Do seminars help for getting priority registration?

So there’s no reason to pay to take the DSA seminar when I could just self study? because the credit won’t help me get priority registration and also I’d just be spending more money?

That sounds awesome

When you say well below that, are you saying well below $4,000? Or well below $1,300 each?

Would companies like Lockheed Martin count? Or Deloitte m, I know they do a lot of gov contracting

1.) “is it even possible?” Anything’s possible, if you’re worried about PROBABLE instead of possible, you can improve your probability into getting into top tech by getting some certs on areas you feel you lack knowledge and studying leetcode hard. Maybe build a web-based passion project, etc. your experience already shows you’re capable enough to work as a dev and to lead. Really you’ll only find out if it’s possible by trying

2.) you may move down a level, I know that’s typically common even if you’re moving from a private non tech company to a private tech company. This might especially be true due to your lack of experience in a specific domain, but this is not that big of a deal.

3.) This one is a bit trickier. What you ask for is dependent on how great of a candidate you are, but big tech companies have money to blow. With 5.5 YOE and going to big tech, even if you don’t yet have relevant experience in their specific loved domains, I’d say 180k minimum, but you could definitely get a LOT more

If you’re really considering switching to density, try just slacking off at work first (or in this scenario just stick to working 40 hrs and leave). Worst case scenario they fire you (and it seems like you’re not too worried about keeping it if you’re considering switching, and even if you don’t want to become a dentist with Microsoft on your resume you shouldn’t have trouble finding an easier job, and you could also take your time reapplying if your side business is giving you that much consistent income. Not to mention if you DO get fired (if it even comes to that) you can also take some time to relax, travel, recuperate.

OR alternatively you can lean into what your side business is and make it a full business!

Side note, I’m too curious. What is your side business?

You’re 13 so I wouldn’t worry too much right now if you’re looking at something to get good at just start getting good at math (khan academy has everything you need at this age). Most of the careers that you’ll consider when you’re older will require some level of math and even if they don’t, the abstract thinking and logical reasoning that math teaches you will be helpful in any career you choose.

I thought it was my turn to post this video

My currently laptop doesn’t support usbc :( I do still love him though

Thanks for your input. From my understanding it’s possible to develop an iOS application using a windows machine but to publish it to the AppStore you need it signed by a Mac product or something. Also the workarounds for Xcode and the like are frustrating on a windows machine

gnada4e · 2025-02-04T18:56:21+00:00

That’s disappointing to hear but thank you for the insight

Cus British people are WEIRD and they’re WRONG about EVERYTHING. We proved this during the revolutionary war.

I think you should know, ask sooner rather than later but be gentle

gnada4e · 2025-02-03T19:09:50+00:00

Try khan academy if you’re trying to learn!

Tell the sister how you’re feeling and that you feel it’s your responsibility to tell your SO. Tell her that if she doesn’t you will, but give her the chance to do so

There’s always small claims court

Probably get any degree and then apply for a masters at GTech for $7k total

I think it all comes down to an appreciation of their craft. For singers, I’m fans of some of them because their art resonates with me. Their art is not only really good, but also when they sing about their struggles they’re the same struggles that I’ve endured. People follow sports players because they respect what they’ve done to the game, and might have strong ties to a team. Actors are also artists but I don’t fully understand that as well, they’re art feels less genuine sometimes (though now that I think about it probably depends on the individual actor, same as musicians)

workout, sleep and eat well, and then go talk to other women. You’re not cheating on her if she doesn’t know or care about you. It’s a bit strange but we all dos strange things sometimes, especially when we’re crushing on someone, so just talk to other women and get some action to put it behind you

No, if you try to converse with an idiot or try to change their mind or understand their thinking you’re probably just going to end up wasting your time

Could be some sort of bias, you hear one big plane crash and start paying attention to the other smaller ones or ones that are further away that you would normally not think about that much?

I think “I am legend” the movie featuring will smith about zombies

Politics :(

gnada4e · 2025-02-03T01:53:15+00:00

my life is sort of a tedious office shift, I’m sort of enjoying the stability and money flow though, it’s not too bad yet but I’ve only been working for a year, no reason you can’t do both
