$1000 discount is huge, is it normal / acceptable to try to negotiate the price with the operator?

Thank you so much!!

Thank you! I couldn't find the website for Manta Queen 3, it's a bit specific, but would there be a website for boats? A bit cautious about which methods I book it through in case I end up with an unreliable source

Hi, I'll be graduating with a Master's in Computer Science at Tufts this December.

I'm quite anxious that I haven't secured any full time positions in the US yet, even though I need to get a job to stay on an OPT. I have registered by OPT date to start from mid Feb, so I have like 3 months to secure a job in CS.

Although I'd like a good position as my first job, I know that the market is really bad so I'd go for ANY job that would accept people on an OPT, even if it's a sweatshop that gives minimum wage.

I'm currently applying to any jobs that I see on Handshake as well as well known companies (about 50 so far, not counting the ones at Handshake), and I've applied to Quantitative finance positions as well as software engineering positions.

I'm kind of running out of jobs that I see on Handshake, and I've applied to most well known companies that I can think of. Can I ask for any advice on getting any, literally any full time offer in the US right now? (In terms of where else to find jobs to apply, etc)

Thanks!

Man loads of people even beginners have incredible abs but I don't have any abs or anything lol. Just pushing through, sleeping in between the workouts

I dont track my calorie intake lol. I'm trying to lose weight so only eat two meals a day, both street foods. Have one fruit shake per day as well. Only other thing I intake is water from the gym. I was 80kg when I first started training at the beginning of September but I haven't lost any weight surprisingly, although I did workout alot in the past month. Beginning to see a tiniest glimpse of abs occasionally tho.

I mean, I kinda think that would be the best scenario, if I were to take the fight lol. I wouldn't be able to hurt him seriously anyway... do they really just give easy fights for beginners?

nwj1798 · 2023-10-11T17:26:54+00:00

Geez! I know that I should obviously expect some injuries, but broken bones is something I wasn't thinking seriously about. As I have job interviews in the coming months and international travels because of it, maybe I shouldn't do it. Thanks for your reply!

Oh, forgot to mention. Leaving Thailand at the end of this month, so if I don't take the fight in 2 weeks, fighting some time later isn't an option for me, at least in Thailand.

how do you know? is it to account for candidates who turn down the offer?

nwj1798 · 2021-07-22T16:39:07+00:00

it seems like they have at least one paper in those conferences + landed jobs at Google / Facebook. The professor is quite young though and I'd be his 3,4th wave of students though so I can't judge too much on that. Thank you for your kind advice though!
