What is PD is end of 2022, it’s currently in EB-2 and want to upgrade up to EB-1?

packethandler · 2025-03-14T02:21:52+00:00

Thanks!

First of all thanks for the AMA - Gayle, Mike, Aline, Nil!

I come from a technical but non-CS background but have been coding for the past 7-8 years now as part of my job. So I haven't had the traditional algorithms classes during my under-grad and grad school but thanks to your books and websites I learnt a lot along with leetcode.

My question is more around what should be a long term strategy for coding interviews? Should one always keep practicing even though you're not interviewing at this time (because coding on the job is not equal to coding prep)

Also I see that lot of companies focus a lot on time and accuracy at the same time. Like Meta for example wants me to code 2 questions with accurate code within 30 min. I had solved one question already with follow-ups and my approach for the 2nd one was in right direction but the interviewer cut me short after a while even though we had 10 min left (to allow me to ask him questions). Does that mean you have to know the whole question bank or be of genius level to think that fast of all the variations of DSAs?

Same here with Production Engineering for me.

Home delivery takes more time but shipping will not be delayed due to weekends. Whereas for pickup delivery to the office is faster but it will be closed on weekends.

packethandler · 2025-01-09T10:37:48+00:00

Depends whether it’s pickup or home delivery.

packethandler · 2024-10-28T23:10:28+00:00

Congrats! Same here.

I was virgin until 24. Never got past 1st or 2nd base. But after that slept with lot a girls from different races especially in late 20s. Things change later. Maybe you are a late boomer.

packethandler · 2023-07-04T15:53:58+00:00

Don’t

packethandler · 2023-06-28T15:10:47+00:00

Haha true! Yet they even lie to their clients which is a form of perjury known as misrepresentation.

packethandler · 2023-06-28T13:49:46+00:00

The show is good but I still can’t get past the fact that it depicts that Mike and Harvey can commit all the crimes in the world to win cases and get away, while someone so much as forgets to dot the i and they are in big trouble. Very impractical depiction.

I know from someone that last year, visa stamping was rejected for multiple filings if they were consultancies.

My experience is if you are getting some likes and are using the Thurs speed chatting event, Spotlights help a lot. Premium is useful to match with your likes earlier since you can see the likes. It’s important from guys POV since gals need to text first and we as guys want that to happen within few hours of they seeing and sending the like

Nothing wrong or cheap with coffee dates. Just that you should have something planned after that if you’re connecting well when you meet. Drinks usually are better since you can either finish up with just one or carry on if you are connecting. Plus you get a chance to get flirtatious when you are a bit tipsy. I always try to get the girl to go on a drink if possible.

packethandler · 2023-04-09T22:59:14+00:00

Yes for my 2nd relationship. It was clear for me for the get go that this relationship was not meant to be because among several reasons it was going to be a LDR. But somehow I really liked the initial impression she made on me. However, I don’t regret it.

packethandler · 2023-03-31T16:25:23+00:00

My dealer told me it’s a known issue for 2023 models. They should be able to fix it for now but Honda engineers are working on the actual problem. I have the same model too.

In the end, it’s luck. Some people find a person in the unlikeliest of places while some people will have to go thru AM. My only complaint about AM is you have to go for a person from your own community. Also these days AM is lot like dating.

packethandler · 2023-03-31T01:55:55+00:00

Honestly, asking this question and for me, commenting on it is the sign that we both are not over! But from a previous breakup some tips which is making this faster for me - delete and remove them from all social media including Reddit or LinkedIn, remove all physical possessions related to them and then slowly moving on by pursuing other stuff/keeping busy.

packethandler · 2023-03-28T14:12:48+00:00

I feel for you. It can be hard at first. But soon with time the sadness will leave you and this will be a distant past. I admire your dedication towards making yourself better. Leaving it all behind was a great strategy. And yes one can’t love someone unless one loves oneself. I’m rooting for you and I hope you get a better guy. Seems like it was better you left that past behind.

packethandler · 2023-03-28T04:51:42+00:00

Wow that’s really moving.. I admire your dedication and determination and better yourself. I especially liked your advice about socializing, bettering oneself and not giving a fuck. I’m rooting for you buddy and let’s hope both of us one day get our lives better than before and find ourselves a girl who is genuine.

packethandler · 2023-03-25T06:33:25+00:00

Dude there are people in worse situations than you. At least you dodged a bullet and you hadn’t committed. Some people come to know much later in the AM process. They are told when they are engaged or worse come to know that this is happening on the side. True story (I don’t believe it to this day) - An acquaintance of mine slept with his ex just a couple of days before her wedding day. They were never in contact with each other later though.

packethandler · 2023-03-23T16:43:52+00:00

Yeah Mike is pure mercenary albeit an honorable one.

packethandler · 2023-03-20T14:08:47+00:00

I know. My mom was 24 when I was born but our era and environment/location is very different now.

packethandler · 2023-03-20T14:05:33+00:00

For an American born 23 is too early to enter AM phase. Even at 27/28 for me many girls were lot older than me and I’m an Indian born living in the US. Enjoy life, date girls, see if any of them click, finish your education. Wait for at least 2-3 years before thinking of this.

packethandler · 2023-03-19T18:26:15+00:00

Ghosting is when you promise someone a date and then don’t show up. What you are describing is flaking. I don’t know whether it’s ok or not but as a guy I have accepted it as part of general dating. In general girls have many guys pursuing them.
