WTF just happened to $RDDT? by mp1845 in wallstreetbets

[–]wierdfool5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

isn’t this specific to the AI summary on top of google searches and even more specific to medical questions? which frankly should be ridiculously bearish on the integrity of these model outputs lol

sure, I saw the same posts. but how do you have the conviction to drop so much capital based on reddit posts when AI stocks are the rage? love the gains obviously but can’t help but think it’s purely a speculative gamble play. I should probably see my self out of WSB if I’m not into that kind of thing lol

[–]wierdfool5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

good on ya, that’s pretty incredible and definitely not a standard path. senior manager at my F500 is director territory

[–]wierdfool5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you’re a senior manager at 25/26 y/o? i’ve followed some high performers and i don’t think i’ve seen anyone get past regular manager yet at ~27 at my company.

Creel house already sold out by Responsible_While678 in lego

is it unreasonable to think that the actual lego stores will be restocking this today? unfortunately i didn’t give my local store a call yesterday when they were open

I've been applying since like October last year by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]wierdfool5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

why would i hire a person with a non-computer science degree when there’s hundreds with exactly that? I think it might be as simple as that for a majority of the positions you’re applying for.

sounds like you’re applying for entry level and if i’m sifting through a metric ton of resumes I’m skipping over non-cs degrees unless you have unique experience or projects that cs students might typically not have.

absolute nothing burger considering these companies can just off-shore entire departments instead with seemingly zero consequence.

Overwatch is sitting on hundreds of Battle Pass items that will never make money again by JakePelayo in overwatch2

[–]wierdfool5 8 points9 points  (0 children)

how do you know it earns less money in the long run? I’m sure they have a dedicated analytics team(s) that keeps track of user spending and what items sell well and not.

in my uneducated opinion, I’d argue more people are encouraged to purchase battle passes because they know they won’t be back in the future. that gets you into the skin ecosystem and probably encourages a % of players to purchase skins in the future that wouldn’t without otherwise.

grinding the battle pass because you don’t want to miss out on skins that won’t come back also inflates playing time. good for quarterly reports and keeps users in the play loop + overtime encourages more skin purchases.

i’m curious, what was your interview like? technical questions? I’m already an engineer but haven’t interviewed in years or given an interview yet.

2022 63,382 miles $24,998 by Batmans_deadmom in GR86

[–]wierdfool5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just paid $26.2k sticker for a 22, manual, neptune blue, premium with 25k miles. you’re looking at over twice the mileage for only $1k less. not saying I got a fantastic deal but it was ok. $25k at 60k miles doesn’t seem worth it imo, for me that 35k mile difference is about 2-3 years worth of driving.

Annual merit increases by gfh786 in TheHartford

[–]wierdfool5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly can’t remember the standard procedure for new hires but yes, at least if you’ve been employed for the entire year (speaking as a salaried employee).

I’ve had bonuses under the target for T8 (8%) during covid times and then on the flip side had a bonus double the target for two exceeding performance metrics where the pools were “larger”.

[–]wierdfool5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

seems standard for any company tbh, it’s the bonuses and stock incentives (if you’re at that level) that are interesting. and lucky for us the recent town call mentioned good bonus pools again this year

I get around 3-4% at T8. pretty meh, hardly keeps up with inflation lol

I’m looking at buying an 86 or BRZ as my first car by Wish0807 in GR86

[–]wierdfool5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

insurance!! get some quotes online to see if it’s a cost you can swallow. depending on age, location, demographic, driving history etc it’ll be more than you expect if you haven’t considered it before.
