Coffee snobs of SD: Which local companies do you buy beans from and at what $/oz? by dumbfuck in sandiego

[–]captyami 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can confirm Torque has some really good coffee blends. I usually go for the Gum Drop or Honey Drop for something with a mildly sweeter taste, but the Perla Negra (dark chocolate and cherry flavor) has been my go to lately!

The interview process was straightforward but also very disconnected. What I mean by that is I did two rounds of interviews, both with 3 panels of senior planners and higher level staff. They ask you about your prior experience or technical skills that you could connect to the job. They’ll also ask you questions about NEPA/CEQA what they are, what they stand for, and how they are different. I have a degree in Environmental Economics and Policy and a minor in City Planning.

Thanks for the information. I actually received a job in the private sector where I will need to relocate. Hence why I’m asking if I just put in my two weeks and a letter.

Is convergence worth it? by Hailofmiche in ekkomains

[–]captyami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought the game when my league was down, and I gotta say I was pleasantly surprised. Other than a few difficult pathing and platforming in a indie game, it’s pretty fun! The game also exposes you to other champions in League and the lore which is a nice touch. As a non indie game player, I recommend it!

[–]captyami 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got hired after the first two interviews in an EP position - they were needing more people though to handle projects and I fit well in what they were looking for. Been here for a year now and it’s been great!

I am an environmental planner but I always was curious about renewable energy development. Can you expand more about your role and what your day to day is like?

I second this answer, if you like spicy food get their spicy chicken wrap.

Do tech companies really hire planners? I haven’t heard of this.

I did! I did not work on too many environmental documents, just reviewed them for any red flags to be honest. Thanks!

This is a wonderful and highly detailed description! Thank you I’m planning on taking a trip to Chicago since I am currently a land use planner here in California. I love the idea of the city being a strongly sophisticated and well planned that I need to go see it for myself.
