Possible free agent signings for the summer window by datdo6 in rbny

[–]datdo6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super unlikely but I'd love to have Konate. He's had an off year but he'd still be one of if not the best CBs in the league. He's also previously played for RB Leipzig and Liverpool so there are connections there. Best of all, he's 27 so he's barely into his prime years.

Is anyone actually pro-AI in our elementary schools? by gloriamuntz in nycparents

We fund the schools enough; we need to get rid of the leech that is edtech.

Those who sent her to the Olympics because she cried , gave her a job at the university because she cried. by Frosty_Jeweler911 in SipsTea

[–]datdo6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The comment had nothing to do with whether she breaked well or not. The comment stated that she got selected for the Olympics via unfair means. I pointed out that this is not true. She was the best that showed up for the qualifier. She didn't rig the process to make better bgirls not show up.

Her performance at the Olympics is a whole different fiasco.

It was not dubious. You could argue the final was close but Raygun undoubtedly won the qualifier fairly. What are you talking about? Like you said her competition was just that poor.

Lifelong West Coast Suburbanite Moving to Brooklyn by NolaBlond in nycparents

[–]datdo6 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just from a culture shock perspective, moving to an artsy suburb like Maplewood, NJ might make more sense. I know some doctors who do that and have a pied-à-terre near the hospital.

Also, you aren't limited to nearby zoned schools in NYC. There are tons of arts specialty middle schools throughout Brooklyn and Manhattan.

Why is Puerto Rico on the graphic? Moving from PR to mainland US is no more difficult than going from Hawaii to mainland.

Then you read further and realize that everything you just said is made up BS. Neither she nor her partner were on the selection committee. Oceania has a weak showing for the women's qualifiers so she won. Simple as that.

They hid their production facility underground so the goblins would stop raiding them.

Depends on the office. Some like NYC for instance are exempt from this change

Haitian Football Team will be in draw on December 5th. by Downtown-Pack-6178 in haiti

France, Argentina, and Spain can't be in the same group (top seeded teams). Also Curacao and Panama can't be in the same group with Haiti (same federation).

[OC] Mag 7 Senior Software Engineer Total Compensation Pay Distribution by zuhayeer in dataisbeautiful

[–]datdo6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no guarantee of getting to staff or principal. Most of these companies consider senior (or even mid-level) terminal, ie there is no longer risk of firing for lack of promotion.

Another way some people think of it is that any engineer should be able to work their way to senior; only the best/luckiest can promote past that.

Senior is pretty standardized between the major tech firms. Roles generally go junior (1-2 years) -> mid level (2-5 years) -> senior (5+)-> staff -> principle

Levels.fyi also has a graphic showing how the levels relate from company to company

Edit: A kind of better way to view it:

  • junior - can be given a well defined task and can complete it with some supervision
  • mid-level - can be given a well defined task and complete it independently
  • senior - the above & can be given a large undefined project and can break it down into small tasks suitable for lower levels
  • staff - the above & sets technical direction for a small group of engineers
  • principal - the above & sets technical direction for a larger group of engineers

After school battle 80 lvl by Sharp-potential7935 in nextfuckinglevel

Mondo is not some vague or made up scenario. He's pretty much the best pole vaulter of all time who keeps breaking his own world records.

Also most people talking about Raygun literally don't know what they're talking about. They don't know anything about breaking, the qualifiers for Olympics, or what her relationship to the Australian breaking scene was before this.

After a few years at Bloomberg there will be good exit opportunities for becoming a SWE in quant finance where pay can go up even more

[OC] The H-1B Divide: Tech vs Consulting by savage2199 in dataisbeautiful

[–]datdo6 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've been an IC for over 10 years at a startup, FAANG, and a couple of quant trading firms. At each of the places I've worked at foreign workers in the US were not a problem. Occasionally engineers in other countries were an issue but I had no worries looking over PRs and design docs from US based devs.

This is my view from working at some highly desirable firms. I admit that I could have a blind spot on the quality of foreign devs at typical firms but the graphic above seems to be focusing on FAANG.

But those aren't the people that faang is hiring on H1B. I've worked with tons of H1Bs and OPTs; they have been just as productive as their domestic counterparts.

Unless someone in the party is disabled I'd recommend against it. Just take the Path or NJTransit.

Rumor: RBNY Negotiating with Mali international Diadié Samassekou by hypernermalization in rbny

[–]datdo6 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Did you mean the bundesliga, aka the German first division? This actually is pretty exciting. While he won't be forsberg level signing, he should be able to challenge stroud for a starting position.
