You’re doing it right. Don’t desperate, mate. Most companies are permanently understaffed but management and hr drag their feet as much as they can, and then it’s all a rush. So at the end it’s a lottery. It sounds like you have quite the portfolio too so put it onto as many faces as you can and the calls and mails will come (and the spam! Use an alias, or a specific address unless you trust they’re not gonna sell it). You’ve got this.
I don’t know if reddit is the best place for job hunting, you might get better luck on LinkedIn most likely, but I’d personally try everything if I were in a dire situation.
Just a couple questions, how long have you been job hunting? How many applications have you put out? In a post in that sub someone is complaining about not getting any answer after ‘50 applications in a month’, another one is already in despair after ‘4 days’… don’t get me wrong, I know how soul crushing job hunting is but it is a numbers game you can’t throw the towel after four bloody days ffs! 50 applications is just a good Tuesday, I’ve got calls more than a year after applying for a position…
Another question you should ask yourself is whether you are an expat or a migrant. Main difference between these is that migrants usually don’t see driving an Uber, laying bricks or serving tables as below them.
Anyway best of lucks and welcome to this side of the pond!
Ps: Oh! Also: wages! Their not American wages, CoL is lower but not by that much (some things like electronics, cars, gas… are in fact more expensive). A waiter in America (specially CA, I think I’ve read your from LA) makes more than most engineers here in Europe.
So let me get this straight… telling people who are struggling financially and can barely make ends meet ‘No you aren’t! You’re just too stupid and uncultured to understand these numbers!’ doesn’t get you their vote and even can make them vote for the other guy!? Who would have thunk!
So the bad guys here are the ones preventing others to use their research… right?
I don’t think anyone is asking for perfection just basic human decency, but I guess that’s like asking for a thousand talking unicorns in politics.
This is good advice. And also carrots.
Don’t be fooled, taxes are just a way to extract the fruit of the poor folks’ labor and give it to the rich and powerful. Always have been, since their inception. Not just in America, here in the (highly idealized by lemmy) EU I cost my company 3200€ a month, 1850€ go to my bank account and 1350€ to the government, plus up to a 21% vat from the things I purchase. Amazon pays literally 0€ in taxes.
I always thought that about Jessica Fletcher. Too many people dying around that woman.
In the privacy of your home? Like a civilized person.
Light emitted farther than 46 billion light years away will never reach you. While traveling an infinite distance the universe expands faster, and light emitted not that far will get so red-shifted that it won’t be visible anymore.
As I said I never put it in my cv, because I know what it implies. In my country we have a similar thing with English proficiency, everyone would put ‘mid level English’ which actually means ‘barely able to order at a restaurant while pointing to things with your finger’.
I mean I’ve never put it in my resume and I work better in a healthy environment, but under stressful and chaotic circumstances I perform much much better than most.
My secret: I’m always super anxious, you can throw all the chaos you want my way and it’ll barely move the stress-o-meter needle a bit.
You literally said ‘that doesn’t encrypt your storage’. I’ve read some other comments of yours about it being decrypted after entering a pin or passwords in memory…that’s not how it works (again at least in iOS), it’s managed by hardware. Basically a chip enters your password for you. So no, an attacker can’t access your storage, it’s still encrypted, or your password that easily.
iOS encrypts the storage by default. Don’t know about android but I’m sure if not by default it can be enabled.
Was it the smarter cop that thought the inscription was a lie? Or was it the dumber cop that just couldn’t read?
On a note I’ve had a scale similar to the small one for like twenty years, mine still have the lid and all. Batteries last forever. 10/10 would recommend.
The only realistic option is to try and change the stance of one of the two that can win the election
How would you propose to do that while also offering said party an unconditional vote? I’m not American, but if you have an answer it would be useful here too. Parliamentary systems end up pretty much the same.
Tread cautiously here if you’re going to strike. I’m not a lawyer so take this just as a heads up, but Spanish law is tricky in this regard so get informed before risking your job. As per the Ministry of Work and Social Economy it is illegal to strike for ‘political reasons, solidarity or support’ (‘Son ilegales las huelgas por motivos políticos, las de solidaridad o apoyo…’), on top of this you can be not permitted to strike for many other reasons. Pretty fascist I know but what we want is fewer people starving and homeless not more.
Edit: Looked it up, this one’s legal (at the time of this comment).
Doesn’t those results mean that we all are world class astrologers? Just roll the dice and you’re as good as the best.
Doesn’t ‘piss off’ can mean ‘leave’ in American English too? I use them pretty much interchangeably, maybe ‘fuck off’ expresses a stronger intention.
I use Fedora and sometimes Debian (Debian is love! 🌀❤️), and brew my coffee in a moka pot.
