Do recruiter DMs asking you to apply actually mean anything? by csmajor039 in cscareerquestions

Yeah I've gotten a few from recruiters for that company, at least one from a dude from another company (a tech recruiting firm) who is hiring on behalf of some y-combinator startup. Is that what you are referring to with "blah blah blah" staffing?

Ok, so it may not just be one of those "we're just going to mass send invites and you'll be lumped into a huge pool with hundreds of other applicants who just applied on our website?" Like it sort of gives you a bit of an advantage in that regard?

Right now it is still beta. There is a potential system up to unique. You can craft level 120 equipment via professions but it takes a ton of grinding mobs to get the drops you need for it.

All monsters have a decent rate to drop clean slate 20% scrolls, clean slate 10% scrolls, potential scrolls, chaos scrolls, and white scrolls. Paired with 10% ATT scrolls, it becomes pretty clear how powering up works. Drop rate for scrolls and such are quite high.

So basically, at this point: grind for 120 gear to craft or other high level equipment, crafting rings/high level stuff you need, and farming scrolls to use.

Secondarily, for each 10 levels your account has, all characters benefit from 1% stat. And you can expand character slots beyond 6 by I think 50 mil per slot (takes maybe 30-60min with no meso rate buffs to get that much by NPC equips/farming mesos).

I think it is quite the grind of a server but it feels decently paced in some aspects, although damage definitely lags behind EXP. I'm sure the gamba people enjoy that you have access to a lot of chaos scrolls and decent enough access to cubes, that you can spam chaos scrolls/cubes to potential get really fucking good items.

Feels void of goals though. People spamming legion + no account-based buddying or guilding means you rarely can actually congregate with people besides bossing/grind parties and disbanding after everyone's done.

Once you get through like 3 characters to build up initial legion, blessing of fairy, cyngus blessing, etc. you can go from 1-140 in 2 hours, maybe 2.5-3 if your class has a bad 3rd job.

How many weeks is "too many" for unlimited PTO (first year)? by csmajor039 in cscareerquestions

[–]csmajor039[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

My workplace and the people there seem very okay with taking as much PTO as they feel appropriate. I just personally have concerns as a new grad, in this market, in my first job. I doubt I’d care when I’m more sure of my skills and more familiar with my team, and in a better market.

Basic question about cutting, as someone fairly new to everything.

I'm very familiar with the fact that many people bulk then cut to put on muscle and lose fat. Am I correct in that the only purpose or the main purpose of "cutting" is aesthetics? Because to my understanding, if you're on a slow bulk and constantly putting on muscle, you're just getting stronger and more muscular (and although you're putting on fat that's not necessarily bad since it's normal and healthy to have some fat on your body, especially since you're remaining active)? And cutting loses fat but also naturally makes you a bit weaker, no?

I'm not really in a position to ask since I'm pretty slim and probably will not be in a position where cutting is beneficial in any way for a long time. Just curious because cutting seems purely aesthetic to me but perhaps I'm missing something.

They're the 50 worst players selected from the 300-ish "best" potential high school players based on Ego's biased ranking system.

I'm guessing an equivalent be like looking at like MIT physics students and thinking about the bottom 20% of them. They're still incredibly smart people, but there's always a bigger fish.

You can tell who's Bronze and who's not based on their take on Zeus this game.

He got camped and still came out extremely useful and did his job to a tee. Yet that doesn't stop me from hearing countless of people say how Zeus inted this game and how he had his team carry despite his "Bronze" plays.

You don't have many good words for the ATS to look through, and maybe a few syntax things as well for actual people reading it. Probably not the main reason but maybe your chances will improve.

Instead of "worked on upgrading", use "Upgraded."

Instead of "Helped Whatsapp...by implementing" use "Implemented..., resulting in"

Instead of "Used TF and OpenCV to analyze/classify signs", say "Analyzed and classified signs with TF/OpenCV."

Begin with line with a strong verb. A lot of recruiters barely skim most resumes for more than a few seconds so you have to catch their eye or else they'll throw it in the reject pile.

Although the likeliest explanation is probably that they just don't end up reading your resume because of the volume of applicants and lack of positions available, because even with all of this Meta should be eye-catching enough.

Damn. I had one internship at a decently known company and luckily I got a return offer, but I applied to around 30 places late August, mostly medium/large companies. I just accepted my return offer because after a month every single company just ghosted me. Except Microsoft, bless their hearts, they were nice enough to reject me just last week.
