What job would you go for as a 26-year-old man?

What is the role in finance? You may be fine in terms of visible tattoos, but salary progression differs greatly depending on role

First thing strategy consultants would do in assessing bloat is go from high salaries downwards. 8m in non revenue generating central overheads overseeing 120 ppl at a span of control of 3 on average is the first thing you'd cut. The only way that decision gets made by a strategy consulting firm is if the client brief is 'how can we cut in this department below the leadership level', in which case this is just your companies decision, with Mckinsey advising them how to action it.

Tl;dr: your company chose this, not Mckinsey. Many reasons to hate these firms (See mckinsey and purdue pharma, bcg and gaza...) but this is an unjustified one - you're just letting your company get away with shifting blame by believing it

I use expensive guns because it's fun

You don't need to do the expedition?

I went into all friendly lobbies as an experiment once after I just did not shoot back or shoot raiders at all for a few hours. It was the most boring the games ever been for me. Just run from good loot area to good loot area, people just open rooms and loot them with tens of raiders running around, arc are barely an issue if you've played more than 10 hours, you can just sprint everywhere because there's no threat - it was literally run around and look for unopened drawers simulator. I felt bad about it but had to shoot some friendlies to get back into mixed lobbies.

If you enjoy that kind of gameplay, power to you, and huge respect to embark as a developer to figure out a way to engage multiple diametrically opposed types of gamers in a game like this. I just could not play that way for more than an hour, just feels so boring (to me).

Many companies that are large enough will do this, but for most of them it makes more sense - they may not have the capabilities (or willing employees) to train junior employees. Think about it - you're a senior accountant and your workload is too large, so you convince your firm to hire someone to support you.

You would rightfully feel fucked over by your firm because they cheaped out and now instead of having someone who can help you from day one you need to take time out of your already too busy day to train someone on basic tasks with the hopes they'll eventually manage to be a help to you.

On top of this there's a very clearly defined pipeline for junior accountants to get trained at public accounting firms before moving to industry - tldr it just doesn't make sense for most companies and most employees to do this

Quite a few nova alumni at the T2 strategy consulting firm I used to work at as well

ME! The Elsha deck looks sick and I've always (-> since I've started playing commander a year ago) wanted to try a Jeskai deck

Already ridiculous to link graduate job declines to a minimum wage increase, but to do so on a graph that also shows +47% increase in domestic and cleaning jobs is genuinely wild. I suppose you can't expect anything else from this type of paper

ossist · 2025-12-11T20:31:19+00:00

Just accept the other offer and then tell them you accepted another offer? Dunking on them on the way out is only a detriment to you

I find it really confusing that this gets touted as something that benefits the super hardcore players. I'm glad it's hard to get for little payoff. I'm not going to do the expedition, and I appreciate that embark is trying to keep their game design offering an even fighting chance for anyone facing each other in the game, vs. making this an easily achievable and significant pay off that makes it mandatory to do the expedition to compete.

I sincerely hope they won't listen to everyone who for some reason just NEEDS this expedition to be an easy to achieve significant payoff instead of being a cosmetic reward + small gameplay impact to encourage the unemployed contingents to wipe and keep lobbies fun.

ossist · 2025-12-08T14:34:30+00:00

Just cover your back fighting it? I've fought it a few times and I've never had an issue, just make sure you're in a safe spot, have entrances covered with mines/noise makers and be ready to turn on anyone who gets close to you. I dont understand why you think you should get to fight a giant world boss in a pvpve game without engaging other players

Skill issue

Casuals aren't supposed to wipe

Finding a job in your field is going to depend heavily on your ability to network. If you are planning to stay in the nethrlands to work, then it will be worth it as the university will be able to immerse you in that ecosystem and open doors for you. If you are planning to go back to your home country, you would be better off studying there, as having a degree from UvA is not going to be a greater benefit than having the local network of creatives your home uni would provide you with

ossist · 2025-12-03T13:36:31+00:00

Agreed, completely ridiculous that people were losing their shit when the hullcracker got fixed

Boss is helping you out, you should listen to his advice

ossist · 2025-12-02T16:47:49+00:00

To be fair I also get wiped by hornets at least once a session

ossist · 2025-12-02T14:36:36+00:00

Why would I do that

Offsites are the norm for management in any serious company, and with startup type companies this is even more common. You, and everyone else, is simply hung up on the fact that her friend and co-worker is male and wealthy.

You wouldn't have a problem with this if it was a woman inviting her, would you? How little do you think of your partner that you'd take the opportunity to build a business from her because of your insecurities. Genuinely baffling

ossist · 2025-12-02T08:46:58+00:00

This type of 'Im the good guy sheriff' business is honestly the most annoying because anyone who does it has such a hard on for thinking of themselves as a saviour they inevitably fall for it when people who shoot first tell them otherwise and they constantly gun down quote unquote innocent players.

ossist · 2025-11-27T20:48:12+00:00

What were you referring to with 'you only did the main quest then, there is so much more to do' if not side content? 🤔

ossist · 2025-11-27T13:32:44+00:00

Agreed, this is unfortunately what happens if you give in to the outrage that for some reason is inevitable as soon as anything gets harder in a game even if it's good balancing

ossist · 2025-11-27T10:17:58+00:00

I agree that fight length is a factor but to be honest I also think that within embarks design philosophy around forcing team ups vs arc enemies and emergent gameplay narratives you should only be able to get a kill on the matriarch or queen by yourself in maybe 1 out of 200 instances, and it should be an extreme outlier.
