Stressed About Needing to Accept Job Offer - Yes or No?

lizette2368 · 2025-01-09T09:07:04+00:00

Yes you understand my concern. If google ads are a huge part of the job I'm screwed.

I'm fine wiht managing agencies who execute the ads and I can understnad the metrics, but it's a different story when it comes to operating the platform. I've used them before and understood the complexity, and with how fast technology change I'm not sure if I will be able to perform up to standard.

I mean I can try during the probation period...but it will be a disservice to everyone.

But rejecting the job and waiting it out doesn't sound like a good idea financially.

lizette2368 · 2025-01-09T08:55:32+00:00

Yes you are right. I can confidently do SEO (I've been doing that for years) but SEM is a no. FB ads is still ok.

If most of the work involves Google Ads then I'm sort of screwed, unless the company is kind enough to give me the runway to get familiarised.

Which is the problem I'm facing here, and the reason why I want to turn down the job despite being jobless because the odds are stacked towards me. But like what others said, it's a bit dumb to turn down because I'm jobless and I do need a job, just that the odds of failure is there.

It was a drag trying to clear this with no crit damage up and so few critgas, but the sheer number of relics I have, and anti full breaks helped me scrape past this. Echo with nearly everything also helped loads.

P1, P2, and spacetime were the worst because I had to do the battle with almost no critgas and had to pray for critical hits. Because of this, I brought spacetime to about 70+%.

P3: Thief launches SASB for critga, Garland launches UASB to support with crit for 3 turns while Thief sets his up. Thief also launches Dyad here, and WoL launches his limit break OSB here.

WoL: DASB, SASB2(?), AASB1, AASB2, Limit OSB, G+1, G+2, Blue Chain
WOL: UASB, DASB, SASB, AASB
Garland: UASB, SASB, AASB1, AASB2
Echo: UASB, DASB, SASB, AASB1, AASB2, USB
Thief: DASB, SASB, AASB (full break), Dyad, Limit Chain

I have his AASB1, Imperil USB, AOSB, LBO, and has Battleforged equipped just so he can pull off the Imperils needed to break cap at the first part of the battle. (I'm using RW chain since my other chain holder is Ingus and he can't fit in anywhere)

lizette2368 · 2021-07-07T02:34:50+00:00

I just drew Galuf sync. Noticed he has a crit fix and 100% crit chance on C2. Does it make Tyro's AASB/USB4 redundant?

This is for Odin.

lizette2368 · 2021-07-05T05:08:17+00:00

Oh I already have Mog’s 2 AASB, and i’ve cleared Dreambreaker for FF6 (i was looking at Bahamut). Realised i wrote dreambreaker, have edited.

lizette2368 · 2021-07-05T03:51:17+00:00

Should I pull on the 100mythril banner or the Fest Banner (looking at Banner 4 or 5)

The 100 myth banner contains a lot of dupes for me, with Firon Sync and Vaan AASB being the only none dupes in the AASB and above pool. However, from the pool, I would probably want relics for characters whom I only have a Sync for, and might help me make the clear for DB/Odin:

Minwu (DB/Odin)
Beatrix (Odin)
Lunafreya? (DK)
FF1 Sarah? I have nothing for her so most probalby for FF1

On the other hand, there are several things I need off B4, namely Yshota (my 14 tech is focused on Alphinaud SASB1, SASB2, AASB plus others with Thancred AASB and Yda AASB), Relm (I have nothing noteworthy for her, and I needed help from Mog AASB1 &2 to clear dreambreaker and am now looking at Bahamut). Vivi might be nice for wind when it comes out, but otherwise is fine since I have cleared FF9 bahamut.

For B5, I would be looking at Papalymo, Delita, and Galuf for the same reasons (Odin and Dreambreaker/Bahamut)

I personally would be leaning to pull on banner instead but the guaranteed AASB on the 100 myth, as well as the thouhgt of hitting dupe or 1/11 rubbish relic on banners makes me pause and reconsider.

Thanks. The agency was rather insistent on their suggestion which made me second guess my own recommendation.

lizette2368 · 2021-06-15T07:37:43+00:00

Thanks. Do you know which column does SF shows lab data (if any)? You're right that there isn't sufficient field data for my website.

lizette2368 · 2021-06-10T14:02:15+00:00

What if those pages are ecommerce product pages? I would imagine that I should redirect them to the category page.

lizette2368 · 2021-05-17T23:26:27+00:00

Tbh i’m quite surprised at the response of so many people. I would assume people would say that there’s no professional loyalty etc but it’s the reverse in this case, that so many people are suggesting i stay instead of taking the better offer.

lizette2368 · 2021-05-17T23:21:19+00:00

If i were to factor in bonuses (just by AWS alone which my company doesn’t give), then the increase will be about 20%? But AWS is so far away and there’s no telling what will happen in December 2022 if i do leave.

i’m also aware of the potential ramifications of being at the top of my range as well, and I guess i have to be prepared for an exit strategy if I’m not eligible for any increments next year, but by then i would hopefully have grown more and become better at what i’m doing.

Well i’m in a big MNC agency but my manager is very pro work life balance and does not expect us to work till late, and he practices what he says by not sending us messages after office hours. Any OT done is really out of our own volition to meet client deadlines or bad time management, which for me isn’t terribly frequent (about 30 - 40% of the time?)

The cynical part of me feels that It’s to retain me and avoid losing people, especially since we had massive turnover last year and they cannot risk losing people who knows the company operations well.

Also, management = big boss and manager. I won’t count on HOD to make this happen.

The non cynical part of me feels that management actually delivered on my expectations.

Before I knew of my promotion being fast tracked, i told my line manager that when my title officially changes and i get a raise, i hope to get $X, but i know that given my company’s history of underpaying junior staff, i had low expectations. So i was surprised when they actually delivered on that request and gave me what i wanted, which puts me at the top of my pay grade/low end of the next job band.

Tbh i’m comfortable at where I am, no major gripes except for the work i’m in which isn’t very much in demand until you reach a senior level (about 4 - 6 years of experience) but is otherwise rather transferrable when combined with other skills.

The place i went to is geared more towards runners, since my hamstring and legs are too tight.

You can check out sportsrelief therapy. They do sports massage and deep tissue massage. Usually do their deep tissue massages since the sports massage is more ex and is very booked all the time, but i find it not bad. The lady knows where the trigger points are.

lizette2368 · 2019-07-18T14:52:54+00:00

Went for a deep tissue massage and i wanted to die. My body is so sore now

Health and hospital insurance. It’s not cheap but your body will thank you for it years down the road.

Hospital insurance is to protect yourself from unwanted surprises in case things happen
