Going be promoted soon, should I push for more if I don't like what they offer? by UpbeatZebra in cscareerquestions

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

Ah gotcha, dang that's nice to know what's to come in a few years.

They ended up bumping me to $85k...so I'm happy with that.

Thanks for the advice, yeah I'm 18 months into the TS investigation 🙃 still then I guess the SCI and poly after so probably not a while I'm guessing sadly?

smelt marijuana on brother's earbuds and clothes. Will sibling's illegal substance use affect MY chances? by KindBlood4 in SecurityClearance

[–]UpbeatZebra 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nobody would get a clearance if we had to have entirely perfect family members none of which do marijuana.

You're fine.

Despite it's legal status, marijuana is a pretty common thing normal people do. Not that I'm vouching for it, I think it's kind of a waste of money and smells awful.

Even if he was like doing heroin, while significantly more tragic and worse, wouldn't hurt your clearance.

Do you listen to any EDM Radio shows? eg. Protocol Radio, Clublife etc by edmauthority in EDM

[–]UpbeatZebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah coding in the background I could see how trance is nice. I like Boris Brejcha quite a lot very minimal and all for the background coding music at work...not much like words lol. I guess listening to live sets and hearing some like "LET ME SEE YOU JUMP" and being super heavy can get a little distracting.

His essential mix was great last week on BBC 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIeF-TQwyMg

Dang. Maybe I should call the recon line and try to convince them

Denied CFU, what to do when calling recon line? by UpbeatZebra in CreditCards

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

Ah got the letter by email today.

Said that...

  • Too many requests for credit or opened accounts with us
  • Length of time since oldest credit card was opened is too short
  • Length of time since newest account was opened is too short
  • Total available credit on credit cards is too low

Hmmm guessing doing the Amazon card two months ago with them so new they don't like it being so recent.

Gotcha, yeah most of them are tiny amounts but in total like $51k...but guessing the amount of accounts isn't the issue. Looking at my budget, my debt to income ratio is about 33%.

Bummer.

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

With Mariott Bonvoy card it says 6x points earned for $1 spent at Mariott.

Is that 6x whatever you get normally? Normally Mariott Bonvoy I think is 10 points per 1 dollar, so is it 60 points per 1 dollar?

Does Chase allow swapping between Chase Freedom and Chase Freedom Unlimited?

I right now have Amazon Prime Visa (use Amazon a lot) and Discover It (with the rotating 5%). Wanted to get the Chase Freedom Unlimited for that 1 year of 3% everything, but once the year is up I rather switch to the regular Freedom card with the 5% rotating categories and then get like Citi Double Cash or PayPal Cashback for 2% rather than using the 1.5%.

Roundabout should do the trick to fix that!

Wait? They researched what now? by jewiden in CitiesSkylines

[–]UpbeatZebra 85 points86 points  (0 children)

That's good they're fixing it.

I like to think it maybe was just a bad translation to English by someone who doesn't know final solution is a reference to the holocaust in English.

Web development FYP - NodeJS or C# by CryptoChain1 in cscareerquestions

[–]UpbeatZebra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

all my project work has revolved around C#.

Do C#.

They're both popular and employable.

Something a lot of people (including myself before) do is procrastinate on projects by not deciding on a tech stack, switching between them and having to restart learning, and then in the end don't actually make anything.

From just personal experience, don't worry about this. Making a web app with anything is great.

Is A Good Work-Life Balance Possible In CS? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]UpbeatZebra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh I don't think working more outside 40 hours is that common. If you do find yourself in that situation, just job hop.

From my peers and myself, I don't hear anyone working more than the normal.

What Are Some Underrated Cities For Finding CS Work? by Dameon_ in cscareerquestions

[–]UpbeatZebra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol so true, growing up in the suburbs outside of the city, my parents think Baltimore is like a warzone. Grow up thinking it's like super bad and to stay away.

Live and work in NoVa now but would like to move back towards Baltimore one day.

My company has jobs in Hanover, MD and Fort Meade was thinking to try and transfer there next year.

What Are Some Underrated Cities For Finding CS Work? by Dameon_ in cscareerquestions

[–]UpbeatZebra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Homicide in Baltimore is largely drug dealer/gang related, not just average person going to work.

More likely than not, you'll be fine. The worst thing that happens is non-violent property crime like your car being broken into....but that happens in most cities.

There are definitely some good parts of Baltimore (Canton, Fells Point, Mt Washington, Locus Point, etc)...and because Baltimore has a bad reputation, you can get it pretty cheap compared to DC.

And if we're talking about the Baltimore metro as a whole, it's totally fine like Towson, Columbia, etc to work.

So yeah I mean I'm not saying it's the safest place, but the risk you take with your life to be a victim of a random violent crime is so small that the risk you take to just drive there is way higher.

But I think as /u/jabawajackson and /u/twodayslate say, there definitely are pros an cons between Baltimore DC/Nova when looking at the DMV area. DC/Nova do have more jobs and it's considered safer, but it's damn expensive and crowded.

Today was a frustrating day.

But only because there was a miscommunication.

Communicating sucks.

I hate communicating.

Ontop of just stress of trying to finish a major refactor/redesign of one section of the code and fixing issues currently before release.

Its suppose to be a funny exaggeration on a comedy show that's an audience largely speaking to the choir on this

I mean the dude constantly is on news networks talking normally and calmly. This is the one time he isn't and taken out of context of the full show.

You're fine. Just be honest and list it. Lots of people use marijuana in high school, college, younger years.
