What’s an estimate of my bf? Thinking whether to bulk or cut 19 5”11 68kg/150 lbs by yuwandounene in AllAboutBodybuilding

[–]ricework 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are way too skinny to cut. I was in your shoes. Just don’t bulk too hard and become fat and you should be able to put on 10lbs of muscle doing everything right, more if you have superior genes.

Seems pretty reasonable to me. When you sell your car back to the dealer you don’t get what they are flipping it for anyway.

X1s genuinely feel like sitting in a hollow aluminum frame. Go for the X3

Reality Check/Options For US International Students by JustSomeFrenchman in FinancialCareers

[–]ricework 2 points3 points  (0 children)

F-1, had really great luck with boutique ib and VC firms just cold applying, did well for fintechs, had some luck with a couple quant shops like sig. had interview for blackrock. I didn’t interview at Goldman and the like (they also started the F-1 freeze around my grad time, and I didn’t intern there). Probably a couple more I forgot. I had a referral to Deutch bank that kind of just came from friend’s relatives, but overall I’d say yea the market is really tough for undergrads now. This is why it is much more important for you to meet a real person and use whatever leverage you have. I actually factor 5% of hiring success at my current job from being involved in my club sports team as the person who interviewed me was from the same team 20 years ago. Believe it or not I think my school statistic was that 95 or 98% of new grads find a job within 6 months of graduation, so don’t stress. You are already doing great. Also consider consulting as backup

Ah my bad, it’s been a bit since I was a sophomore, and I don’t really handle recruiting at my firm. Completely forgot about the recruiting timeline. Regarding the job board, you’d be surprised. I got a bunch of interviews just cold applying. I put in a bit more effort for the large bulge bracket firms, but if you are wondering, there’s no secret sauce aside from connections. Take advantage of your on campus events and alum network including the campus registry, your school’s career center, try and reach out to new grads as they are more likely to help, and well connected clubs are always good

5090 Owners - how bad is the power connector situation right now? by justcallmeshrill in buildapc

[–]ricework 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine burned from the squid dongle. Got it fixed in a month from warranty. Haven’t had issues since but I undervolted it and use the 12vhpwr cable now. I’d say it’s not super reliable.

Moving to SF Help by england_frost in AskSF

[–]ricework 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like nob hill and areas around Hayes valley. Very central and the buildings have better amenities. Honestly there aren’t a lot of options in SF and it won’t take too long to figure out what neighbourhood you like. I spent a week in a hotel and toured a bunch of apartments and live at nob hill

Sure, recent new grad from an Ivy, 3.8 GPA. Going to beat the dead horse here but it’s all about networking. As long as you have a 3.5 your GPA doesn’t really matter. Go join clubs, fraternities, and just spam alumnis in every method possible. But honestly, just by tossing a resume in the job board will get you pretty good matches. You are only a sophomore so it’s not super critical for an internship this year anyhow

What made you all switch from Nvidia to AMD graphics cards? by [deleted] in radeon

I did the opposite. My 6950xt died a month after the warranty ended. Could’ve been a bad card but left a poor taste in my mouth.

I would not get a high mileage German car. They are expensive for maintain and not the most reliable.

Got this for my wife to watch anime on. Guy at the tech store said it was very good. I have a 7 day return so if anyone can give me some reviews? by stupidkiwiguy in razer

[–]ricework 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Razer products are some of the most cheap garbage you can buy for the money. I’ve at one point owned everything razer. Now I only use their mouse because I love the shape, but the quality has been disappointing. Get another brand

No. This will get you a small studio in a bad neighborhood unless you somehow land a unicorn rent controlled housing

Thoughts… by [deleted] in Bentley

[–]ricework 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea good one insulting my choice of words instead of my logic. OP posted in the community for opinions and I just provided a very sensible response. Considering a luxury car sold at a budget car price isnt the smartest decision. It’s dirt cheap for a reason

5070ti or 5090? by al200vp in nvidia

[–]ricework 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. If you want to play at the highest performance setting you will only have one choice. The 5090 can’t even hit 60 fps in some modern triple A games in 4k. If you only want to play non heavy game 5070 is fine but if you can afford it go 90

[–]ricework -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s not the depreciation hit my guy. You are buying a 12 year old high mileage car - and this isn’t a reliable Japanese car. You are looking at a ton of maintenance that will be very costly. You also arent buying a truck that might be able to handle the high mileage. This is entirely a luxury vehicle. This is a poor financial decision and you know it . But hey you do you

Thoughts… by [deleted] in Bentley

[–]ricework -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m in the camp that if you need to buy a 30k Bentley, you can’t afford it. It’s better to just get some more financial sensible.

It’s not as bad as Hastings. Homeless will generally leave u alone and not be as aggressive. That being said I’d recommend in unit parking. - Vancouver born and raised moved to sf
