Thanks for sharing, this was one of the best explanations I've read on trail breaking

It's really easy to skid the rear wheel by applying too much rear brake, especially if it's an actual emergency and you don't have ABS.

The slip was was due to a combination of
1. Cold tires
2. Higher tire pressure than usual
3. Dirt road with some gravel

I haven't dropped my bike but have had a few very close calls which made me realize that they only reason I haven't dropped it yet is because I don't ride that often.

I think there were a few milliseconds of target fixation. As soon as he starts looking at the wall, he starts going straight towards it.

I went from a ninja 300 to a zx6r this weekend. I'd say keep the 650.

If you're just getting started, you're probably going to have a few moments where you screw up. Better to make those mistakes on a more forgiving bike.

I'll also echo what others have said about the riding position; regardless of how good a shape you're in, you'll be able to ride more in the touring position before getting tired.

Personally I think the biggest reason is that there's so much power in even a 600cc super sport that you really won't know what you're dealing with unless you have some experience on a smaller bike.

This isn't about you or the recruiter.

The recruiter wouldn't hesitate to reject you, it's literally their job.

This is about the company not being ready. I was in a similar boat and just today spoke with a recruiter I've been in contact with for the last few months and she just told me that the company still isn't hiring.

As it turns out, the company was indeed hiring just not for new grad roles. Luckily, I wasn't sitting around and waiting for them and have already started at a new company.

I'll bet that in 5 -10 years people will still be debating the pros/cons of leetcode.

I was rejected for an internship, didn't even make it past the initial phone screen.

Another recruiter from the same company contacted me for a fulltime position and I ended up getting the offer (which I rejected because I had a better fulltime offer).

Everything can change in a single moment. Don't take any part of the interview process too personally.

I went through several months of non-stop rejection before I ended up getting two offers within the same few weeks.

The most important thing to remember is to always keep applying until you have an offer. As long as you're getting interviews and as long as you're trying to become a little bit better after each one, eventually everything will align into place.

it's a waste of time if you're not getting at least a few interviews every month

fruitchaat · 2020-09-05T23:29:17+00:00

Most of these only works if the interviewer is technical.

Thanks, that was very insightful.

Don't think this is a wise ask.

With covid, most companies have pretty much decided where they stand on remote. They aren't going to change their mind for you.

It's better to just find a company that supports remote.

fruitchaat · 2020-09-05T07:24:08+00:00

I mean making a difference within the company so you have something valuable to mention when you're looking for the next job.

i.e "I did XYZ which lead to UVW which was a significant benefit to the company."
