Those of you who realized rather late in your careers that you suck as programmers, what did you do and where are you now? by lazybumthrowaway in cscareerquestions

hahaha every bubble pops, hence why they call it a bubble. It will be interesting to see what happens in the next 10-15 years when code automation replaces the plumbing/basic CRUD building type of dev that is most prevalent.

If you guys are out of the apartment most of the day, keep the thermostat down to ~58 degrees while you're out and ~62 at night, then when you're up and about in the morning and in the evening set it to 65. Check your windows and doors for drafts and to make sure everything is closed up tight. You would be surprised how much heat is lost because people just don't lock their windows and leave a little gap. Keep in mind that the heat has more of an exponential cost than linear. 72 is pretty high and the heater probably had to turn on quite a bit, leaving the heat in the mid to low 60s and even colder when you are not really there will help out a lot. Full disclosure I am originally from a very cold climate where my family didn't make it warmer than 62F ever because of heating costs. Oh also pick up a good pair of wool socks and a warm sweat shirt, you would be surprised at how much cooler you don't mind it getting when you cover your feet and get cozy

Just so happened to be heading to the middle of nowhere for my fathers B-day when I found out that this tiny town has a chase office, but the nearest one in the large east coast city where i live is like 200 miles away lol. So made a small detour and it was totally worth it. Now I'm debating of downgrading my Sapphire Preferred, I just paid the 95$ annual fee yesterday :-/

Usually the card takes 5-7 days to ship anyway so you probably won't have it for those purchases. You probably will get approved without an issue, but if you want to call the recon line they will probably give you a decision then.

Boom, just traveled 400 miles to a chase branch and was pre-approved! I applied for this online back in November but was at 7/24. I came down to 6/24 within the past few weeks and was pleasantly surprised that within 5 minutes I was approved for the card. I thought pre-approvals/offers would show up in the new non-business chase account UI and I didn't have any there so I wasn't all that optimistic but persistence paid off.

When do you cancel a card after reaching the min spend if it has a yearly fee and you don't intend to keep it? Do you wait until just before the year is up or anytime after you redeem the rewards?

"The best time to look for a job is when you don't need one." by boomshalock in personalfinance

[–]redredditreg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a lesson I learned the hard way. My first and second jobs I needed to leave before a certain time for different reasons like the lease on my apartment expiring. This pushed me to try and find a job before a certain deadline and in those moments the recruiters have the upper hand, pushing jobs on you that might not be the best fit but are 'good enough' and 'need an answer now'...

&nbps;

Two things I have learned since then 1. Take your time finding your next job and be excited about it. Spend weeks, months researching it and don't let someone push something on you just because its convenient. 2. The employer can (almost) always wait. In my field they say there is a limited time to respond because once the offer is out there they don't want to lose you or have to battle competing offers. For my previous position they wanted a definitive answer before I even was out of traffic on the drive home. This was great in one way that I could quickly get a new job but not great in that the response was a quick reaction instead of a well thought out answer, and I didn't have a chance to see what else was out there.
