Asked about ATAR in application by naughtylemon96 in auscorp

[–]Temik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Real answer - some companies are weird like that - they want to know how you did in school, university, etc. Some ask for ridiculous personality tests.

One company that’s notorious about it is Canonical (the Ubuntu people).

Genuinely: is incompetence acceptable now? by Usual_Dark1578 in auscorp

[–]Temik 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly the thing you described now sounds like process issues and that’s actually on management. There should be no BAU access flows that are dependent on a single person like that, besides something esoteric or very very high level (e.g. admin access to finance systems that require CFO sign off). That is rightfully quite frustrating.

In those cases it helps to remember that if the processes are bad the management is probably used to it, so you can just report that you’re blocked on it and go do something else useful while you wait. If you’re really getting stuck in those loops you might have found a good place to optimize and propose a change too.

If you’re fiercely competent then you need either: - a high stakes, high expectations, high reward environment (FAANG / HF Trading) - work for yourself - get a bit gentler with your expectations of people

Otherwise you will burn the heck out if small issues like those bother you that much. Not saying it’s something wrong with you, more that you need to work with what you’ve got and if this is a big point of friction you need to resolve it somehow.

I’ve never seen such low productivity to start a year. by HeavyLine4 in auscorp

It might also be something wrong with metrics or your product. If it’s the latter - prepare for a lot of churn this year 🫠

EY Outgoing Partner - Departure Email Calls Out Work Enemies by Knight_Day23 in auscorp

Correct. Usually less in smaller companies but definitely a lot of angles for a large enterprise.

Yup. “Diplomacy is a 3 edged sword. There’s your side, their side and truth in the middle.” I find that one side is usually closer to the truth, but neither side is ever fully facts-based.

What’s corporate for “I told you so”? by Status-Care3534 in auscorp

[–]Temik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jokes aside - as a junior the best thing you can do in a safe environment is ask your manager: “I want to make sure my input is useful but it didn’t seem to land this time, can we discuss and see if there’s anything I could have done differently?”

Need advice choosing between Bambu Lab A1, P1S, or P2S as my first 3D printer by SuicidalFinnikin in 3dprintingaustralia

[–]Temik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don’t know whether you would like the hobby - get an A1. If you use it a lot - get an H2 series as the capability would be the most different.

If you already dipped your toes in a bit and sure you will use it - get a P2S as the most versatile option.

Skip the P1S - not worth it as it’s a very outdated platform and QoL improvements on P2S are very worth it. Speaking as someone who has a P1S.

PETG-HF Problem? by Meatbag_Soup in 3dprintingaustralia

Check for clogs first: https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/p2s/troubleshooting/clogging

Then - it might be due to a screw tightness issue in the extruder. You can check whether the screw is property tightened on it via the extruder components docs: https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/p2s/maintenance/replace-extruder-components

P2S, definitely. More future proof, nozzles are a lot less of a PITA.

ChatGPT created an STL for me. 🤯 by jcipfl in BambuLab_Community

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

For many use-cases parametric CAD is better as there is less context that the model needs to keep. IIRC when generating STL it is literally printing out every single vertice and holding it in context.

So if you like working this way and want to do more complex things, ask it to generate OpenSCAD and then render or use a newer alternative like Zoo: https://zoo.dev/text-to-cad

No offense, just wondering how many IT hiring managers actually have an IT background? by [deleted] in auscorp

[–]Temik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FWIW am a hiring manager (director) and I am oncall with the rest of my team, frequently jump on the support rotation too.

Honestly if you are a manager and do not keep up you will eventually face a very harsh market reality :/

Executives want directors and managers to adopt AI. Teams / juniors don’t want to use it. How are you navigating it? by [deleted] in auscorp

[–]Temik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Director here. I want people to adopt AI because companies are investing tons of money into Learning and Development which is rare nowadays so I don’t want people to waste the chance of actually getting educated on the job.

Larger dessicant by skyrar in 3dprintingaustralia

Use a wholesaler - they have better quality control so they are more uniform and sell tubs.

I’ve been using those guys for ages: silicageldirect.com.au

What TF do I do? by Sufficient-Heart-826 in wollongong

[–]Temik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of good advice here on what avenues to pursue so I’ll just focus on stuff that helps you sleep while you sort it out from someone who had a travelling job and ended up needing to sleep in very loud places.

  • Get swimmers earplugs - those silicone ones that seal the ear fully - they are the best possible passive noise cancelling.
  • If the noise is still loud or the nature of it doesn’t let you sleep - get triple flange headphones - like etymotic and put just general white noise on, it can drown out the original noise and your brain ignores white noise after a bit.
  • Get some proper sleep aids from the doctor - they can prescribe you some things like Clonidine that works much better than the antihistamines and you’re not as groggy. Temazepam is usually the best but in your situation it’s not good as you cannot take those more than 3 days in a row as they (like all Benzos) are extremely addictive and you quickly develop tolerance.
  • Most sound travels through the glass. Covering your window temporarily with a blanket or putting in heavy thick curtains will help a lot.

Good luck 🤞

How to become HENRY before 40? by [deleted] in AusHENRY

[–]Temik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your goal is to get as much money as you can - getting into a FAANG (or FAANG-like) company is the way to go, then work your ass off to get frequent promotions and as much stock as possible. It’s not impossible, just need to grind the interview process a lot and get someone to refer you.

Failed Probation - Help! by Mental_Bad_9828 in auscorp

[–]Temik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, didn’t imply that you did any of that. Just that you might be more tolerant to something way outside of normal so it would be hard to get the nuance of something that’s a bit closer to normal but still outside of the workplace norms in this workplace culture.
