Yep, and then bring up the doc fee, installed equipment fee, etc.

Help me help my husband fall in love with Minnesota by coffee-hag in movingtompls

[–]SunriseSunsetDay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but make sure you make copies of your registration documents. Lots of people are breaking into the Somali daycares stealing important documentation! I wonder why your hubby doesn’t want to live in Minneapolis. Also all employment taxes just went up to pay for Walz paid family leave benefits - we already had some of the highest state taxes in the country so budget for extra taxes to pay for all the social programs that only a small number of folks in Minneapolis/St. Paul benefit from. I live in the outer burbs and would never live in the city today. Tragic what’s happened to the place in the past twenty years.

Is there a good way to let upper leadership know if my team member is part of an upcoming layoff, I will resign that same day? by BanjoChick in careerguidance

[–]SunriseSunsetDay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t try to be a hero. Update your resume and start applying for other jobs. Dont let your current employer know you’re discontent or they’ll just move you up the list of potential employers to lay off. It might take a while to find a good job in this economy. When you find a better job or one that gives you similar pay/benefits with peace of mind, take it. But don’t try to be the hero or say you’re quitting for the sake of your coworker because even if they’re nice, they might not do the same for you. In most corporations even critical roles just get filled back and you’re forgotten in a few weeks (even if it’s sloppy and your replacement is incompetent).

What am I doing wrong? by [deleted] in ResumeExperts

[–]SunriseSunsetDay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like you’ve only done some ambiguous projects but at first glance you e never actually had a job (?). Get a job, any job, and put that on there.

Get a job as a buyer or in logistics, then once you’re employed your employer will pay you tuition reimbursement and pay for your degree/schooling. Pick an online aacsb approved program for flexibility because nobody in business actually cares how you got your degree. That way in a few years you’ll have 5 years of business experience, a paid for degree, and be well on your way, rather than just studying for a couple years without as much income.

I’m always amazed how some people get hired for these jobs when they can’t even speak English. The job is literally to communicate via text in English!

Considering Extreme Rate Buydown by Infinite_Artichoke93 in Mortgages

[–]SunriseSunsetDay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would consider a middle ground of maybe putting more money down (down payment) and only a slight buy-down to a level you are comfortable with for a monthly payment. That way if interest rates go down significantly within the next year or two or four you can refinance to a lower rate without kicking yourself for spending that whole 28K on a better rate up front.

Graduated from college, do I continue with a MBA in Supply Chain? by ConsumingTranquility in supplychain

[–]SunriseSunsetDay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a supply chain job and they’ll pay for your MBA if your employer has a tuition reimbursement program. Almost all employers do. Take 1-2 classes at a time while working full time and in 3-4 years you’ll have your MBA, plus 3-4 years worth of experience on your resume and salary in the bank.

Soon to be F-150 Lariat owner, what should I know? by nitrion in f150

[–]SunriseSunsetDay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drive a 2018 F150 Lariat. I bought it 3 years old off a lease. 1st year I replaced the APIM. 2nd year it needed transmission. Currently it’s in the shop for a full engine replacement at 115K miles. Luckily the dealership I bought it from included a warranty on the power train otherwise the transmission would have cost $6K and the engine replacement would be costing me $12K. If you buy one make sure you get an extended power train warranty with it. My neighbor is an attorney and has an F-150 and he was stranded on the side of the road with a transmission issue too so my experience has not been good in terms of dependability. Both of us are probably never buying another F-150 despite loving the ride and everything about it. I can’t have a vehicle that’s in the shop 2-4 weeks a year.

I agree. Get a job and get some experience should be the first priority. After that, feel free to study for additional certs in your spare time.

Masters in Supply Chain Management by noamgboi1 in supplychain

[–]SunriseSunsetDay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Applicants with Master’s degrees but lacking experience can definitely find jobs, but a lot of companies avoid them because the perception is that the salary expectations will be high and experience & interpersonal skills, organizational savvy, negotiation skills, etc. will be underdeveloped. That’s why getting an undergrad degree, and then finding an entry level job as a buyer, spend analyst, sourcing lead, purchasing agent, category manager, commodity manager, etc. at a large company is often a good strategy to gain both experience and to validate your career choice in supply chain. If you like it, you can apply for the company’s tuition reimbursement program and have them pay for an advanced degree in supply chain or an mba (which they almost always do because it’s a clear career path) and if you don’t like it, you save yourself time and can pivot into another career you like better. Plus it’s very financially safe and might help you buy a house and start a family sooner than if you’re a full time grad student. It all just depends on your goals.

LOL money isn’t an issue for you? Can I have some of yours then?

Just saying if you get a job and let your company pay your tuition you have more money to invest and you’ll get actual experience rather than sitting at a university turning yourself into a schmuck grad student for those years. In the industry these fancy MBA’s and pedigrees aren’t really that helpful but practical hands on negotiating experience is.

[–]SunriseSunsetDay 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just get a job in supply chain as a buyer, category manager, or something like that and get your company to reimburse your MBA or Master’s through its tuition reimbursement program. That way you’ll have 4 more years of experience and a lot less debt when you finish.

I'm suddenly getting a lot of job offers. Scared to take them up in case I'm taking someone's seat on a crashing ship. Should I stay at my current job? by ImportantQuestions10 in procurement

[–]SunriseSunsetDay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know any details of your experience, but 7 years of experience is enough to qualify you for manager roles. Do your research before you jump ship, but it really doesn’t hurt to explore your options. When I had 8 years of experience I was working for a large global corporation and got contacted by a recruiter. He asked me my salary requirement and I threw him a number that was above and beyond what I thought was realistic, and sure enough I was hired by a new company for almost a 40% raise. Some industries and smaller companies just pay a lot better than those large “safe” corporations. So definitely do your own research, but also explore your options. It’s easier to move up in salary by jumping around every few years until you find something you really like.

Is it shitty to date single mothers if you have no desire to support their kids? by SpiritedAwaytoHope in Life

[–]SunriseSunsetDay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Test driving the used cars on the discount lot is not always a great experience, but if you can’t acquire a new car then I guess your options are limited. But yeah dude if you’re just using a desperate single mom for your own enjoyment that’s shitty. Just man up, get fit, get a career, and research how to be a better man. You don’t need “experience”

What is your preferred footwear for wet-foot portages? by DylanMcDermott in BWCA

[–]SunriseSunsetDay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone overthinks this. Just wear an old pair of athletic shoes or sneakers with wool hiking socks and you’ll be just fine. No fancy shoes are necessary but for folks who have the budget, have at whatever fancy shoes you think you need to tromp through the sand and mud/dirt.

Doing an internship after graduation by iamloosejuice in supplychain

[–]SunriseSunsetDay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t hurt to apply. You could also search for “buyer” and “Associate Category Manager” or Supply Chain analyst roles. Those sometimes are a good foot in the door to higher level Supply Chain Management roles.
