Hey guys,

Ascendant 3 initiator main looking for tips on improving my gunplay.

I'm super inconsistent when it comes to these high ascendant, low immortal lobbies and am looking for things to practice to win more gunfights and push into lower immortal.

Any tips are appreciated!

Hi there,

I'm a new grad working in an IT Tech position and want to focus on learning as much in this role as possible and upskilling.

I've looked into different paths and landed on becoming proficient in Azure (though I also understand that once you understand one cloud platform thoroughly, it's relatively easy to learn the others).

My plan is to become more proficient in the basics like Linux, Networking, etc, acquire AZ-104, Terraform Associate, then build bigger projects like a Homelab and I'm hearing a 3-tier Architecture deployed using Azure would be a strong choice.

Currently on my resume, I have some beginner IT-esque projects (Cloud Resume Challenge, Personal ServiceNow Instance), while my experience is current position, and two extracurricular roles I held in university. One being a leadership role, and one being a role similar to what I'm doing full-time.

My question is: Would it be more optimal to list two projects, three experiences, or three projects, two experiences.

I know experience often outweighs projects, though I find that my non-leadership role in school would feel redundant to list considering my current position.

Additionally, advice on specific cxrtifications to look for (MD-102?) would be of great help, I'm finding myself overwhelmed with all the options.

Either way, the market is abhorrent, especially at entry-level so I expect to put in 500-1000 applications to land something (if I'm lucky), but I want to maximize my chances!

Any advice from recruiters, or someone who was in a similar position would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

Long time chatR customer at $25/m for 30GB of LTE data.
I received a text that reads:

Hi from chatr! ☀️ Summer is heating up, and so are our deals.

For a limited time, switch to Fido and get a $25/mo 5G plan after a $10 monthly bill credit, with:
• 60GB of data with 5G speeds up to 1 Gbps
• Unlimited Canada-wide calling
When you bring your own phone.

The thing that's getting me is "after a $10 monthly bill credit".
- Does this mean my price is just gonna be raised $10?
- Is this plan worth it for me or should I wait for another postpaid plan to pop up?

What do you think? Thank you guys

Hi there,
I’m a recent CS graduate in Ontario and just started my first full-time tech job. I’m trying to figure out whether getting into real estate should be one of my major financial goals over the next few years, or whether I’d be better off investing/saving and staying flexible.

My situation:
~$85k base salary, potentially ~$107k with bonuses
~$120k total comp when including benefits/pension
~$13k currently in my TFSA
~$20k student debt, but currently at 0% interest
Essentially no dedicated emergency fund or down payment yet
Very low monthly expenses (~$500)
No dependents
Planning to put roughly $1,500/month into an FHSA while also building my emergency fund and maxing my TFSA over the next 2–3 years
I expect to have significantly more capital saved by then as my income grows
I’m particularly interested in “house hacking”. Ideally, I’d like to buy a duplex or triplex where I can live in one unit and rent out the others. I’d also consider buying a house and renting out bedrooms if the numbers make sense.
The appeal is being able to live somewhere I’d actually enjoy while having tenants help offset the mortgage. As a young professional, I’d prefer somewhere relatively urban GTA-adjacent or a student city, rather than buying purely because it’s cheap. (perhaps I'm asking for too much here)

My biggest question is whether this is actually a smart goal for someone in my position.
Would you start preparing to buy real estate over the next 2–3 years, or would you prioritize TFSA/FHSA/investing and keep renting if you were me?
And for those who have actually house hacked in Ontario:
Is a duplex/triplex still realistic for a first-time buyer?
Is renting out bedrooms in a single-family home significantly more profitable/easier?
What kind of capital should I realistically aim to have before seriously considering a purchase?
Are there Ontario cities/markets that you’d recommend looking into for this strategy?
What costs or headaches did you underestimate when you first got into real estate?
I’m not looking to buy anytime, as I need time to build the capital. I’m mainly trying to figure out whether real estate should be the goal I’m saving toward in the first place, and what I should be doing now to set myself up for the future.

Would greatly appreciate any words of wisdom.

Thank you!!

Hey guys,

As someone whom is brand new in UGC, when applying to Sideshift, and even some other websites' opportunities, you are often told that you need to create a brand new account, warm it up, etc etc.

What I'm wondering is how do people create brand new accounts in bulk without getting shadow banned or something; especially when you have to put a new e-mail and/or phone number on tiktok?

Am I just looking in the wrong places? If anyone has any resources or advice, feel free to DM me, I feel like I could use any sort of guidance at this point.

Thank you!

I've signed up for Collabstr, Sideshift, and Billo (still waiting to hear back for that) and haven't been getting any responses on the first 2.
I tried reaching out to an app I found cool on instagram and they offered a $100 USD retainer for 30 videos a month. Is this what I'm in for? Is this normal?
Does anyone have any other brands a starter can reach out to or things I can do to get my foot in the door?
