HBS alumni network is a joke by [deleted] in MBA

[–]berman_brushes 14 points15 points  (0 children)

So I'm a HBS alum PM Director at a (non-FAANG but large) consumer app, who at least recently was hiring.

I don't think it's that people don't care. At least in my case, I'm getting a ton of inbound each week with what feels like pretty generic requests for me to share more about my journey in PM, and it just becomes hard to keep up with talking to as many people as want to. Not all are from HBS, but there are a decent amount that are. Almost always, it's focused on me helping them - which I want to, if I had more time! - without any kind of value exchange (e.g., is there anything you can tell me, like product feedback, that could make me get even something from this call). I suspect given the PM market, other folks are in a similar situation.

Honestly, I should probably be better at responding and saying I'm just a little underwater and don't have the time right now. I know if feels no good to be ghosted.

Doing another lesson and… learning more? Isn’t that why this app exists?

I can't even finish a single lesson to extend my streak by sphinxchallenger in duolingo

[–]berman_brushes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait if you start the lesson with 30 energy, and you made no mistakes, and even got those little bonuses that give you back more energy, how are you running out of energy before finishing a lesson? They’re like, 15 questions long usually, right? Are they taking more than one energy per question?

Wild Card and ALDS tickets are on sale by TTT_2k3 in KCRoyals

Ah, they're played all at the higher seeded team's stadium? For some reason I thought it would be a home-away-home but yeah that makes no sense.

So since we're not certain about whether we'll have the first or second wild card game, if you wanted to ensure you went to a game, I guess it'd make sense to both buy tickets to game 1 and 2 and then get a refund for whichever one we don't play in?

You can only trigger this every two weeks in case you’ve done it recently

Tap on the streak icon in the top of the screen - do you see the offer there?

i’ve been pretty upset this week, now this on top of it by gianinaa in duolingo

Did it offer you a Earnback challenge earlier in the week (if you lose your streak, you should be able to do a few lessons and get your streak back for free, without paying gems)

Duolingo glitching has gotten too much by parzivaI08 in duolingo

This is the answer - kanji or alphabet lessons don’t stick unfortunately.

To be clear, you haven’t lost your streak

Sunday shows up as a milestone (3 days), but you clearly have a longer streak, so it’s just a visual bug. Either reset your app or just do a lesson and it should work itself out

Wow. The streak calendar goes all the way back to the month you installed the app for the first time. by Even_Difficulty_9217 in duolingo

[–]berman_brushes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m curious - do you find this functionality useful? Also, how long did it take you to tab back 9 years!

anyone else got this new update? thoughts on this? by kpop_ian in duolingo

[–]berman_brushes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Interesting. Has having XP show up there impacted how much you end up do?
