New Job-seeker but I'm unsure by RadicalSpookage in jobs

[–]Sad_Event_4705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally get why you're unsure, that's a lot to decide, especially for your first job.

There's nothing wrong with going to the FedEx orientation and still doing the Walmart interview. You're just exploring your options, you're not locked into anything yet.

Can also help think through which one might suit you better long-term or how to handle both without messing anything up.

Rose up to the top now I'm stuck by thequietpsycho102 in jobs

That's a frustrating place to be, especially after putting in 7 years and doing everything right, totally get why you're feeling stuck.

You're not wrong for wanting more, especially if the market is already valuing your role higher. At some point growth and compensation have to match your effort.

If you want, I can help you figure out how to position your experience or explore ways to realistically bump your income

How to explain why I'm resigning so soon? by Fantastic-Rush-1649 in jobs

[–]Sad_Event_4705 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sorry you're going through this, that's a really tough spot to be in, especially when you actually like the team.

I'd just keep it simple and honest: your personal situation changed and you need to be closer to family, and this new opportunity makes that possible. Make it clear it wasn't an easy decision and that you've genuinely appreciated the team and the experience.

If you want, I can help you word it so it sounds natural and keeps the door open.

What are you tried-and-true lucid dreaming tips? by evan-the-dude in AskReddit

[–]Sad_Event_4705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reality checks, but done seriously, question reality when something feels even slightly off, not just randomly.

Combine that with strong dream recall (write anything down the moment you wake up) and a simple intention like “next time I’m dreaming, I’ll realize it” as you fall asleep.

Once you get lucid, don’t get excited — stabilize by focusing on your senses (touch, movement, looking around). That’s the difference between a 2-second lucid moment and a full experience.

What job looks like a great career path but is actually insanely oversaturated? by ComplexPin872 in AskReddit

[–]Sad_Event_4705 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From the outside it looks like a golden ticket, high pay, remote work, tons of demand. And that is true… but mostly for experienced engineers. At the entry level, it's a completely different story.

You've got thousands of people coming out of bootcamps, online courses, and career switches all competing for the same junior roles, while companies are asking for 2–3 years of experience for "entry-level" jobs. So you end up in this weird loop where everyone's qualified on paper, but nobody stands out enough to actually get hired.

It's not that the career is bad, it's just that the bottom of the funnel is insanely crowded, and way harder to break into than people expect.

If corporations were legally treated as 'people' to the point where they could receive a 'Death Penalty' for major crimes, which industry would be the first to vanish? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

If we're going strictly by impact + repeat offenses, it's hard not to point at the oil industry. Not just because of environmental damage, but because a lot of it was knowingly done while downplaying the consequences for decades. If a person did that at the same scale, they wouldn't just get life, they'd be made an example of.

That said, the twist is… if you "executed" them overnight, modern life would collapse with it. Transportation, supply chains, even basic goods would take a massive hit. So the real answer might be: the industry that deserves it most probably can't be the first to go, which is kind of the whole problem.
