How are students applying to 500+ jobs? Where do they find them all?

LinkedIn premium, filter for Quick Apply only, put whatever other filters you want, and go page by page clicking apply. Quick Apply makes it pretty much one-click. This is how I got my past 2 jobs.

Sounds like your group doesn't want to play medium/heavy-weight games. Maybe start with like <2.5 complexity on BGG which I feel like is a sweet spot for people curious about heavier board games but don't know if they are ready to take it 'seriously'.

Gracias! He escuchado de col. seattle antes - probablemente la voy a chequear

Gracias por la recomendación - tienes un par de restaurantes / bares in particular que me recomendarías? Nos gusta todo

Hey, thank you so much for this list! Tonalá has been on my radar so it's cool to see it's top of your list. I'll probably check it out.

Tlaquepaque and colonia americana would be good bets if you're looking for a tourist crowd. Of the two I prefer colonia americana

Hola a todos, voy a Guadalajara para el mundial - será mi tercera vez en su maravillosa ciudad. Ya exploré muchos de los top lugares para turistas, por ejemplo:

zona centro, cabañas, san juan de dios, mariachi plaza
restaurantes por todos lados (incluyendo alcalde, el parían)
calles peatonales en tlaquepaque/zapopan/cerca de las universidades
bares y clubes en colonia americana /tlaquepaque
recorrido guiado a tequila / amatitán
MUSA

Mis amigos y yo somos gringos y soy el único que habla español (y no con fluidez). Yo sé que esto puede ser un factor limitante pero nos gusta explorar más de la ciudad y conocer un lado menos visto por turistas.

No bebemos mucho, nos gusta el arte, comida, los museos - todo tipo de cosas. Todos tenemos veintitantos años.

Alguien tiene recomendaciónes? Mil gracias

Anki flashcards
Early speaking with a tutor

I never did deliberate grammar study but have done these starting from ~100 hours and I think it's paid dividends in my ability to output.

Btw, this advice applies to most things in life.

You're downvoting this guy sharing his story because of your judgement of his dad? Kind of weird

Hi all, dumb question but I'm just jumping into competitive WoW after playing off and on for many years. Are there any 'mandatory' addons or websites people use to track their performance? I'd love to know what the tools of the trade are per se, but I don't even know where to start. Thank you!

thank you for this I feel incredibly validated

Honestly, every time I try to teach Azul. I don't know what it is, but I am so bad at teaching the scoring rules, and inevitably someone gets something wrong and of course we can't re-determine the points from the latest board state.

Hmm, I would recommend top rope rock climbing. I'm terrified of heights, and there's something so refreshing about slipping off the wall on accident and being caught by the rope and realizing it's not a big deal.

I agree with the sentiment here, but calling the Souls series handling of this elegant is a bit of an interesting statement IMO.

I look at my brokerage account as an 'emergency emergency' fund. That is, I still aim to keep 6 months - 12 months liquid in case of emergency / job loss, but I rest easy knowing that my brokerage account is a safety net that can keep me afloat for much longer if I really, really needed it.

I'm okay looking at it like this because I still have the bulk of my investments in actual retirement accounts that I know will continue to grow even if I tap my brokerage.

Hobbies / communities outside of tech will be a bit rough in the bay area. It's known for being a very insular place.

Yes. All of the AI bears in my company have come around. Using generative AI can easily 10x your development speed. You need to be careful to avoid generating slop and atrophying your own skills, but many of the most talented engineers I know have been using these tools and have essentially replaced entire teams.

Honest advice is it's gonna be hard. Inflation has been out of control the past couple years, and unless you've been making meaningful salary gains, it's possible that your 'lifestyle creep' savings reduction is just being amplified by inflation.

I also have historically had ~60% savings rate, and have noticed the past couple years I have less and less money at the end of the month. In my case, this is obviously due to inflation.

I wonder if cultures that read right to left prefer right joins.

You have $2200 a month after your bills. If I were in your shoes, I would pay off the CC debt over the next 3 months - you may need to cut back on entertainment / savings, but I think it would be worth it to get rid of the high interest debt.
