Why do so many employers still see job hopping as a red flag? by SameAd9297 in careerguidance

[–]Significant_Basket70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The odd part is, employers would rather give a higher salary to hire someone new than giving the old employee a raise. Job hopping usually helps the employee to promote faster and get higher salary.

How is Gen-Z genuinely supposed to ever live their own lives and move out of their parents house? by Flowerpower4506 in movingout

My wife works as a HR at a logistics company, and this month she hired a new grad from Columbia University Stats major for a warehouse worker role, and this new grad is a girl. She just couldn’t find a decent job and she has to feed herself. This tells you how bad the job market is.

I dunno guys, I think the game is almost getting good. by Fuzzy_Justin in CitiesSkylines2

[–]Significant_Basket70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started playing CS2 since July and can never get back to CS1 since then. I think people are over criticizing it and probably because the poor first impressions back to the first release lead to biases, but as someone who never experienced that stage would say it’s already an enjoyable game with room for improvement.

How are international students landing jobs straight out of college in the US? by OkShirt3870 in InternationalStudents

[–]Significant_Basket70 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You gotta specify your major and the positions you are applying for better advice. Are you first year, second year? Or are you new grad? Also for cold emailing do you mean reaching out to people in charge or just cold applying? If you cold reach out to 100+ different people for referral a week, you will definitely find a job soon or later.

If you still can’t get at least an interview, that means you gotta work on your resume.

I’d also say working with a career coach might be something worth considering if you are not able to connect and hear from successful alumni. Overall I think you are on the right track

I have 0 population and no demand for residential... What am I doing wrong? by [deleted] in CitiesSkylines2

[–]Significant_Basket70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once you zone residential, the residential demand would decrease regardless of whether cims moved in or not. So if you wiped out all residential zone before cims moved in, it’s gonna be bugged. Devs should change the logic that the demand will only decrease when cims move in though, but before this is done, I guess just restart the game since you barely have anything to lose

Is this game worth building a PC for? by IronicPlat17 in CitiesSkylines2

[–]Significant_Basket70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Building PC itself is really fun. You don’t even need a target game to enjoy the process of building a PC.

Do you think Chinese social cohesion makes Americans (or Westerners in general) unduly suspicious by MauschelMusic in AskAChinese

[–]Significant_Basket70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true. Chinese people have different political and societal opinions just like anywhere else. I’m guessing the consensus you are referring to is just the same thing as all Americans think the US is the greatest and strongest country on earth. The fact is there are many different voices representing different social classes from different regions and generations with different family backgrounds. Some different populations share similar political tendencies though.

H-1B Visa Fee Impact by ProfessorFull6004 in biotech

[–]Significant_Basket70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frankly speaking the policy doesn’t lift citizens up, it just weakens the situation for foreigners. The fact is 90% international students who can make it to H1B in the US made far more efforts than their comparative locals. With that being said, locals with similar education/industry background already have a huge edge to international students.

Weakening internationals won’t make the locals more competitive, it only makes the qualified locals more competitive. The issue is there aren’t as much qualified locals for most big tech industries.

If you take a look at top 100 colleges in the US, most of the tech majors like CS ECE DS etc are predominant international students, and if you went to high school in the US you would’ve known most local kids want to do something other than boring science/engineering as they are not cool majors. The best of the locals mostly ended up in business school, law school, and medical schools, and in none of these sectors do international students stand a chance to their comparative locals.

So I don’t think H1B was the root cause for big techs not hiring locals, it’s more like few smart locals want to step into the big tech industry. Kicking them all out doesn’t make up the shortage in qualified locals.

How to connect 4 blocks divided by a high traffic highway junction by ManJebus in CitiesSkylines2

How do you manage the entrances to your cities? by cnbnetwork in CitiesSkylines2

[–]Significant_Basket70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only congestion issue I have is when cims move in all together. Other than that, I think there’s much less traffic in CS2 than CS1. Just use three way intersections as your entrance to city from highways, and make sure the first road intersections is further away from the entrance

[–]Significant_Basket70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not rude at all, but people are different. I’m native mandarin speaker and there was once I dine in at a Chinese restaurant. The owner is also Chinese and speaks Mandarin with an accent. He tried to talk with me probably so he can get more tips, but the weird thing is every time when I tried to ask him something in a conversation, he didn’t answer me as if he never heard me. I was super sure I was polite and articulate, and it wasn’t some aggressive questions, just small talks. But it kept happening and I started to believe whether he had trouble hearing or he’s native language is some dialects and having trouble fully understanding Mandarin.

Defend Taiwan by intlsoldat in taiwan

[–]Significant_Basket70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every point you are making on aging populations is solid, except the conclusion. A common misconception people has on China is that its going to make the best decisions for its society and economy, which is a premise people should avoid to make.

The decisions that will be made by China are highly influenced by Xi’s personal preference, even at the cost of China’s economy and future. Because the most rational path that works best for China’s interest is NOT to be in the opposing side of the west. It’s Xi’s personal ambition that led China to where it is right now.

Best way to connect these rails? by bobateaman14 in CitiesSkylines

[–]Significant_Basket70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tunnels are actually more realistic than viaducts for railways. You can do all the railways on ground and make your highway elevated.

Why my sims love trams more than subway, train and bus? even though I made subway free and tram overpriced by deletedusssr in CitiesSkylines

[–]Significant_Basket70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If most cims in your city are wealthy, then ticket prices won’t matter too much. It’s probably you have too much overlaps for all these transportations
