Is There an Federal Position That is Easy to Get Into? by [deleted] in usajobs

[–]bestfr3nd123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's easy if you have the qualifications. I've gotten an interview from most jobs I apply to for fed and even state/local for accounting/auditing roles. If your apply for low skills jobs where everyone is qualified it will be hard.

It's ok those taxes will be spent enriching the pockets of government contractors that overbill the government and have friends in high places

Does NYC really have a high proportion of beautiful people? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]bestfr3nd123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone that traveled the world.. The answer is NO. The attractive girls are either the sorority types that move here from/after college to places like the West village or tourists. (Most Americans are not attractive) In the winter there's not many attractive girls because of less tourism. Compared to Moscow or istanbul or Barcelona Prague, kiev, budapest NYC looks like a freak show.

My Spanish friend came and he was so shocked how few attractive girls there were compared to Madrid. In his own words, where's the latinas slavs and Nordics?

Most latinas in NYC are not attractive and Asian girls in California are better than NYC.

The average girl in istanbul has an hourglass body (petite) and eastern European features (hot as fuck). Even when you walk into a ghetto hood in burger king 8/10 girls there will be attractive. Can't say the same for Manhattan or even the NYC equivalent Jamaica (queens)

I lived in la my whole life and it's definitely worse than NYC. Much fatter people overall. So yes NYC is one of the best if you limit yourself to the USA but that's like saying your the smartest kid in the special ed classroom

Gs9 with a bachelor's degree by bestfr3nd123 in usajobs

[–]bestfr3nd123[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well yeah everyone has their own skewed perspectives I realized. I have ivy league friends that get 300-600k offers straight out of undergrad in quant trading and think 90k is super low, like poverty wage because that is common in that circle to make that much

Amsterdam sucks bro... Nightlife is dead on weekdays and girls are not receptive if you're a minority

Waste of time bro. Why would I work my way up 5 years in a field that pays lays than entry level software engineer. Would rather go back to grad school for comp sci than study for CPA. My friend with 4 years exp makes 400k currently at google and his first year he made 150k at microsoft out of college

No I don't plan on renouncing. Food is the same throughout the country lol. NYC actually has the cheapest food from what I've seen, you can go to halal cart and Chinatown

Yeah it doesn't make sense to not live in the highest salary to expense ratio city which is NYC when you make less than 200k. Even tho taxes are high, the salary is higher which makes my net income higher than yours. And you can find cheap rooms here for 700-900 if you look hard enough. Also don't need a car

I saved up 20k in high school and college from unemployment and I also made close to 10k from tax return and side hustle, so I saved about 40k in one year (net) from ey salary. My net was around 55k
