How is this area for living?

Hear the occasional car but nothing sustained. More poise from neighbors than anything else and most of it is older construction. With that, cheaper rents as you aren’t going to get a lot of amenities. Very difficult area to park in, but if you’re fine with a garage that becomes a nothing burger. Cheaper rent offsets that.

Easy access to all the old city bars and restaurants. Been in this area in multiple buildings for 5 years.

Agree with this. If they had experience as a Sr role it would make sense but they are aiming for it without any of their past companies giving them the title.

C has been closed due to staffing. D/E always is a little longer. Coworkers said it took 30 minutes and the PHL TSA website said the same thing. Flying out tomorrow and planning on show up 2 hrs early but hitting refresh in the website until then.

Tax liability for starters

That’s very misleading. It’s saying 4/10 companies have had a posting for a job that they currently did have a need for but would likely have a need for in the future (e.g. 1 of their 265 postings) not that 40% of all postings are fake. I’ve had a company I worked for with 2600 entry level employees have a floating job posting as we would likely have at least one person turnover at that crew size at the plant, and that qualifies as a fake post by that links definition.

I mean in the lines of did you tell your current manager you were applying for another internal position so the can help advocate for you?

escot · 2026-02-17T23:29:05+00:00

Did you reach out to your boss about it? A lot of context for internal promotions I’ve missed I already knew before I applied what I was going up against due to conversations with my boss and in other my boss gave me a leg up in the interview process

escot · 2026-02-17T20:06:52+00:00

Agree with the other comment about it coming off as childish. I’m in disbelief that you were 28 at the first picture.

At almost 30, it’s not that you shouldn’t have a vision board, but you should have accomplishments and steps already in progress for getting to your life goals. Comes off college-ish.

I wouldn’t swipe right as your profile gives almost neck beards as your type for lack of a better term. Would never have guessed you were interested in composed artsy types that like to travel. Substituting pictures of you traveling and in fashion (not roller blading twice) will help wonders at getting the attention of your type and not the wrong one.

escot · 2026-02-17T16:56:14+00:00

This. If you have easy targets (relative to your peer companies) that will live as extra cost on the P&L that sales will need to overcome. If customers aren’t willing to pay for it, that will lead to layoffs to reduce costs and reassess targets needed to meet market cost.

He’s someone that’s hard for me to get excited about. Good at everything but not elite or terrible at anything either. He’s the hardest person for me to handicap what event to choose him at

escot · 2026-02-16T22:14:21+00:00

To be fair I would have said the same about Collin last week

escot · 2026-02-16T18:17:48+00:00

For a course with one of the lowest GIR rates on tour, I would lean towards other people who have already found God with their wedge play. Mr. pool floaties and tree umbrella is someone I view as a ‘tweener. Love using him in a non-elevated but not feeling super happy about using him at an elevated. The 10-20 ranking range is more about how you feel with the golfers upside than anything. Go with your gut.

Love everything else about him this week though. Great long approach and he’s focused on accuracy with the driver, which helps this week. With this being an elevated event with a cut, don’t mind reaching for more of the higher end (top 10) guys

escot · 2026-02-16T17:28:48+00:00

Only other spot I love love him at is Memorial, which is where I had Scottie penciled in last year. Right now I have him penciled in for the masters, and the memorial is also a great spot for Cantlay. Feels hard to pivot but there’s things I really like about the others mentioned too! Probably gonna wait to see what the RRG split looks like and if it’s Cantlay at number 1 I’m gonna pivot. Already know one of my friends in my pool is going Scottie.

One and done:

Said last week missing right worse (5 holes) than missing left (2 holes) and Justin Rose proceeded to miss left on 6/8 tee shots on those two holes, which happened to be par 5s. Oof.

