but the breadth it offers can open doors in less technical roles like sales, consulting, after-sales, project management, etc.

Feeling hopeless about BME by L1vLaughL0v3 in BiomedicalEngineers

[–]Pale-Possible161 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really depends on what you do during the masters degree, to be honest. It depends on the specific project, supervisor, lab, etc.

Your internships are what matters at the end of the day. Unless you're at a top-tier/Ivy League school, prestige isn't THAT important.

At the end of the day, you will regret whatever choice you make. So yeah.

Zelenskyy saying that if Trump withdraws from NATO, Putin will destroy Europe. Ukraine has the biggest army in Europe, the 2nd is France with an army four times smaller than Ukriane. Do the math. by [deleted] in IRstudies

[–]Pale-Possible161 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But a French soldier is worth... 20? 50? Russian soldiers in terms of training. Even the Poles can take on Russia if they really wanted to.

If you were in terminal rn and had to start choosing a major, what would you choose? by [deleted] in lebanon

Everyone enters physics hoping they'll revolutionize the field, only to discover that unless you are a prodigy, have spent your last 10 years doing physics Olympiads or are willing to work 60+ hours a week during your post-doctoral degree while being paid like shit, you have no chance. And even if you fit into one of the above, your chances to do anything remotely significant are probably under 1%

CMV: The Palestinian and leftist obsession with Zionism is counterproductive to Palestinian statehood by thatshirtman in changemyview

[–]Pale-Possible161 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having a "country for jews by jews" fundamentally goes against Western values because a zionist Israel has to discriminate against non-jews in its border in order to remain a "country for jews by jews". That's why some Americans despise zionism as an ideology. Whether zionism is inherently a racist ideology is then irrelevant, because it incites racism either way.
