what does merit listed mean?

 

I applied for a contract job at one of the government offices in a certain field and they gave me an offer at the place but for a completely unrelated field after one interview, without any communication on doing so. For example, if I were in medicine, it's like being a face doctor and they gave me a job in podiatry. Is this normal? I assumed if I apply to job X and I'm told I have an offer, that it would be for job X.

Not a fan of this specific one but the general idea of this kind of top, where can I find similar tops? I recall they were also popular around 2020, at least in Europe. If you watch love is blind habibi, Safa in episode 2 seems to have some sort of statement top as well, but don't think it's sheer. Would be nice to find it but I can't take a screenshot on netflix.

Thanks!

2 questions i’d like to understand about DCF models which I am learning:

1) I understand the difference between growth capex and maintenance capex, but what if I want to only put in maintenance every 5 or 10 years? is there a formula that I can use to say incorporate maintenance capex every 5 years?

2) we assume that assets are ready to use right away but what if they are not? For example, what if I have an asset but some of them are not ready to use, like a forest but some trees are not ready to be cut down or cows and some are not ready to produce milk. My starting revenue would increase every year, presumably by some given growth rate, but my starting capacity would change, so how do I incorporate both?

Thanks!

Seems like a basic safety/planning kind of question since you’d be in the middle of a body of water

I think so, too. Swimming with a life jacket in my opinion is more difficult than swimming without one. However, I would think that treading water is more difficult than swimming with a life jacket so maybe if swimming with a life jacket is the expectation, then that's ok.

[–] Pat12 1 points 5 months ago

Backing it up one step further, a common beginner mistake is to decide on a destination irrespective of the wind direction. This sometimes makes sailing more difficult than it needs to be and can result in the unnecessary torturing of guests as the captain stubbornly pounds into wind and wave to achieve a destination not superior to other options that would provide a more congenial travel experience.

this is really helpful, thank you!

 

If you want to take someone sailing on a boat and you ask them if they can swim, what exactly are you asking? Everyone can float if they have a life jacket right?

My understanding is that someone is being asked if they can take care of themselves and/or tread water until they are rescued and/or if they are a strong swimmer, but I could be wrong.

I've recently learnt to sail but when I'm on the water, all of my theory goes out of my head. Can someone please explain the steps of sailing or confirm what I've written below?

  1. check the wind direction
  2. think of where I want to navigate to and point the boat relative to the wind.
  3. think of the points of sail. For the boat's position relative to the wind, change the main sail to the respective point of sail and the wind will catch the sail.
  4. use the main sheet to keep the sail in the "point of sail" direction that the wind should be in.
  5. make very small movements to keep the boat going straight towards my target
  6. once i'm going straight, check the sail if it's luffing periodically and trim the sail if necessary

when tacking,

  1. use the tiller to turn the boat around, either pull it fully towards or away from me
  2. once the boat is turned around, pull the tiller so that it's now straight and you can let the tiller handle lay on the side of the boat
  3. switch sides as usual

thank you!

hmm maybe there is health insurance but it wasnt mentioned during the initial call. i ask for compensation of 90-100K, said it was negotiable and expect it will be negotiated down, at least it wont be 65K.

[–] Pat12 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Not sure what that means but yeah, no health plan or stock options. There's a 401K with some matching. It's just the salary with the bonus.

[–] Pat12 1 points 5 months ago (4 children)

10% annual and prorated. no other compensation. just salary and up to 10% bonus. no gym membership or housing etc mentioned.

[–] Pat12 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (6 children)

bonus is up to 10%

i can deal with work-related stress but if i have to worry about paying bills, that's what i completely want to avoid.

 

I am interviewing with a company where they are offering $65K/year in NYC for an analyst (junior level) role. The senior analyst position is $85K/year. These salaries seem extremely low for NYC (although I'm not from NYC or even the US). What would be an appropriate salary to ask for for a junior analyst role? It involves financial modelling. I want this kind of job but I also want to be able to live without too much stress.

 

mother's day tomorrow ;wondering if it's possible to make the dessert in advance because it's easier when they're out of the house so it's a secret. thanks!
