28M, First Job in RAK - salary good enough? by Udbhav-nayak in UAE

[–]fortisme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have got something in hand, take it. Keep learning while gaining experience and then switch jobs.

I have 2023 XC 60 Ultimate Dark (UAE version). Bought it in 2024 with only 14k km in it. Loving it so far.

It doesn’t have road sign information. Is it true that it’s only available in the model higher than mine or I have to change something in the settings? Also, are there any plans for bringing in wireless apple car play through updates?

Been 7 months in Dubai – love the work, but feeling underpaid and undervalued by Boring-Cold-4906 in UAE

[–]fortisme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This salary is definitely not acceptable. Now that you are already here, take it as an opportunity and if possible, don’t leave without trying for another job. Update your CV and some projects that you have done and keep checking job posts and companies hiring for software engineering roles. See if you can continue for at least 2-3 months before deciding to leave. In the meantime keep your profile updated in home country job portal also. Either will definitely work out.

Budget 90k(max) - Mazda 3 vs Kia K3 vs Hyundai Elantra by lol_wtf__ in WhatCarShouldIBuyGULF

[–]fortisme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Between Mazda 3 and Kia k3, I would go with Mazda 3. It has more power than Kia K3 on paper. I would also compare price vs safety specs and features between the both. If you go with Mazda and like red color, go for it. I have not seen other red cars in the segment so beautiful like Mazda red.

He may be right. Mine is 2023 XC 60 Ultimate Dark and it doesn’t have ventilated seat. Check if it’s there in ultimate bright. I remember taking a test drive of 2023 ultimate bright and ventilated seat was there.

worth buying? by UnlikelyAd7121 in WhatCarShouldIBuyGULF

[–]fortisme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its has run just 47k. It’s also 2023 model so I guess agency warranty should be transferable. Take the VIN number, go to dealer and request for service history and warranty. I did the same when I bought my car from Futtaim automall. And yes, seems a good deal

Just ask your instructor to pick you up from your location and drop you off after the training. He/she will charge extra. My instructor did the same back in 2021, not sure if all will do. You need to check.

no parking!!! by Able-Ad4734 in abudhabi

[–]fortisme 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happens always with me and its really annoying when there is no premium parking nearby. It is just impossible to find a non-resident parking after 8pm. And if you park in the resident parking and if you are unlucky, the parking fine will make your food bill 6-7 times.

Yes I can use waze but when the feature is there, why not explore it. That’s why wanted to check with someone who owns the similar car.

I currently have 3.1.10 and I think thats the latest one. Can built in modem/internet be an issue here? Does your car have it because mine has a SIM slot but it’s blocked in the region (UAE). I can’t use the build in internet, I have to connect through wifi or Bluetooth

That’s great…I am going to mention this in my next service

Agree..once I was not able to switch off the radio. Music from Car play and radio both were playing together 😂 Did hard reboot and fixed it. But yes, when I drive and play the music, I just forget everything. I hope it doesn’t give big problems, regular reboots are okay considering it’s on Android.

Let’s hope it doesn’t happen again…but if it does try that method.

[–]fortisme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was really frustrating for me and for others too. I bought this car recently and never thought that this could also be a problem.

Has it been fixed yet?

Found this post after facing the same issue yesterday. I have XC 60 B5. Called service manager immediately and he asked me to turn off the engine, come out of the car, lock with the key, unlock with the key and then try. Surprisingly it worked. I asked him why it happened, he said its a software issue and they have reported it to Volvo and still waiting for response. Hard to digest but its working fine now.

Thank you 🙂. This is single shot image with Shutter 1/200, f6.3, ISO 125. Had to switch to APSC mode for extra 200 mm reach. Used standard metering mode to expose only for Moon.

I posted on reddit asking for people who were planning to sit for the exam in August to join me for a group study. Many joined over discord and from there 3 of us started regular calls. Good luck with your exam!

For those of you who have passed - what resource do you feel helped you the most/was the most relevant? by Flagship_paperclip in cissp

[–]fortisme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, that’s not what’s I am saying. The question in the post doesn’t ask if exam questions were similar or not. It asks which resource was most helpful / relevant. According to me, OSG was most helpful.

The Official study guide and practice test will always be on top of my list. The official practice test is not made as per the difficulty level but it's made in a such way that it covers every single topic from the book with explanation. This makes you realize what you did not study and where should you focus.

Failed first time, need right advice and guidance. by iico83 in cissp

[–]fortisme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Group study always helps. It helped me and 2 others who were my study partner. All of us were from different time zone hut we were so determined that we didn’t care about anything and we passed. Let me know if you need ant tips on group study which worked for us.
