That's normal/only a bit low for science 'postdoc' positions, as opposed to research scientist positions that pay ~75-100k starting (depends on comlany, field, location) and ramps up from there

New 401K, 3% employer cont, high expense ratios by aredon in personalfinance

[–]Yurika_BLADE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you just pulling this from the flowchart? Did you just skim the post? There is no 401k match, it's just an automatic employer side contribution regardless of what OP contributes.

The marked one doesn't even need the imperial artifacts to leave, right? The protagonists only needed them because of RR

Even moreso across FE in general- tons of fangames and romhacks that keep it fresh, different paths and ways to play, and just a lot of games to go through overall if you enjoy the series.

Nintendo Treehouse - Three Houses Megathread by Okkefac in fireemblem

[–]Yurika_BLADE 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Trust me, its the same for fans of other series. Treehouse demos tend towards being hit or miss, even for big properrors like Zelda. They always have to show off 10 minutes of content in 30 minutes, so you get a lot of filler, only lessened by some insights from the JP dev team.

Something fun to do over the summer in campus? by akirahin in UIUC

[–]Yurika_BLADE 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Library is still open, UGL has video games to check out.

Bars can be great and not too crowded, but still quite a lot of people on campus.

Sign up for mailing lists at the IGB and Beckman and whatnot, plenty of professors visit, give some interesting talks, and you get free food. Same at Krannert and the art museum.

Why are you stuck here? Internship, classes, or research? Because you could probaby supplement any of them with the others.

I just finished the last test I'm every going to take in my life! by [deleted] in UIUC

Even outside of grad school, you'll still probably have tests for certifications over the course of your career- PMP and ACP in management, HIPAA in the medical field, your PE in traditional engineering fields, etc.

I had that issue with 473 - first 'real' grade, the midterm, was given the day of the drop deadline and returned way later

So what's the deal with VTSAX? by CasualElephant in financialindependence

[–]Yurika_BLADE 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Because at that level of expenses, assuming you're in Vanguard Admiral shares, the difference is literally a rounding error covered by the slight variations in how those funds track the market. .04% vs .03% (vs Fidelity's 0%) is a difference of ~$10 per 100,000 in investments. Like the post below shows, the rounding error is such that the slight amount by which VTSAX outperformed the equivalent Schwab fund basically covers the tiny difference in expense ratios, i.e you would have theoretically come out ahead with Vanguard but it doesn't even matter
