Hello everyone,

My partner (22) and I (27) are looking to rent an apartment of $1995 in Los Angeles. I currently have a contractor job with W-2 that pays me $42 an hour, excluding holidays. In the past biweekly pay period, I earned $3,360 as gross earnings before deductions from insurance and taxes (roughly $6720 in the past month). My partner graduated college this year and just completed his 3-month internship, which earned him $25/hr and constantly have a part-time job that he works for 5-10 hours a week with $17/hr.

My credit score is 750-770 and his credit score is 700-750.

The management company makes it a requirement that each occupant apply separately to our credits and that combined income be x3 the rent. They also do not allow cosigners. The management did tell us that it's okay if only one of the occupants have the ability to pay for rent.

I'm not sure if this matters, but I wanted to apply before September because I'm also planning to resign from my job by September to make a career transition, so I most likely won't have my job by then. Could that affect my application if I apply before I resign? I have enough money in my savings to support my monthly rent and other expenses and for my partner, his parents will help him pay for the rent.

We don't want to spend our money for the application before we are sure that we will be accepted. Do you think we will have some problems with getting accepted?

I'm currently looking at places to rent near Anaheim/Cypress/Cerritos area and I'm hoping to get some honest opinions on the neighborhood around the Magnolia High School.

Is it generally safe, in the morning/night? And what about noise levels? Thank you

My main source of stress has been my work lately.

I usually work from home except on Mondays and my commute is 2 hrs drive one-way. Also, recently the management at the company changed, putting me under stricter manager and way bigger responsibilities.

I’m grateful for all the opportunities but at the same time I’m still a contractor (less job stability), same salary, and not where I wanna be career-wise.

Due to work stress, I have trouble getting in quality sleep for Mondays. I track my sleep on my Oura ring and I can see that I only get 5 or less hours on Sunday night and 7-9 hours on other nights.

(I woke up at 4:50am and tried to go to sleep but couldn’t. I’m typing this at 6:30am on Monday morning after I called in sick and requested to work from home lol)

I find myself tossing and turning on the bed a lot more on Sunday nights and having trouble falling asleep. I also need to wake up around 5am to beat the traffic as well so I constantly have the pressure to fall asleep.

I don’t drink, eat late night meals, nor stare at my phone screen before bed.

Can anyone else relate to this? What are some things that helped you? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

I’m very unfamiliar with data engineering (I’m a junior data analyst), so any feedback would be appreciated. I have a set up in Databricks where I use python scripts to ingest multiple table data from SAP and put them in the bronze layer. These data could be changed, added, or deleted, and we always want the latest versions of the tables.

We’ve had some iterations for updating our silver tables from bronze. At first we just called CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE, so it would overwrite all the data with fresh data every time we ran.
Then, we used MERGE INTO to make it more efficient for incremental changes.
Then, we used row-hash comparison in Python to update all the tables.
The tables don’t have many rows yet, with the largest having almost 1M rows. But we are constantly ingesting more tables as the project size grows.
Now looking back, maybe all the iterations was a waste of time since the tables aren’t big enough. We wanted to minimize sql run time to minimize cost.
Those who are seasoned experts, what do you think?

It's not like I hate it. I'm just lost. Maybe I'm slow and don't understand how many of the science in this game works. Maybe the lack of understanding just led to more confusion in the end.

I enjoyed it and was so thrilled towards the mid-end of the game. I couldn't wait to hop on the game and uncover the remaining mysteries of the universe. Especially when I encountered people on social media saying how the game changed their outlook on life, I was so excited myself to reach the end. But for some reason, I don't think I was able to develop the level of relationship other people had with the game.

For instance, maybe it's because I don't really understand how the >! 22-minute mechanic works !< and >! what the eye really represents. !<

Maybe I'll learn to appreciate it more when I'm at a certain point of my life. But I'm really glad many people here had very good experiences. Just wanted to vent and see if others experienced something similar like me.

Hi, I was curious if anyone here applied to the Entry-level Data Analyst position back in late March - early April and heard back from them. I applied on April 1st, but my application is still being considered.

I know it could take some time for them to reach back. Just curious if some people already heard back.
