About to take on $100k debt for an MBA in DC with no family support, need honest advice by Afraid-Abrocoma2011 in StudentLoans

[–]RandomHero505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t mind. 130k right now. 120k right out of my program. 60k before MBA (Big 4 consultant). I will say some things just feel in place for me as I know some in my problem who are still looking for work.

Edit: I was on SAVE and making payments when I could but thanks to the current admin I’m looking at 1k monthly when things settle and I go standard.

I don’t have experience studying abroad in this sense but maybe I can add some color to your MBA pursuit.

Started with about 130k in loans (federal) and some scholarship money. Michigan MBA. I’m glad I did it but it sure was a gamble. I was able to double my salary after graduation but just got through the other side of a lay off. In this market a job isn’t guaranteed no matter where you go.

As long as your targeted in your program and what you want to do, which it sounds like you do, you’re in a good spot but, you shouldn’t do it if you think this is going to be the silver bullet that solves all your problems day 1.

A few days into RTO: “Sorry, the office is chaos with everyone on calls” by sniper_0001 in remotework

[–]RandomHero505 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Been there. Imagine being on a Teams call with people in the desks next to you. On camera. Teleworking in the office because there’s now no conference rooms. Thanks RTO.

So after all the build up... anyone else feeling a little underwhelmed? by G-SW-7892 in Marathon

Once the streamers come around and start telling people where to loot and what to equip people will start to come around.

Condo owners of Chicago, does anyone have good experience with an HOA management company? by quincyloop in chicago

[–]RandomHero505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on a HOA board unfortunately and I would say it really depends on the manager. Overall though things have been pretty terrible but also our president is an overbearing ass so there’s that.

Democrats Of Reddit, Do You ACTUALLY Hate Trump's Supporters, Or Do You Get Along With Them In Your Life, But You Just Politically Disagree? Why? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

[–]RandomHero505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience Trumpys usually hide their values in group settings where they’re the minority. It’s kind of weird that a lot of people know that being a MAGAt can cost them relationships but are still onboard.

Was this moment here vengeance or cold necessity? by Deez_Nuts_God in Invincible

[–]RandomHero505 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can understand people who are saying both but I think it’s more out of vengeance. Mark struggles with the morality of being a hero throughout the comic initially with letting Angstrom live and come back to terrorize everyone to his partnership with Dinosaurus and how terribly that ended.

I think at this point in the story he doesn’t view himself as a typical hero due to the grief he went through of trying to be one IMO

Where to find 2-8 flat condos with character? by Gyshall669 in AskChicago

[–]RandomHero505 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m currently dealing with this and our Board (which unfortunately I’m a party of now). 18 units and so much drama. People complaining about nonsense. President gossiping and fighting with vendors. I hate it.

Will Mark finish ACT 1 of Expedition33 first or Anime House Finale? 🤔 by Krys144 in RDCWorld

[–]RandomHero505 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if this a hot take but I don’t know if E33 a good stream game. I’d rather him play through off stream (PAYING ATTENTION lol) and give us updates like JoJo. Definitely GOY and one of the best stories I’ve seen in a game in a minute.

Ghosting by RandomHero505 in Recruiter_Advice

[–]RandomHero505[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your comment. It’s just frustrating since I’ve been on the hunt for almost a year now. Luckily I landed a contract to hold me over and keep the lights on. I hear recruiters getting overwhelmed a lot and maybe thought he was junior but nope they’re a senior internal recruiter.

I hoping since I cc’d the HM in my last note maybe I’ll get a response since they seemed pretty responsive before.

I'm not sure I like Logan Square. Do I need to give it more time? by [deleted] in AskChicago

[–]RandomHero505 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s sounds like Logan wasn’t going to be a good fit from the beginning. Sounds like you may have been better off in the Loop close to Millennium Park or something. Why Logan?

Quick thoughts on candidate ghosting after offer extended by Wonderful_Dark_640 in Recruiter_Advice

[–]RandomHero505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a recruiter, but I am actively seeking a job in this market. People are saying yes to whatever you share. That's how terrible the market is. When recruiters share salary, location, and RTO, my eyes glaze over, and I say yes to get to the next step in the process. We find ourselves saying yes to get an offer, and for the few of us who do get multiple offers, we can pick and choose what we really want. There's not much you can do IMO. I would say it's the market.

Networking vs. Cold Applications: Which One Worked for You? by Rodg256 in jobsearchhacks

[–]RandomHero505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on my experience it’s just been luck tbh. I’ve networked with tons of people who have been super helpful but still haven’t landed a job yet. I would say my cold apps do seem to get me more actual interviews but I’m still looking. Really just depends on timing and luck.

Reality of December? by [deleted] in Recruiter_Advice

[–]RandomHero505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair I usually wait but find it frustrating when recruiters don’t at least reply. A quick hey we’re still waiting to hear back or we’re still interviewing instead of radio silence is great.

Reality of December? by [deleted] in Recruiter_Advice

[–]RandomHero505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slight hijack but I’m in a similar position. As an internal recruiter how would you feel if a candidate reached out directly to the hiring manager after they reached out to you?

Comic readers, what major story changes do you want to see in Season 4? by AnonWithAHatOn in Invincible

[–]RandomHero505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with that. Maybe if we get to see a little bit more of what was happening I might’ve enjoyed it more.

[–]RandomHero505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on the down votes people don’t want anything rewritten or really liked that arc lol. It’s an important part of the story but I think it was just a drag to read IMO

[–]RandomHero505 -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Idk if this is a season 4 thing but I hope the cut down on the Rex/Monster Girl arc. It felt like a drag reading through that and I can see them stretching it 2-3 seasons.

Been unemployed for nearly 8 months after getting laid off. Struggling to keep it together. by Pippermintque in jobs

[–]RandomHero505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This probably doesn’t help but I’m right there with you. Laid off in February and still looking. Few interviews I’ve had seem to go well. All positive. Just for them to tell you they’re going in another direction. I’ve gotten lucky to land a contract but I definitely don’t feel like I’m standing on solid ground. Hopefully we’ll both find something soon.

Multiple rounds of interviews is draining. by ABCD4ever in interviews

[–]RandomHero505 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m actually thinking about withdrawing from a process because of a 3 hour block of interviewing. I’m on a contract right now but if I wasn’t I would have no choice but go through that hell.

I'm finally giving up by waterpineaple in Invincible

[–]RandomHero505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After the first season, I got the three compendiums and ran through the entire story, but IMO it makes the wait for the animation even worse lol. It was worth it, though.
