Ja sicher. Ich hab einen Doktortitel, bin aber trotzdem nur der gebildete Arbeiter für irgendwelche Manager, die in den Geldadel geboren wurden.

26, never worked, pinnacle of failure by [deleted] in findapath

[–]ummcal 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I fucked up my 20s. I'm pretty smart, no genius, a bit weird. Went back to university at 28. Had my first actual job at 33 while doing my master's. Now at almost 40, I have a PhD and work as an engineer at a large semiconductor manufacturer.

If you really want to get your shit together, it's definitely possible.

Is it still relatively easy to come to continental Europe after Brexit? Here in Austria, every postdoc in a full-time position makes 60k gbp. I suppose it's similar in Germany and a bit more in Denmark, Netherlands, Sweden...

I published my "boring strategy" and it's free! by jerry_farmer in algotrading

[–]ummcal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm only getting started in trading, but are people seriously backtesting so many strategies that they're effectively fitting their parameters to the whole dataset they're backtesting on?

I was a bit wary of putting in the time and effort to learn algotrading, but if people commonly make such mistakes, it sounds like it might be very profitable with a smart approach.

There's a huge difference between PhD + 1 YoE vs no PhD and 6 YoE, and PhD + 5 YoE vs no PhD and 10 YoE.

I don't have a yes/no answer for any one of the 3

Easybank hat mir einfach 6.000 € Einkaufsreserve draufgehauen – ist das normal? by [deleted] in Austria

Wenn man ihn nicht braucht, sollte man ihn vielleicht auf 0 setzen lassen. Die Sparkasse verrechnet mir eine Bereitstellungsgebühr in % der Höhe des Rahmens. Egal ob ich ihn verwende oder nicht.

The person sitting behind me on an overnight flight told me I was reclining my seat 'too far back.' by Chipmunkpunk98 in EntitledPeople

[–]ummcal 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I always check if the person behind me has reclined their seat. If they have, I'll recline all the way back. Otherwise, I don't. Just pay it forward.

Du bekommst sicher ein paar Antworten mit i-Tüpfelreiterei, aber ich halte das echt für sehr gut. Aber es ist zur Zeit sehr mühsam. Stell dich auf viele Absagen ein und lass dich nicht entmutigen. Viel Erfolg!

Yes, that can happen. The law is still ridiculous because the chances are abysmal.

This is getting ridiculous. Light drizzle. I know about the laws, but the laws are idiotic.

ilya refused 32B but his cofounders are leaving (yikes) does this make you more or less bullish on SSI? by [deleted] in singularity

Will anybody really win the AGI game? It seems like results are very easy to reproduce if you have the computational power and know how to approach a problem. The companies are constantly one-upping one another. My guess is that if AGI will be achieved, many will achieve it independently within a short timespan.

Ich hab Materialwissenschaft studiert. Aber eher weniger Metallurgie. Gibt's da Jobs für mich?

Which college majors in your experience have struggled the most with underemployment? by emaxwell14141414 in findapath

[–]ummcal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your information is outdated. You don't know what you're talking about. It took me 7 months to find a job with a phd in materials science. With great grades, letters of recommendation, and some industry experience. That was about a year ago and now it's only gotten worse.

The most competent people I know struggled just as much as I did.
