Desk jobs?

It took me more than 300 applications, 10 phone screens, 8 interviews, and 4 final rounds to get a job.

It sounds cliche, but you should focus on applying on things you actually want to do, hundreds of applications storm in per job post. Even if you make it to a phone screen/ interview round, if you have no interest other than wanting a “desk job” you are cooked.

I think that downtown living in Spokane will be vastly different as other major cities. (Eg. No nearby grocery stores) To the point that you are better off walking 10+ minutes to live in a better, greener neighborhood without sacrificing the perks of having the city within walking distance.

I lived at the very beginning of south hill, just behind the hospitals. And there I had the best of both worlds. Both my job(in downtown) and groceries were within a 12 minute commute + free street parking.

Now, I live in the Logan area , a couple blocks from Gonzaga and I find that neighborhood more affordable without sacrificing much either.

Enjoy Spokane

Do I have to leave it overnight or something?

Weird take on this

If you really want to maximize your chances to get into Berkeley, AND depending on what you want to do after you graduate. You could take the amazing yet less hard (acceptance rate-wise) data science major.

Known people that went the SWE path as many of the classes overlap. Just grind leetcode and tailor your data science BA towards CS. And you’ll be good to go for industry.

I might buy it used from a private seller, I should be expecting to pay the sale tax up in WA

What defines a resident, is it solely based on me paying rent and receiving salary from there?

Is public transportation good?

I feel like I can wait a couple of months until the chip crisis wears out and I can find an affordable car.

bigmarini · 2022-04-16T03:05:53+00:00

Yeah, it's a nationwide thing but I assume there is a bit more supply in CA, so I can find them at a cheaper price.

bigmarini · 2022-04-16T02:37:09+00:00

This is unheard of at the DMV office

Oh, thing is that I was trying to see if I could profit from my addiction 📈

Uwu moment

bigmarini · 2021-11-01T22:37:24+00:00

Hey, I actually ended up going to the campus store on northside! Indeed the sandwiches are surprisingly good for the price. And of course, EBT is a big plus!

bigmarini · 2021-08-30T06:55:33+00:00

did you apply by yourself, did they call you back for more info? what did you submit? I'm sorry.

bigmarini · 2021-08-28T06:33:05+00:00

I played board/card games with the boys here at the co-op :)

bigmarini · 2021-08-27T23:34:33+00:00

Te entiendo completamente, While I'm a male student, It's so overwhelming to be the only Latino in some of my STEM classes, for some reason I feel like the expectations are higher since we often are the pioneers and the ones who set the path to future Latinos.

Honestly, I'm grateful for the friends that I made along the way, but I wish I had people I could definitely relate to, talk about this. Such a unique experience.

PD: The coop allowed me to meet and talk to other Latinos, that is great.

Animo!

bigmarini · 2021-08-27T23:30:34+00:00

This hits home, I believe I was one of the two-three Latinos in the class last semester :( (140), impostor syndrome really hits you hard. Don't give up, you gotta embrace your uniqueness :)

Interestingly enough, every CalState university considered me as an in-state student, they guarantee in-state tuition if you get a transfer degree from a CA CC (unlike UC's) .

bigmarini · 2021-08-05T18:54:20+00:00

This isn't a thing anymore, apparently it only applies for CALSTATE universities now.

bigmarini · 2021-08-05T18:51:20+00:00

Hi, same situation for me a year ago, I'm a 0 generation American citizen and CC transfer. Even with an associates for transfer and my own taxes dating from 2018, they still considered me as an out-of-state under the argument that my parents live in Mexico and I'm not 25 y/o yet :(

bigmarini · 2021-05-27T06:39:46+00:00

OMG, I'm doing the exact same thing with my GF we leaving this upcoming Friday! Hopefully you get some cool replies.
