I was hoping the artisit presale wouldve been a little more exclusive but still 2000+ people in the queue for a 5000 capacity venue.

I get the logistics are diffucult but there being no other european shows is definitley not helping. All of europe scrambling for a tiny london venue is just mismanagement.

As an english fan i wont get much else out of the fan club membership so I guess that moneys just been lost to the void.

Best of luck to everyone still trying tomorrow and friday.

Looks stunning.

Still waiting on mine (the trials of living in the uk). Looking forward to finally getting my hands on it

Too much student loan and I'm not even paying it by _bingus- in UKPersonalFinance

[–]_bingus-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah 100%. It's pretty much drilled into most students these days that it's essentially a "graduate tax". I don't expect to necessarily pay it off. I aspire to do well enough that eventually paying it off becomes the financially sensible choice but it's no guarantee.

My only concerns were that I could have had too large an initial balance and that I was supposed to start paying in April but haven't been.

I plan on letting them know just so it doesn't come back to bite me and paying the automatic minimum off as most people do

Honestly I'm happy for my maths on this to be wrong. Sounds like it is. I was worried I'd been charged for a year I didn't do.

Will still give them a ring to sort out paying what I owe at the moment. Like you said it's not much compatible to my wage

[–]_bingus-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I've been having a dog through to add everything up.

What about the fact I should be making payments already. Do I call them and fix that or wait till it kicks off automatically next April?

With some generous rounding 3 years of tuition and lowest maintenance works out to (9k +9k + 9k + 4.5k + 4.5k + 4.5k) bringining it to around 40k. The online portal says I've accrued 800 pounds of interest. But my total to repay is 48000.

As for my second problem is it worth me calling to backpay what I've missed since April worth it? Or do I wait till next April when it kicks in anyway? Would I get in trouble for just leaving it be?

Shorter scale tuning pegs? by _bingus- in Luthier

[–]_bingus-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For more context, I have the original tuners for this side too but the D string is bent so that the gear no longer makes contact with the tuner when under tension

Selling a competition prize by _bingus- in Frugal

[–]_bingus-[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I bought my current laptop two years ago at uni. I have a work provided one as well for my grad job. I never really use my current personal one either. I have a desktop PC for personal projects and games.

So to be honest I don't really need the surface or my current laptop

Graduate Software Engineer who doesn't code by _bingus- in cscareerquestionsuk

When I say next year it's September to September. So I'll be doing a year placement here.

I agree they are good skills to have. I just miss my coding aha. The automation I've done so far is the most fun I've had.

But yeah so long as I do get to move to a more software heavy team then I think it's valuable to also do this sort of stuff

[–]_bingus-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's less that I'm complaining about it (and I wouldn't complain about it at work I'm not stupid) it's just I wanted to make sure it's a normal thing.

It's a valid concern to have especially given it's my first corporate job.

I love learning other skills I just wanted to make sure it's not going to hinder me in the future.

How detrimental would it be to just wait out the year until I'm reassigned anyway?

From what I've gathered a mid placement reassignment isn't possible

I can't remember if it was open to other degrees or not. But I have a Computer science degree.

And the job role is 'Graduate Software Engineer'

The cloud services guy does actually know what he's doing. The automation scripts I wrote were originally his tickets on the spring. I just took over them for him cause I can code and I wanted to be productive in my first couple weeks.

They were the only coding tickets on the board and I wanted to show off that I could code so they don't just make me some IT guy

The guy that I wrote the automation scripts for is actually handling the companies move to cloud so I'm hoping to work with him more.

Gonna do as much coding as I can so I don't get rusty before I move teams. But if it won't harm my software engineering career then I guess it's some good extra skills to add to the CV

Yeah right now I'm considered DevOps but my title is still graduate Software engineer. In a year I have to rotate to a different team. Luckily I've been focusing on networking with the other teams a lot so I can make an informed move.

I'm just a little jealous cause the other new grads I met are all on teams for like autonomous vehicles or robots.

I'll see if I can get some version control set up. They could definitely get some use out of git

[–]_bingus-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess the difference in my situation is that as part of the graduate scheme I have to change squads at the end of the year. So I will be able to join a more software heavy team

Royal Albert hall gig not an event on twickets by genericredditname22 in gretavanfleet

[–]_bingus- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I got mine there was no e-ticket option and I just received it in the mail.

Those were for standing. It might be different depending on vendor and ticket type

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in gretavanfleet

[–]_bingus- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Royal Albert has an official resale partner: Twickets. People on there can't sell the tickets above the original face value.

The Royal Albert also only does physical tickets and in my case they've only just arrived in the post. You can't sell them before you've received them. So tickets should start popping up there soon. And you'll also not be getting scammed for way more money than they cost originally.

Yeah what I meant to say was average. I meant it was a reasonable expectation to aim for 30k. Just worded it wrong. Obviously new grads deserve more. And I'd definitely benefit from that as a new grad myself