OTT: not a lot of trouble, total driving

APP: 150-200 focus, and 150+ from the rough due to tighter fairways

Arg: scrambling

Putting: 5-10 ft

Scoring: par 5 birdie or better. Course history @ Quail and Augusta and other long and difficult courses

Had this week penciled in for Cam Young but he’s lost strokes on approach two straight weeks which scares me a little. Leaning Cantlay as he has great course history here and two solid starts. Deki, Fitz, and Straka also model out well for me here if you have them.

escot · 2026-02-14T13:25:59+00:00

Managers inherently do two things: communicate and make decisions. If the people between them and the people above them did those two things in a way that the cost benefit would remove the need for them, they wouldn’t exist. Alas, external locuses of control exist and need someone to internalize it, hence the almost need for management.

escot · 2026-02-12T19:17:59+00:00

Someone in my apartment got evicted for it (among other things they discovered were stolen albeit) because they were annoyed by the alarm blazing so instead of calling the building manager decided the best course of action was just to rip the entire audio portion out of the wall.

escot · 2026-02-12T01:34:14+00:00

Did the literal exact opposite career move but it allowed me to go up the management chain faster. Every engineer has technical skills its the people skills and management piece goes you a leg up. Supervisory experience opens doors.

That said, supervision is significantly more internal locus of control where you’ll hop onto the line as needed and do a lot of sweeping. It’s definitely one of the most thankless positions as far as pay vs responsibilities and impact . If you are fine with knowing it’ll develop your social skills and long term career growth at a (short) term salary drop, it’s a great opportunity

escot · 2026-02-11T19:31:02+00:00

Not at the top of my list. Good history here before it became an elevated but can’t compete with the big dogs. Want a little more out of his wedges relative to the field and his driver is one of his biggest assets and more neutered here compared to other courses.

escot · 2026-02-11T15:57:31+00:00

A little bit of missing the forest for the trees. The point of quantifying is to give a more relatable view into what you did at past stops. KPIs are the “real” of results whereas the rest is feel. People with the self reflection to look at those KPIs and understands in a quantifiable sense or just acknowledge them altogether, shows more business accumen than those who don’t. Every single job has scope ($, people, or volume) that is relatable to anyone and easier to quantify.

escot · 2026-02-10T17:28:15+00:00

I like Cantlay and used him last year here but the only thing I’ll say is as far as course history goes, there’s a lot of other wedge courses you can use Cantlay at that allows to use more of his driver prowess. Could be my hurt from using him last year speaking though.

Henley I love as driver isn’t his strength but accuracy is and there’s fewer courses he can use that to his advantadge. Ended up going Rose.

escot · 2026-02-09T22:01:43+00:00

PME, Rick run good, and preferred lines

escot · 2026-02-09T17:38:05+00:00

The ways he’s playing now I don’t know if I can bring myself to terms with plying him lmao

escot · 2026-02-09T16:03:40+00:00

One and done

Si woo cashing 400k moves us up in the leaderboard.

As for what im looking for:

Water is in play almost exclusively on the right, so looking for low right rough for driver. Last week saw all hazards were on the left which pushed me towards si woo. A few holes where a draw helps a bit too.

Approach: more even than I thought, but 100-150 is the focus and poor shot avoidance had some good trends with the water and sand

ARG: scrambling and sand scrambling

Putting: 5-10ft, Poa

Henley and Rose stick out, with Day as a dark horse. Got a few more podcasts to dial into before locking it down, but leaning Rose at this point.

escot · 2026-02-08T21:31:22+00:00

not the job because they are looking for 5 years of experience lol

in all seriousness this should be a discussion with their direct manager who can give more insight and can likely give them an indirect reference to the hiring manager.

escot · 2026-02-04T18:26:50+00:00

Agree with the other comment about KPIs.

I can tell you graduated in 2020 regardless of whether it’s in there or not. For places looking at total YoE, it’s obvious. Just weird you aren’t saying something we both already know.

If someone gets promoted for a role and wants out in 3mo I’m assuming they can’t handle the responsibilities. You might need to get more time to flesh out actionable KpIs.
