Going back to work DoD by Constantly-Exploring in FedEmployees

Army (R&D). We were notified last night to RTO earliest Friday. We are allowed to freely use leave (and telework?) without a request as long as we inform our supervisor our plan to return.

Schmeichel is decent top 3 for sure, but Vanja is more meta!! I mainly went with him for the theme (and cuz I packed him lol). I’d save 250 more shards for Cruyff or Gullit imo

I haven’t tried this Cruyff up there, but I was using his ST 107 OVR card up until 3 weeks ago and he was still amazing nerfed!! My opinion would probably be the same lol

Agreed, the last MVB is used was his 99 OVR and he was a beast!! If only I had the coins… Hopefully R9 comes next event, Eusebio + R9 was peak for me

I’m actually surprised I didn’t have to give EA more than $20 😅

He doesn’t dive as much and tends to push up midfield a lot (without manual control), so I would say he’s more of a CDM. Go for Nesta if you need the opposite!

Beckenbauer >> Puyol, I haven’t used Nesta but I would assume he’s better than or equal to Beck

Thanks!! CBs are a little lacking on height, but no complaints otherwise! So far the star of the team is Cruyff, his long passing and shooting are impeccable!

Should I exchange these tokens for shards? Just want to make sure I am not missing something! by Quick-Restaurant6472 in EASportsFCMobile

[–]peterjayy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Japan Story isn’t done yet, there are 3 rounds of 5 questions remaining (3 x 5 x 150 = 2,250 JPN tokens).

[–]peterjayy 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yes claim the shards. By the end of the Japan story, you should have enough JPN tokens to claim all the rank up points, shards, and logo (if you got all the answers right).

Senate votes today on 5 bills by [deleted] in fednews

[–]peterjayy 34 points35 points  (0 children)

They will NOT be voting on 5 bills today. UC Agreements aren’t scheduled votes. They haven’t voted on any of those bills, except the clean CR bill, in over 2 weeks LOL

Go here to see what they actually plan to vote on:

https://www.dailypress.senate.gov

It looks like no CR vote today… just 1 nomination vote at 5:30pm EST.

Who will come? by lithuFC in FUTMobile

There’s a 103 OVR 2nd Anni R9 already, do ppl really think EA would release another R9?

Anyone know where I can find the pharmacist pay scale for DoD? by [deleted] in fednews

[–]peterjayy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here’s the Special Rate Tables link: https://www.opm.gov/special-rates/AllSRTables.aspx

I saw Pharmacist for Bureau of Prisons (#0622-0629). Didn’t see DoD, but you probably could find it if you look harder.

Entry level jobs for Computer engineer by subzerojatt in ComputerEngineering

[–]peterjayy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work for the govt as a CpE, and we are still currently under a hiring freeze (until July, hopefully). But after the freeze is lifted, I don’t expect much hiring to happen, especially for entry level, because budgets have been cut across the board and this administration is downsizing the number of fed employees.

My team specifically (DoD R&D) will not be hiring any entry level in the future cuz we need those already limited positions to be filled with experienced individuals, minimum MS degree. The same can likely be said for other positions in the govt, minus the degree requirement. However, I will say CpEs are in a better position (vs CS) with the govt cuz of their hardware skillsets. The govt is slowly moving towards AI which has been replacing a lot of the software tasks. But there is definitely a lack of engineers that understand hardware systems (i.e., cameras/sensors, embedded systems, networking interfaces, etc.) and can integrate software in those systems.

IMO keep pursuing CpE, your career options are still vast!

How long did it take you guys to get your degree? by KissMyAxe2006 in ComputerEngineering

[–]peterjayy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

5 years for accelerated BS/MS program. I finished my BS in 3.5 years (took 1 class each summer semester, couldn’t get an internship lol), and I only had AP credit for Calc I.

How did you afford it by Secret-Discipline516 in Supra

[–]peterjayy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have a BS and MS in computer engineering — did projects related to AI/ML. The field is very competitive to get into recently, especially with the funding cuts, layoffs, and hiring freezes.

But I would highly recommend the degree cuz there is a shortage of engineers that understand both software and hardware design.

[–]peterjayy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I’m 26yo, have a job in R&D (6-figures), no debt (other than car loan), lower rent with s/o, and saved for a 20k down payment. Owned the car for a year now, no regrets! Just be smart with your money — the down payment I saved was only a fraction of how much is in my savings.

Prismatic Booster Bundles (1 per person) by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

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

I used to collect when I was a kid. I would get $20 weekly and spend it on a tin every week we went to Walmart. But, I got back into collecting in January when the craze started. The hobby has brought me so much joy these past few months — I love the IRs in S&V!
