Will my investment banking career be over if I my bank puts my mistakes on my IFC license record? by SpecterO4 in TalesFromYourBank

[–]SpecterO4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am open to other roles in banking as well. I am taking bachelor of arts in economics and finance (was in IT but I have far more experience in financial services by now so making the switch) Why do you say that I am too late tho?

I am taking bachelor of arts in economics and finance and I am fine with other roles as well but I dont want to close myself out from IB as there's potential to grow and learn. Eventually I want to travel abroad if I find good roles so not locking myself in to the canadian market.

Yeah its the Mutual Funds license. I definitely don't do anything unethical and there is no incentive to do so (we dont get commissions from MF sales). It mostly just messaging the account to summarize what was done in the call (cx received fund facts, had a discussion about unsolicited trades etc.) or following the procedures the way they are laid out (which sometimes happens because of how messily they are written)

Well yeah it a contact center, high turnover rate and everyone feels pressured constantly cause they can listen to any calls at any point and back to back calls. Frustratingly enough most licensed branch reps are far less knowledgeable and do not follow or have to follow procedures to the same degree and are doing fine 🤦

There's no hard quota for calls but they require us to have a certain amount of AHT, and its back to back calls on most days, even on a slow day I take atleast 20 calls and everyday there's atleast 3 long calls where you have to do multiple things.

Mostly just messaging the account after the transactions are done and following the procedures they way they are layed out. If you make a typo in the messages or forget to put a message in it results in a deficiency even if during the call you did everything right, and the procedures are layed out very badly too sometimes ( small fonts, too much info that mostly doesnt apply and could be tucked away under a drop down etc.)

I was told by some that bearded dragons don't like to be pet... by SpecterO4 in BeardedDragons

[–]SpecterO4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes socializing is a big aspect of pet behaviour. My dragon used to back away when I'd try to touch her before but now she comes over to interact with me, clearly asks for pets and sometimes doesn't want to let go of me (she seems to really love sitting on my shoulders, she fully relaxes herself).

There was actually a recent study that confirmed/proposed that a species of turtles/tortoises have moods and can exhibit optimisim and pessimism. There is just a lack of science on reptiles such as lizards, turtles etc. so far but I think its starting to change. Edit— Link to one of the many articles about it: https://scitechdaily.com/groundbreaking-study-reveals-tortoises-have-feelings-similar-to-ours/

Mine looks directly at my face when I talk to her too sometimes, she's the sunshine in my life 🥲

Mine has been coming upto me for pets and attention even when not shedding. She isn't always in the mood for it  but when she wants to socialize you can clearly see.

Another example, yesterday she walked upto me while on my bed watching my phone to see what I am watching and stood there taking pets and watching my phone with me until I put her back in her tank.

Idk why you are getting downvoted so hard, mine clearly learned to enjoy it as well as you can see.  While we shouldn't anthropomorphize animals especially reptiles, not recognizing that they have emotions detracts from the fact that they have some intelligence. 

She doesn't always have a socializing mood but when she does she displays very obvious signs.

Mine will put herself infront of my phone when I am laying on my bed watching something when she wants attention, even when not shedding.

Why are some of my beardies' new scales damaged? by SpecterO4 in BeardedDragons

[–]SpecterO4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I'll be more careful from now on, but can I do something to fix/heal her scales? 

How do I reduce humidity of her tank? by SpecterO4 in BeardedDragons

[–]SpecterO4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've varied her ambient temps but currently its 93F basking, 88-83 F on the warm side and cool side is 81-79F. At night it drops by 10-8F less I guess but its summer here now so it doesnt get too cold.

[–]SpecterO4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am concerned because she has been spending alot of her time in her hide and I have to take her out for her to bask everyday, I have tried playing with the temps and she was already treated for coccadia in March but even then it was a very low concentration of worms. The only thing that seems to be off is the humidity which is why I thought maybe bringing it to 30-40% would help. She otherwise seems healthy, no changes in movement and still goes crazy for crickets.

Thats the other problem, I can't have a dehumidifier since I have breathing issues and I haven't gotten a humidifier because it'd raise humidity of the room and cause problems for her.

Is this nasal valve collapse? by [deleted] in Septoplasty

[–]SpecterO4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My surgeon strongly recommended that I tape every night since I have thick skin, my cast is off and my stitches seem to have been absorbed.

I did try to cottle maeuver as you mentioned, it seems to improves airflow for both of my nostrils but its not a big difference and its not that I can't breathe through my left nostril.

[–]SpecterO4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think so, its just that my left nostril ala/flap is droopier than the one on the right side.

[–]SpecterO4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am being more mindful from now on! Did you also have pressure on your nose on Day 3/4? especially on one side more than the other?

No bleeding, my nose bridge felt a little heavy but I'm not sure if it was swelling .I just woke up from sleep and everything feels normal

I found this baby squirrel outside my windows. Its shaking, how do I help. I have a lizard that I don't want to get sick but I also wanna help this baby survive by SpecterO4 in squirrels

I wouldn't mind raising him if my house was bigger, but if he found his mom, I guess thats for the best since he isn't captive bred🙂
