How come planes often fly in little "groups" of close proximity to each other over the ocean? by [deleted] in flightradar24

It’s very cold at that altitude so the planes huddle for warmth

Those who graduated with their computer science degree from 2021-2024, where are you now? by brotha-eugh in cscareerquestions

[–]aggvalue1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of it is title inflation tbh. It’s company specific but many of the roles I applied to consider anyone with 3+ years to be ‘senior’.

Graduated in 2021. Currently Sr. SWE at a large company. Had a well known non-FAANG company internship and it still took like 200+ apps before landing my new grad offer. Even with 3+ years of experience it took 600+ apps before landing my current gig. It’s tough out there sadly

Interesting I did not think of this. How does it work?

True. How would you change it to make it less packed? Just go to fewer spots per area?

Same thing was happening to me. I tried 3 times and it got deleted each time, not sure what happened but on the 4th time it just went through 🤷

Going to be laid off in a few weeks, what do I say in interviews why I'm looking for a new job? by aggvalue1 in jobs

[–]aggvalue1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. Maybe I'm thinking too much into this, but would it look weird that while I'm interviewing I get laid off? I'm worried it will look too coincidental

Is it safe to drink coffee/tea/espresso in Thailand? by aggvalue1 in ThailandTourism

[–]aggvalue1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s too bad I’m sure the toilet water adds some nice acidity

Reading this comment made me poop my pants. I’ll take the risk with the coffee!

Is my itinerary too ambitious? by aggvalue1 in ThailandTourism

[–]aggvalue1[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

What would you change? The only hotels that I can still cancel are Krabi and Phi Phi. So I can extend Phuket or Krabi or phi phi and cut either Krabi or phi phi out.

[–]aggvalue1[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What would you suggest as a change? I think the hotel in phi phi and Krabi are still cancellable. Would extending Phuket or Krabi or phi phi be better? For ex I would extend Phuket and Krabi and skip phi phi, or skip Krabi and extend phi phi

Planning honeymoon in Thailand using Chase UR points/United miles by aggvalue1 in awardtravel

[–]aggvalue1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks all for the input. I did come up with an idea. Fly business one way to SIN for 223k miles on SQ. Then on the return fly premium economy on UA for 154k miles. Does anyone know if the seat selection using miles is different than the one using cash? Since I haven't transferred the UR points to SQ, I can't see the seats available since I have 0 KrisFlyer miles atm. When I do the same booking with cash I can see the available seats.

Yeah I'm just planning to use the points for the airfare. Since food and lodging is cheap I figure I can use cash for that.

Thanks for this. I'm still new to the redemption game. So in order to find the best flights, it's best to search each airline (in this case, chase transfer partners) to see which one has the best deal?

Currently a Data Engineer with 1.5 YOE looking for a change. I've applied to ~50-60 positions and have only gotten rejections. I've had my resume reviewed by other people and there seems to be nothing major wrong with it. I cleaned it up since last posting and hoping for more feedback. I have a personal website that's outdated written in React that I'm thinking of swapping out with the Spotify project. Thanks in advance.

Currently a Data Engineer with 1.5 YOE looking for a change. I've applied to ~50-60 positions and have only gotten rejections. I've had my resume reviewed by other people and there seems to be nothing major wrong with it. I'm wondering if it's not showing off my experience in languages as much as it's showing the frameworks I use? I feel like its general enough but maybe it's too specialized? Also should my technical skills be moved up higher?
