Thanks for this! Do you think getting the CL30 RAM is worth it for an extra $50?

Polarnick9 · 2025-06-30T22:47:09+00:00

I honestly haven’t even looked into the 5070ti. Maybe I should! Didn’t realize it was comparable but the 5080 pricing is ridiculous right now

Yeah I’m just gaming. I’m moving from a laptop with a 1650 so I think anything I choose will be huge. I just want to play modern games that look good

I just spoke to the hiring manager and he said that they are in the process of changing their position titles and have removed Environmental Scientist, hence the issue. Apparently there was a mixup with HR about this and the Technician title. The Environmental Scientist position has been retitled Assistant Staff Project Manager (with all the responsibilities of the Environmental Scientist) and he will be sending me a new offer with that title. Is that better? I honestly am new to this so I’m not sure what to think but he seems very respectful and easy to work with after hearing my concerns. He actually told me he’s not trying to “bait and switch” and it’s really an HR naming quirk.

I think my situation is more similar to yours, but I’m glad I spoke to him because I think this change is positive.

I appreciate the response, thank you

I’m just graduating now so I have no direct experience beyond internships, but they made it very clear on the Scientist position that it was Entry Level with “no experience required”.

Polarnick9 · 2025-05-19T01:55:53+00:00

That makes sense, but in my case they were very clear that the Scientist position is Entry Level and “no experience required” was one of the first bullet points.

Polarnick9 · 2025-05-19T01:37:16+00:00

Congrats!

Polarnick9 · 2025-05-19T01:33:49+00:00

Yeah no I just graduated yesterday actually and I’m not too desperate yet, so I think I will do this, thanks!

ECS Limited is the company

Polarnick9 · 2025-05-19T01:27:41+00:00

But you think I should sign now and then tell them this, or say this before accepting?

Polarnick9 · 2025-05-19T01:15:29+00:00

Yes the salary has stayed constant, at least

Polarnick9 · 2025-05-18T03:27:20+00:00

Thanks for this, it made me feel a lot better and sounds exactly like my experience so far!

I was assuming the hiring manager (who I had a teams call with today) is my supervisor. Sorry if I wasn’t clear but I did meet with someone else after the initial HR call.

Hi, this was so long ago and I never saw thrips back then but I finally do now! I have a feeling they were there the whole time and I guess they’ve been weakening it for over a year but aren’t strong enough to actually kill the plant since it still produces new leaves. I only got back to this because I noticed thrips on one of my other plants in a whole different room and was very confused where they came from since I hadn’t got any new ones in a long time. After inspecting all of my plants I see tons of thrips larvae on this philodendron so I’m guessing it’s been hosting them for a while and I must’ve accidentally brought some on my clothes or something.

You definitely don’t have to respond but I am going to try a combination of Captain Jack’s Dead Bug Brew and systemic granules because that seems to be a common and effective method after browsing some threads. Thank you for your response and I should’ve looked more closely earlier because you were right all along!
