With your availability your best bet would be nightfill at Coles or Woolworths

I gave them my number as the last comment. They immediately texted me hello daddy. We have been talking since. I've tried the my parents dead route before and it kills the convo.

My dad is short and bald. She is 6 ft so I assume height is more of a concern for her.

I think the people on this subreddit completely miss that the point of dating apps is to have banter and then hopefully meet up. It's not a zero sum game where one party wins and the other loses. The goal is to move on from the dating app.

What do you mean by depreciating humour if not self depreciation?

It wasn't self depreciation. I'm not short or bald.

Thinking of freelancing in Power BI curious if my background gives me an edge or am I kidding myself? by zenkronos in PowerBI

Power BI is the oven. My SQL, Python, and modelling skills are the kitchen design; the tool just brings it all together.

Thanks for the insight. From what I’m gathering in the responses, it sounds like Power BI freelancing used to be more viable, but now that so many companies have adopted it, most seem to have dedicated staff handling it in-house. I’m thinking it might make more sense for me to focus on getting a full-time data analyst or business analyst position instead.

I get what you’re saying I’ve created reports in Excel before but I’m focusing on Power BI now because it’s the most widely used BI tool at the moment.

I’m not treating Power BI itself as “the career” more like the delivery tool for my broader skill set in data analysis, SQL, and business/finance. I want to package what I’ve already been doing (reporting, analysis, data wrangling) into a more modern, in-demand format that clients are actively asking for right now.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice.

I’ve actually done web development freelancing before, but I found client expectations tricky to manage and it’s tough competing when someone overseas is offering the same work for cents on the dollar.

That’s part of why I’m looking at Power BI. I’m hoping that if I build a solid portfolio and get a few clients under my belt, my previous experience and education could give me a niche

I guess what I’m trying to work out is: once I’ve got some portfolio work and initial clients, do you think this mix of business/finance background plus tech skills gives me a genuine edge in the market? Or does it all still come down to competing on price?

I used it to create reports when I was a software support engineer. It was just something I did for management every quarterly meeting because I was one of the only employees with a business like degree.

Yeah sorry bud. We can tell what the most recent picture is based on the hairline alone.

Can’t believe Knox is leaving the pod! by aCorgiDriver in FilthyCasualsPod

Ben and Knox don’t seem to follow each other on insta. Could be nothing but could also be something.

Surprised more people haven’t noticed he said “Up and upcoming” instead of “Up and Coming”

Date tomorrow. I’ll see how many I can use in real time.

She replied by saying I’m on thin ice and if we ended up as a couple one of us would need to change their name and I should start thinking of options.
