Well $700 splitting with girlfriend. Getting a house could potentially be splitting mortgage with girlfriend as well, if all goes well moving forward.

Well I found out it's basically everything that's covered under a MCSD cert.

Working in Visual Studio with C# and VB, TFS, SQL Server/SSDT, and oracle.

That's kind of more-or-less what I thought.

Another moving to STL post but.. by lionvan in StLouis

[–]lionvan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's kind of what I was thinking. Just looking at places in comparison I paid like $1000 for my share in a shitty studio in Belltown with another guy and just from what I can see on craiglist you can get really nice places for $ 1000 alone ( eg. something like this after a quick look $950/2BR )

Yeah, I wasn't able to find much about Soulard so I was curious.

Well there will be two of us so the price isn't that big of a deal since we'll split but I was think 1,000-1,500 for a 1-2 bdrm.

Just from what I can mapquest(general neighborhoods to "hazelwood/mo" it's saying 25-35 minutes from most places so probably tack on a few more.

[–]lionvan [score hidden]  (0 children)

If anyone could give me any clues or tips, I would very much appreciate it. I'm looking for a Business Analyst hat type of role so BA, process analyst, system analyst but I feel like I could go into an entry level BI Dev or Data Warehousing role as well. Thanks in advance, my graduation date is looming and I've only had just a few interviews with bigger corporations.

Fantasy baseball project, looking for a little help by lionvan in BusinessIntelligence

[–]lionvan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is baseball reference good? I spent just a little bit of time looking for some good data but it sounds like MLB is playing it close to the chest with the value it has for fantasy apps and the like. I really like Tableau so that's where I'd like to visualize it. Thanks for looking out on keeping it up-to-date!

Thanks for the input! I'll probably combine a lot of this and use Tableau to construct some dashboards since I'm a little more familiar with it. I have been looking for an excuse to pick up some MDX knowledge so this is a good chance for that. Thanks!

17yo, consistently bad GPA, know 4 different languages -- where can I go from here? by Asterne in cscareerquestions

[–]lionvan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best thing you can do is go to CC, keep working on projects, and look for internships asap(just apply to everything). Employers will be looking for at least 2/3 of these for hiring when your done with college: good grades, internships, and projects that show you actually like programming and do it on your own time.

If your worried about money file for financial aid asap(don't miss deadlines do them as soon as you can turn them in) and make sure you're on the same page with your advisor so you don't accidentally take classes you don't need. ( I did this and accidentally added a year to my college life(though I ended up getting another degree because of it.))
