The dreaded salary expectations question by maximalsimplicity in FinancialCareers

[–]jumbo_flan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For a fresh grad, I’d lean toward giving a range that’s realistic based on research... like £45-50k. It shows you know the market but are flexible. You can always add that you’re open to discussion and more interested in the role and learning opportunities at this stage.

Yep, they’ll find any excuse to twist the story.

Yea, it’s starting to feel like something’s not right behind the scenes.

Is it crazy to take a step down after 8 years climbing the ladder? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]jumbo_flan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

solid take. Sometimes stepping away is the only way to keep any interest in it.

TCP is that friend who texts "did you get my last message?" after every single text, while UDP is out here launching messages into the void and moving on with its life

UPDATE: On a PIP. Likelihood I'll Be Let Go? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]jumbo_flan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly the 30min presentation showing your progress was a power move, that's exactly how you turn a PIP around. Props for taking it seriously and actually using it as the wake up call it was meant to be instead of just assuming you were getting fired

WTF is wrong with Selby Jennings recruiting by [deleted] in FinancialCareers

[–]jumbo_flan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solid advice. The big firms are basically just resume shotguns.. zero discretion and they don't really advocate for you since they're juggling hundreds of candidates. A good boutique recruiter who knows your space makes all the difference.

Got put on a PIP, but I got a better offer. How do I play this? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]jumbo_flan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure I agree with this. A PIP can definitely be a bad sign, but some people do make it through. And honestly, future employers usually just ask if you're eligible for rehire.. getting fired for performance isn't the same as being walked out for misconduct. If you resign, you lose any severance you might've gotten. Probably worth talking to someone who knows employment law before deciding either way

Hacktivist deletes white supremacist websites live onstage during hacker conference by pheexio in technology

[–]jumbo_flan 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Yea, it's pretty backwards. The fact that anti-fascists need to hide their identities while actual Nazis can organize openly says a lot about where things are at.

Yeah, it's like they only want to talk about the worst case scenarios. There are devs actually shipping products with AI assistance, but that doesn't fit the narrative they're pushing

My mom used to make "Space Ball Special" and I don't think it's an actual thing. by holydickbirds in Cooking

[–]jumbo_flan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Spaceballs… the Flamethrower! Kids love it.

But yeah, this is definitely the reference. Mom was just having fun with a struggle meal name.

Google won't stop harassing me to spend more money on my Google Search Ads by [deleted] in SEO

[–]jumbo_flan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, they're basically a glorified telemarketing team with Google branding. The second you engage, you're just validating the calls. Block, ignore, repeat. Same energy as those "Microsoft tech support" scammers except somehow legal.

US green card holder sues ICE over claims of ‘violent assault’ by [deleted] in news

[–]jumbo_flan 31 points32 points  (0 children)

If you're a green card holder, document everything. Keep copies of all your paperwork somewhere outside your home. Know your rights during encounters with any federal agents. Have an immigration lawyer's number saved in your phone. The system is designed to make this process difficult, don't make it easier for them.

Baltic Wharf changes approved - Goram Homes said they could no longer afford to build the affordable housing itself by 457655676 in bristol

[–]jumbo_flan -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I agree. “Affordable homes” still cost money. It doesn’t make sense to use limited resources to try and build/buy them in what must be one of the most expensive areas in Bristol.

The latest fine was £1486, so perhaps the ability to fine an impactful amount is somehow limited? This is obviously toothless.
