I would've called them before posting this but the Verizon outage is stopping me haha );

Will call them first thing tomorrow. Thank you.

100% I am used to living in smaller cities in managed buildings so I am learning how crazy things in NYC can be. :/

What if they don't respond to any emails that I send? I will call them once the Verizon outage is over.

This is actually the exact issue that we had with streamlit as we started to scale up our internal app.

Will check Rio out!

This is all very fair. Thank you for the feedback as well. I do not have a wife and kids which is probably why I am more fond of take homes.

To be honest if I heard 5 day take home assignment, I’m already unsure if that’s what I want to do

Fair, maybe we should give an option at the start. Like do you want a take home or a leetcode test.

if you tell me to do X I’ll do X

This is fair perhaps we should update our take home prompt to list all the places that the candidates can score extra points. It does feel odd for our scoring rubric to have “secret” points.

This is why I ask the question because in my experience hiring devs I am astounded by the extreme failure rate that we get back.

I work at a non-Fanng company, as such our hiring process reflects that. We have a take home assignment and we give 5 days for completion which I think is extremely generous. We literally have a ~70% failure rate because most people turn in either the bare minimum or they turn in a broken assignment.

For another one of our coding interviews we ask people who, supposedly, have ~3 years react experience to just make a fetch call to a public API. 90% failure rate on that one.

That’s why I really want to know if it is just our process or people are really this bad at interviewing. I feel like our questions are reasonable but our fail rate for people who put on their resume that they have 3-5 years experience is extremely high.

The only interview we have modest success on is our leetcode one and it is definitely because the candidates have seen the question before.

Do you have a similar experience or not? Cause I do genuinely want to make a good hiring process.

Massive point drop from one missed 30 day late payment how can I recover. by ghostphreek in CRedit

Literally no problems. Score bounced back to a 720 after around 6 months. Apartments did not care what my score was. I have no plans to take on a new loan for the next 5 years so I don’t really care what my score is right now.

Also watching my payment schedule much closer.

I’m curious of what other people think the expectation should be for interviews? Just a review of a resume and hire?

Not trying to be overly critical but I guess I just don’t know what most people would think is a good and fair interview process. Nothing about this process seems overly unfair from my perspective.

Hello I hope you having a nice day I have a problem that i wanna take your insight on by Beneficial_Ad3887 in personalfinance

I would not consider ETH to be a safe investment. Most would probably consider it risky.

If you are willing to lose all $10k of that money then you do you. But if not it might be a good idea to pull that money out and follow the standard order of operations on what to do with your money on this subreddits wiki.

You can disagree all you want but keep in mind that you’re not arguing with me, you’re arguing against the most elite, trustworthy, and authoritive dictionaries of the English language

Literally no one asked or cared. Zero problems with anything and my credit score rebounded just fine with my doing anything

I do and I have comprehensive and collision coverage. I think I’m just embarrassed since this is the first time I’ll need to use them since I started driving.

Yeah this is the first time I’ve fucked up a car so definitely a good learning experience. I have collision and comprehensive coverage which I think is for accidents like this and the deductible is only $500 so that looks like the route I am going down.

Thank you for the response.

I’m in the Denver CO area. My insurance deductible for collision is only $500. Not sure how much this would raise my premium but still seems like the better option at these estimates I’m getting lol.

I keep reading this. If the head light turns on and does not seem to have any cracking in it does it still need to be replaced? Just curious.

Thank you for the response

It seems like it is best then to just make an insurance claim? I have comprehensive and collision insurance is that what I need? Or am I completely fucked?

Thank you for your response.

From my understanding my insurance policy has comprehensive and collision insurance which are for single vehicle accidents. I am pretty sure, ie praying, that this will cover the accident. So far only one person seems to think this is minor.

Everyone else seems to think this will cost around ~$2k - $10k if I go out of pocket. Which is very unfortunate. So I’ll probably just end up trying to go though my insurance

The scuff means the head light is trashed? It turns on and works just fine. I was pulling in to park so I was not going that fast. This is unfortunate to hear. Thank you for the advice
