UIUC Thread

[AOB]

I'm taking FIN 321 and ECON 303 for my VEE and MATH 490 (P&C Math) to wrap up my degree credit.

Gorvett's teaching 490. You might want to check out the lecture notes, it's pretty relevant stuff. Some of it is a repeat from 431 last semester.

Even if I happen to agree with the post (both parts of it), we just can't have that. If you guys wanna complain about Brawl you should keep it in this thread.

Where did the UIUC Brawlers go anyway? Dustin? Sean? hankpants?

[gameandwatch 4 Lyfe]

You thought you finished me eh? >:|
BC was talking about running a brawl/melée tournament at the end of the month north of Chicago.
Question: Can the smashing illini get $$ from the school to host events?
Also, brawl may suck but we make millions playing it. And by millions I mean about $20 a month...

You have to watched your verb tenses.

 

[brickman]

And I think you need to note the time of my post!

Unlike you, Andy, humans get tired!

 

[chewyy]

P.S. I'd be up for melee at some point... I used to be decent... :-/

 

[SuperMatt]

Henrik, do you know anything about jackson national life insurance company?

 

[slomo431]

Life? Has Judy taught you nothing? No, I've heard of them, but don't really know anything. Why? Any luck?

 

[AOB]

They were at the job fair this year, and I talked to them, but of course I don't remember anything and I didn't get any materials from them. I have jotted down "insurance: life, retirement" from the information we received before the fair.

 

[SuperMatt]

i had an interview there today, they seem pretty strong

 

[_marth1_]

[AOB]

Andy, I'm loving the new avatar.

 

[AOB]

Do you know what it is? +10 points if you do.

 

[brickman]

You are becoming the oldest man in metropolis!

 

[AOB]

Nope. It's the old Lego space logo. It's actually a little too old even for me, believe it or not--when we started to get into Lego sets, those themes were long gone. The only place I've seen it in real life is in one Space Police I set we somehow ended up with after the theme had been phased out: http://guide.lugnet.com/set/6955
It's on the guys' shirts.

You can see it on this (pretty cool for 30 years ago) set.

 

[Dekuschrub]

[_marth1_]

step 1: find your guy

step 4: repeat

 

[Dekuschrub]

[SuperMatt]

falco
jigglypuff/fox
marth/sheik
falcon
peach

i can never make up my mind

falcon is showing some potential recently....and fox is losing his skills

henrik how much money should i ask for? im thinking minimum 55 grand

 

[Dekuschrub]

uhhh

falco> jigg/fox is interesting

also rofl and wario 3rd? whats he behind MK and snake??

 

[AOB]

Well considering none of us really know how to play Brawl, no matter how good Matt thinks he is...

I haven't played at all in about half a year.

Fox is #1.

 

[slomo431]

Things are going well with Jackson, I hope? 55 sounds about right for you considering the DWSimpson salary survey ranges, maybe even a k or 2 higher. I think the higher end would be more for people with internships and such. It also depends on bonuses, non-exam pay raise considerations and other benefits. I would think exam pay raises are fairly standard. I'm gonna have to charge you a 10% consulting fee for this advice though. A lot of analysis went into this.

I'm not too sure about salary negotiations though, I was lucky enough to not have to go through that. I only had the option of either State Farm that was inflexible with their offer and my company that I think for some reason might have confused my hometown Bloomingdale with Bloomington and thought they'd need to bid a bit extra to lure me away from the Farm town. Especially since my first paycheck was addressed to Bloomington...
