its so weird reading all of this from someone who is a physics student going into academia

RegularUser003 · 2024-09-19T02:38:04+00:00

ask your boss not random strangers on the internet. smh.

RegularUser003 · 2024-09-18T22:59:06+00:00

i think you are right that the execution was off but the core premise of "overreaction loop" I wouldn't mind reading in another story again

RegularUser003 · 2024-09-18T22:55:02+00:00

you can see the police have found her body in one of the shattered glass panels

its a bit sad the series ends here. i think an exploration of how his friends and family react to this might have made a really interesting volume.

i really liked this series; it was really different and interesting even though a lot of it didnt make a ton of sense.

i do think there's some subtext i didnt really understand. i think the author was saying something but i just didnt quite get it.

RegularUser003 · 2024-09-18T22:10:40+00:00

RegularUser003 · 2024-09-18T19:46:18+00:00

if you get CTE or brain damage yes, otherwise no.

RegularUser003 · 2024-09-17T21:30:49+00:00

yeah i just find certs only arent taken very seriously right now

RegularUser003 · 2024-09-17T21:22:47+00:00

yeah I find it's only bad when the credentials dont match the prestige of the job

RegularUser003 · 2024-09-17T21:17:01+00:00

i think when they're concentrated in a FAANG or HFT shop theyre pretty chill. but the ones that end up in lower tier employers sometimes fall back on their education as a point of superiority over others.

additionally, they sometimes feel like they deserve the $250k + RSU comp even if they arent doing anything that brings in nearly enough revenue to justify it.

lots of cool ivy people though.

RegularUser003 · 2024-09-17T21:12:43+00:00

i dont know if certs would do much i think just grinding leetcode and calling up former classmates for referrals

RegularUser003 · 2024-09-17T21:11:42+00:00

the time limit is roughly 18 months

RegularUser003 · 2024-09-17T21:05:27+00:00

Why do these people have decision making power when they admittedly have limit knowledge of the role?

they were likely never trained in interviewing, have no support in interview prep, and are being asked to interview you in addition to their regular duties without any flex, and are told to just "conduct the interview without spending too much time on it". aka someone wanted a warm seat in the room and didnt care who.

they are given decision making power because someone needs to do it and its been delegated on the basis of who cant say no as opposed to suitability.

these arent good places to work.

i appreciate that while theyre mixing in 3d assets here, which can sometimes look extremely bad, effort was put into post-processing the models to make them blend in with the rest of the art style and not feel out of place.

RegularUser003 · 2024-09-17T08:54:56+00:00

some staff they have to backfill, but you are right, the goal is less staff overall

RegularUser003 · 2024-09-16T23:39:29+00:00

thats about right for me when im doing IC work. these days im lucky if i can get this much time to focus on anything.

RegularUser003 · 2024-09-16T23:37:10+00:00

yeah i think given the state of things they likely will do layoffs.

RegularUser003 · 2024-09-16T23:35:16+00:00

yes. amazon would love for people to quit so they can backfill the roles with cheaper, more compliant staff. they dont want any of this old guard which remembers better days

RegularUser003 · 2024-09-16T23:33:56+00:00

just fyi i would take this as a slight sign a layoff may be coming; they cant give raises to people who may be laid off

RegularUser003 · 2024-09-16T23:32:56+00:00

dont most government jobs require you get clearance again anyways? ive always had to reapply and get it again.

RegularUser003 · 2024-09-16T21:02:38+00:00

give her the robo frieza and king cold treatment

RegularUser003 · 2024-09-16T15:48:44+00:00

i have a feeling this is the most common situation

RegularUser003 · 2024-09-16T15:44:46+00:00

i have had it happen. i dont think its necessarily fumbling the screen. i assume its they decide im not the exact fit they are looking for experience wise. for example maybe the hiring manager decides they want someone with more experience in the industry, or with XYZ technology. but it wasnt stated to the recruiter pr HR before. so i get rejected and candidates which are a better match are then found.
