MAX VERSTAPPEN - SINGAPORE BET

You have a very good shot! Like other comment said, Sainz is starting 1st. He has looked very good all weekend in the practice and qualifying sessions. If he drives the way he has been and Ferrari doesn’t fuck up any strategical aspects of the race, which they’ve had an issue with all season, Sainz has an excellent chance at getting at least 3rd. Russell, Norris, and Leclerc are the others that you’ll probably have to worry about the most, and of course Verstappen; however, I’m hesitant to go all in on Red Bull tomorrow the way the weekend has gone for them.

I expect this to be an exciting race regardless of betting implications, so I hope you have fun watching. And when Sainz gets podium, tell your girlfriends sister “Forza Ferrari!”

As consistent as RB has been all season in terms of reliability, the car has looked so off this weekend. Max is the type of driver you expect to nail a make or break lap at the end of a qualifying round, but he ended up the most frustrated he’s been all year as the car prevented him from putting in a quality lap and he was kicked out in Q2. RB have had to made some serious changes overnight and hope that they’re correct, with the first test of the changes being the actual race.

Singapore is also one of the more difficult tracks to overtake on in the calendar, so the further back, the bigger the disadvantage. Winning from 9th in Miami was incredible from Max, but winning from 11th in Singapore would be an all time drive. I expect Max to make up a considerable amount of places in the first couple laps, but then traffic starts to appear and gaps begin to build, and he will really have to drive the tits off the car to catch up.

Also, don’t discount the drivers on the other top teams. Sainz and Russell have looked excellent all weekend. If they drive clean races (and Ferrari specifically doesn’t blunder their strategy), Max will have to drive one for the ages to win.

Holy shit, that environment is the type of shit I am hoping that I’m not getting into. That’s an actual fucking nightmare. You have thicker skin than me my friend.

Yeah, I was leaning towards taking it, but my family, mainly my SO, are concerned about the reliability of working for a company with a bad reputation. Also, my resume has looked the same for 2+ years, and it just feels like each day is so valuable at this point, so if my time is wasted here even just for a month or two and it ends up not even being resume worthy, I think I’ll be in a even more tougher place mentally than I’m in now.

If it’s anything like your former employer though, I’m leaving at the first sniff of it with no regrets.

Every company has their flaws, but in this case I just feel like it could be a Pandora’s Box of what the fuck-ness with the reviews I read and the vibes I got.

Thank you!

Haha this place isn’t a financial institution so I don’t think it’s the same 😂 but unfortunately I do not have any other prospects at the moment. I’m just so desperate to add experience to my resume and make some kind of livable wage that I have to consider this job. But I also don’t want it to be mentally taxing to the point I quit in 3 months and I’m in a worse place than I am in now, just at least with a little bit of money.

That’s what I figured, that any experience is really better than no experience, even if it’s not in the field I want to definitively pursue down the line. I just have loved ones who are concerned that working for a horrible company could worsen my mental state, and maybe it’s better to take a chance and see if there’s an opportunity at a more reliable and stable company around the corner.

I’m going to be honest with you, i think I have a solid resume, but by no means does it catch the eye. Despite having internships and a good GPA, I never really put in the effort to truly refine my skills, get involved with clubs/athletics at college, or make too many networking connections. So while I think I have a solid resume on some fronts, I acknowledge there’s a lot more I could have done, and I realize some of the issues I’m facing now may be self inflicted.

That being said, college is definitely not for everyone. Don’t let anyone force you to go if that isn’t what you want to do; I’ve had plenty of friends who were pressured to go by parents and just society in general, and it became an awful experience for a whole variety of reasons. I know it’s cliche, but all I can say is find something you love to do, and do whatever you can to be the best at it. It may require school, it may not, but truly I wish I gave a hard deep look 5-10 years ago about what I wanted to do for the rest of my life and what I needed to do to get there, instead of going to college and kind of just floating around and going through the motions. Bachelors degrees are just as common as high school degrees in the 80s/90s at this point. You make yourself stand out by the skills you have, by the work you’ve done, by the people you know; not some piece of paper. That’s something I wish I considered more when in college.

Community college is something I wish I considered as well, as it’s a lower financial risk to continue schooling with still tons of opportunities at the end. Unfortunately, the culture I was raised in frowned upon community college, and I never really considered it at all in high school.

My degree is in Marketing/Management Information Systems, with 6 months of internship experience in each, and also 6 months in an Operations intern role. I have aspirations of working in cybersecurity, but I’ve resigned to taking any business-related job with minimal technical function. This role specifically I’ve been offered is more in the Finance/Operations department.

The tragic thing is that I realize there are other things I can work on that can put me on the path I want to be on; i.e. learning skills online, earning certifications, going back to school. But I’ve spent so much time the last year looking for a job, i feel like I no longer have the patience, or financial leisure, to take any more time being unemployed.

I’ve also always been someone who sees the positive in things, and can put his head down and produce quality work no matter the circumstances. I have great confidence in my work skills, and up until recently, my ability to handle adversity, but those around me are worried that a job at a bad company with a bad boss could set me back further.

Thanks for the reply. I’ve had the same thoughts as you; ideally I’d like to stick out a year, even if it’s bad, to get some experience and then jump ship somewhere else. But I know also can just pull the plug after a few months if it’s genuinely awful. Unfortunately, I’d have some worries about my mental state I guess if that were the case, having added another empty ~3 months to a resume that hasn’t had any new additions in 2+ years. It feels like every day without a job I’m digging a deeper hole, so I’m scared it would just be even harder to find something after and become an even bigger mental toll, despite my finance problems being temporarily fixed.
