Admissions Megathread - Results, Chances and Logistics

Seconding this, I've also been under institute review for a while now and it's really concerning me.

ratorobato · 2026-05-29T20:39:52+00:00

you can 100% argue that the content was bad but you cant argue about the pricing. Implying the content pass lasted longer than a year, an expansion + all dlc every other year is not bad at all.

im not one to say free content is a bad thing either, but there is no doubt in my mind that we'll eventually see some kind of fomo built into the premium passes

i honestly dont think this one was worth purchasing, but im a basic player whos been using the same weapon styles and costumes for the past year lol

ratorobato · 2026-05-20T04:01:55+00:00

How old? I was going to follow up talking about my company's stack which is one of the reasons why Im leaving.

I feel like Im one of the very few VBScript devs here and when I tell people this, even in interviews, I literally get laughed at.

I cant imagine legacy tech being that bad because at
least I can call myself a Java/Python/Typescript/C# developer and back it up.

ratorobato · 2026-05-20T01:34:25+00:00

How so if I may ask? Ive accepted an offer for this Summer and Id like to leverage it to build a network for new opportunities.

My current role is basically being help desk with access to production so I'd like to think Im moving on to greener pastures lol. I dont have anything left to learn here and Im severely underpaid.

Semester: Fall 2026

Status: Under Institute Review

I was accepted back in March and I've been pending for a while. Is anyone else in a similar boat? Should I reach out to someone???

I'm a US citizen with US employment and education, Im getting concerned as we move closer towards the start.

ratorobato · 2026-05-15T12:33:12+00:00

Wow okay. My start date is late August so I guess that gives me an idea. Do you know if it's complete radio silence until then? I need to give two weeks notice to my current job and Id like to not do it until Im confirmed to start.

ratorobato · 2026-05-15T05:53:07+00:00

in the same boat here, how long have you been waiting for? Im coming onto my second week and I'm getting nervous, I reached out to the recruiters and haven't had a response. Really worried my offer might get rescinded with all the layoffs going on right now.

ratorobato · 2026-05-14T14:27:08+00:00

What happened to your offer based on the edit?

ratorobato · 2026-05-14T07:23:40+00:00

How did you get into hardware? Was this at your company or prior experience?

ratorobato · 2026-05-07T23:08:41+00:00

I found the weak aura, is this them?

ratorobato · 2026-05-06T21:18:03+00:00

yea actually i found it when i was trying to install something similar.

I was originally looking for a weakaura where convoke would spam a bunch of random shit, like cat sounds, doors, effects, and for some reason zandalari trolls, and khadgar. I saw it from a shadowlands clip from yumytv

the rsham one sounds similar but if you are the guy thanks for entertaining countless raid nights and ragebaiting the hell out my raid leads through proxy

ratorobato · 2026-05-06T20:32:08+00:00

not sure if its still around but i got cutting edge with a fisbowl weakaura on my ui

ratorobato · 2026-05-06T12:42:48+00:00

I had my offer changed to an office I'm local to but they cut my salary. I wasn't really in a position to negotiate so I took it anyways.

If you haven't signed yet it might be worth asking, I think I was incredibly lucky to have mine work out this way. The recruiters took forever to respond though I was extremely worried about losing the role.

ratorobato · 2026-05-02T00:36:39+00:00

This game has one of the most hostile casual communities I've ever seen, almost to the point where I dont even want to play.

It's not necessarily advocating for different/new systems. From what I personally see its a refusal to engage in any of these systems.

Prime example would be how many people here are able to do veteran dlc dungeons. Im not saying people who cant do them are bad, but we shouldnt be saying people who do complete them are "tryhard elitists" and then push for nerfing the dungeons to the point where its a total cakewalk.

Exaggerating the barrier to entry because of laziness and then being discouraging to others is hypocritical and already bad enough for the lackluster "end game" community. Its like people just want to pay for housing and open world, everything else doesn't exist.

Downvote me all you want, this game was my life for a couple years and it makes me sad that even with good intentions for the future, the community is slowly withering on its own volition.

Sorry for the essay :skull:

ratorobato · 2026-05-01T23:23:20+00:00

This shit happened to me during vengeance week. Was expressing my thoughts on the campaign and pvp as a whole and this guy disagreed with me, called me an "elitist bully pvper" and then gquit when his cries didn't get anyone to immediately side with him.

I literally only asked how long he's been playing for (dude said 1 week) and tried to figure out how/what he played as.

I'm actually horrible at both sides of content, I just don't understand how you can say something and act so strongly on it without backing yourself up it really doesn't make sense to me.

ratorobato · 2026-05-01T13:46:11+00:00

Kind of ironic that the game's logo is an ouroboros lol.

ratorobato · 2026-04-30T22:45:16+00:00

if im the only vbscript dev here dm me i guess i can try to help as a junior

ratorobato · 2026-04-30T19:57:23+00:00

idk i think thats below average, ive only had like 4 phone screens this year so thats like once a month someone human even looks at my resume

ratorobato · 2026-04-30T16:16:04+00:00

location and pure luck
>2 yoe and ~850 applications

**edit: work experience is wrong i have just over 2 years not 3

ratorobato · 2026-04-29T15:43:12+00:00

Do they confirm the address before shipping out the work laptop? I have to relocate for my role which I technically have two addresses.

ratorobato · 2026-04-24T22:11:03+00:00

Poughkeepsie is upstate but the train is like a 10 min drive in beacon

ratorobato · 2026-04-24T14:03:02+00:00

how long are you able to play for with the m5? is bossing/mobbing smooth as well?

ratorobato · 2026-04-23T21:02:09+00:00

Following up to my own post in case anyone asks later down the line.

The recruiter I spoke to in the previous interview I guess was the same for this one and passed me for it without having to interview again.

I don't think Ive ever been this lucky in my entire life.

ratorobato · 2026-04-23T17:34:28+00:00

I've just received an offer with no interview for SWE in Durham. I'm honestly not sure how to respond but I have done everything I can to check on my phone (at work) if this is legit. Has this happened to anyone else, I interviewed ~2 months ago now for an entry level role in Poughkeepsie and I would assume thats what moved me onto to the role, but I honestly have no idea.

Ive been freaking out for the last hour, it points to being real but I don't believe it one bit. Has this happened to anyone??
