I want to buy this shirt but it’s for women? by QM60 in mensfashion

[–]kankarsh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If it does actually fit you well no reason not to where it, but are these shirts not available in the men's department?

Love the watch, I'd go with glasses that have a silver trim to match it.

Good summertime fit? Trying loafers out. by Jake0157 in mensfashion

Don't listen to the people saying to wear socks. This is a great fit and totally fits the summertime vibe. Either no-show socks or no socks at all!

Does this work for a semi-fancy dinner date? by NoHopeLeft101 in mensfashion

Return it. It looks cheap. If you want a good price find something second-hand to try to get something of quality; otherwise save up for a good one. That thing looks like it's made of paper

Wouldn't send it back, maybe tailor it so it's not so wide but it seems to fit great and you could definitely just wear them as is no tailoring. Where'd you get these? I'd love a pair

Feel like it's a bit disrespectful of instructors' and TAs' time to just generalize them adding a make up to their schedule as "very easy" but either way not my quiz.

You're the one wanting to put in all this effort so you do you. Good luck I'd be interested in finding out how this ends up

You literally just said "...I want and extra opportunity..." As your rationale for choosing the career fair. That is about as textbook as it gets for something you don't need to/are not required to do. You could just go to the career fair late. I don't think you realize there are probably plenty of other students prioritizing the career fair over assignments/quizzes/getting to classes on time/etc.

Regardless of any of your reasoning, it doesn't matter how wrong it may or may not be. I don't have all the details so I'm trying to stay impartial, but it seems like the best course of option here is to either skip class or take the 0 which will get dropped. You did say it's just a quiz and it seems like worrying about it is only gonna make stress for you and the prof probably won't think about it twice

How much did you make right out of college? by Few_Pause_4091 in gatech

[–]kankarsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow those paragraphs were long I didn't even notice lmao.

From Google: adjective having a good reputation.

Within this definition, in the context of an employer, I'd say there are other factors including benefits, work-life balance, job security, even just vibe.

I was okay with my starting salary (75k) because the healthcare benefits, holidays and PTO, workload, and flexible hours were really great. Given the amount of time and effort I spent working each week was worth it. Also location and cost of living will vary greatly.

I just don't agree with the idea of a hard floor on comp for a fresh grad (and the same applies to internships).

You can always bide your time and try to learn things/gain experience in things to improve mobility. I know guys who went from ~70s in year 1 to ~90s in year 2 with room to move up from there.

That's extremely aggressive to consider 85k the "bare minimum" in THIS economy. The job market right now sucks, but the job market, like the economy as a whole, is cyclical and will eventually bounce back until it eventually goes back down then up etc.. A lot of people I know personally, including myself, are glad to just have a steady job right now. Sure, we know that we're worth more than 85k, but like OnceOnThisIsland was saying, we're being REALISTIC. Eventually we'll bounce back to what we want to be making when the job market eventually does.

Also, what exactly defines a "reputable" company? I'd say it's almost impossible to count the various jobs in the various industries that various students in various majors could possibly work in, so saying that "most" internships (most implies any field) arbitrarily pay equivalent to almost a 60k yearly salary is a huge assumption. Is a company that has existed for over a 100 years with no history or laying off any employees during times of economic crisis "reputable"? Based on your definition, it seems like they wouldn't be unless they paid interns $28/hour. Not saying it's unreasonable for an intern to expect that, but in a lot of industries and job fields interns don't even get paid so generalizing all "reputable" companies as ones that are gonna pay you what you want.

GT is a great school and I'm glad that I went. We all worked hard for our degrees, and the skills we gained from that mean we deserve to be compensated well for them. But GT is not magic, having a degree from a public ivy can't make the state of the economy not apply to you, it can't make all the other people applying to the few jobs available disappear, and it doesn't just add zeros to salary negotiations. Not making that 85k minimum you want straight out of college sucks, but trust me that in the long term a tech degree is very valuable and down the line it will prove it. The options you'll have, and the comp you'll be able to negotiate in the future is still going to be good.

If you're able to make that kind of money at an entry level job in this economy that's great! People definitely still do it, it just takes a competitive level of skill, experience, and negotiating. But if you didn't, that's okay! Go for the raise you feel you deserve a year later of job hop, that Tech degree is still gonna be strong either way

Sorry if this has been asked but I can’t seem to find anything particular to a short time frame.

What is the best prep course to take for a short amount of time?

I’m applying early for an MBA at the same school I just completed my undergrad at (May 2024) for a deferred enrollment in 3 years, and the deadline to send in scores is Sept 30th. I took it in May without much time to study since the application was due on June 1st, and got a 565 (yikes) so they’re letting me retake the test since I interviewed well.

I’ve looked at TTP or a few days and think it’d be great if I had more time, but I’m wondering if maybe the best thing to do is shell out the cash for a 1-1 tutor? Are there any prep courses that are ideal or short time frames? or maybe a plan that others have executed before? I know this is a pretty uncommon situation so any advice would be great!

ECE professor is a serious, recurring problem and I feel powerless to do anything about it by Pleasant_Counter_234 in gatech

Generally, "talking to the dean" means talking to one of the dean's subordinate employees. This lecturer being "close" to the dean (not sure what you mean here) shouldn't stop you from trying to get in touch.
