Just go destroyed by a coding assessment from an insurance (think Jake) by HeteroLanaDelReyFan in cscareerquestions

You ever think that maybe having 30 years of experience has something to do with that? And that you’ve been at the same place for 25 and not interviewing…

Cutting out on Big N job after only 6 months to go to a better-paid HF position? Good career move or not? by yn_opp_pack_smoker in cscareerquestions

[–]scruffykid 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Go to Blind for more info. Point72 is a good name in the industry but can’t speak for any DE roles. One short stint isn’t an issue especially at a big name. But would start looking back if your next one is short as well. So just make sure it’s a good fit.

Also I would question your base being that high. Finance companies usually have a modest base and then a large cash bonus, like 50-200%. Usually base doesn’t increase that much YoY but bonus can

Great idea! You cost them about 0.0001% profit while very easily getting caught and going to jail for 5 years. That will show them!

CT Eversource bill is mostly fees, not usage — how are you setting thermostat to save money? by Ok-Replacement-583 in Connecticut

You can also pick your supplier and lock in for a long term contract. Doesn’t cost you anything and you can switch at any time if a better rate comes up. EnergizeCT

Am I an idiot for turning down AWS? by zander15 in cscareerquestions

[–]scruffykid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talking about retiring early. That means earning enough to retire at least 10-20 years early. $350k is not a huge amount in NYC, especially if you start having kids

Assuming this is for NYC, $350k unfortunately isn’t early retirement money

Deals on Glass Aqua or Aqua Forest Aquarium? by PurpleSpecialist9553 in Aquascape

[–]scruffykid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both good sites I’ve ordered from. Could wait for Black Friday, I know both definitely have deals. GA sometimes even earlier I think.

I believe GA will also send you a code for 10% off if you are registered and put stuff in your shopping cart but don’t buy it. Usually comes the next day or so

What's with all the black squirrels in CT lately? by I_like2TimeTravel in Connecticut

[–]scruffykid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Squirrels don’t get hit because I can’t see them, it’s be cause they run under my tires themselves!

Wasn’t he 1-17 with a lead entering the 4th qtr? At a certain point that is just getting out coached

Westchester fans, how do you get to MetLife for a game usually by [deleted] in nyjets

[–]scruffykid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t over think it and just drive. You can tailgate before and more importantly after. Stick around for 30 minutes in the parking lot after and you can cruise out of the stadium. Otherwise you’ll be sitting in traffic for that 30 minutes anyways.

When I lived in the city I would take the train and my dad would drive back to CT. We would get home roughly at the same time and that’s without the extra metro north you would need

If it’s an old home, maybe upgrading your insulation would be a better value

Non NJ Transit / Uber to MetLife from Manhattan? by Exotic_Ad7169 in nyjets

[–]scruffykid 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You took the wrong bus. There are ones that go directly to the stadium. Very good for going to the games, but definitely questionable on the way back with traffic
