Hello all. I’m a game designer looking for my next opportunity, whether in or out of the gaming industry. I have worked on every type of team, from small indie, 100% remote teams to big AAA studios with some in studio and some remote, to everything in between. While my specialization is level design, actually building and planning out the world of the game, because of my generalist or “gap-filler” approach to development I have worn every design hat imaginable. From boss, narrative, quest, system, level, encounter, puzzle design and level scripting, I have done it all. My work style relies heavily on strong inter-disciplinary communication, which is further empowered by my wide knowledge base, allowing me to collaborate with others across multiple departments without making unreasonable requests. If you’re interested in seeing what I have to offer, just reach out and we’ll see what happens.
Have a great day!

I'm in my early 40s and looking for a complete career change. I had the opportunity to get all my licenses with very little experience and production over the past few years (6, 7, 65, 63, insurance while working within a small firm). I'm in the process of finding out more information, but the reviews here are brutal. I'm in a completely different field (160K salary) and I am just wiped out. I'm newer to the industry but certainly not new in terms of work.
I'm not some eager graduate looking for work, and asking me for 200 close contacts would be an easy "No thank you". Do I even go to this in person meet and greet/interview?

Hello,
I’m trying to get some advice as to where I should go with my career.
I’ve got 2 YOE in the industry. I worked at an RIA for a little over a year. I now work at one of the large brokerage firms in a branch in a client service associate role. Series 7, 66
More of my background: Experience at RIA: helped to complete paperwork and complete different tasks assigned to me while getting licensed.
Then worked in a practice responding to emails and phone calls from the clients, updating and reviewing the financial plan prior to meetings, investment research for the advisor, trades, apps, monitoring the practice, training and managing the intern.
Now, I have been working at the large brokerage firm and am happy with the money I am making ~ $70k. I do paperwork, open accounts, help with trades, educate clients. I enjoy meeting with clients face to face and feel that I have refined my skills with interacting with clients from low net worth to UHNW.
Downside: I don’t do much when it comes to financial planning. I meet with a client, help them mostly with paperwork and it’s on to the next one, then the next. I miss more of the personalized relationship that could be had with the clients of the RIA and the responsibilities that I used to have.
I am wondering if there is a certain point in time when I should make my decision by as I know it takes time to build a book at a RIA and to build the pipeline. Would it be more advantageous if I stayed at a large firm for awhile to cut my teeth more or should I rip the bandaid off and look for a position at a RIA, if it meant a paycut?
I’m also curious as to what I could expect to earn given my experience.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

First off, apologies if the flair I added is wrong. Also that this post is quite lengthy. tldr at the end though.
Currently a rising senior in HS and request insight or advice for what to do to help improve my college applications coming soon as well as gain some experience related to my planned career choice of working in IB or private equity starting as an analyst. So far in school, I’ve focused on mainly doing finance/business related courses such as accounting, AP Macro/Micro, personal finance, investing, business management, etc. I’ve also been a part of my schools DECA chapter and have went to internationals twice. On the side, I’ve ran my own business for two years this coming June. I also volunteer a lot on the side for multiple different organizations and am usually the one who handles most of the financials regarding events and such. I’m also a the treasurer for some school clubs, but they are mostly not that significant overall.
With the summer coming up and the process of college applications beginning now, I realized that I don’t really have much to put down for official examples of work and experience. I plan to double major in finance and account as well as a possible minor in quantitive economics, coming to this conclusion after researching Linkedin profiles of companies that people in firms such as Goldman or Citadel, as well as through talks with family friends or parents’ colleagues who work in the banking/investments industries, albeit their roles being majorly IT jobs. My question is, to gain experience, what is there that I can do such as internships or summer jobs or other programs that I could do given my education level? I’ve struggled to find much success in just general searching and wondered if there’s something I’m missing. Additionally, are pre college courses worth the cost; I’ve applied to the NYU Precollege program as well as the NYU SPS HS Academy so far but with the cost being nearly $1900 a credit guidance would be helpful for deciding if I should to or not.
In regard to other education stuff, I plan to apply Early Decision to NYU and Early Action to many other schools such as UNC Chapel or UPENN or Northwestern. Additionally is the information in this list of target schools accurate or is it overstating (https://www.peakframeworks.com/post/ib-target-schools)?
TLDR: rising senior, wanna be an IB, wanna double major in finance and account, need advice on how/where to get experience related to my focuses.
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.

AI-Based Innovation Available Soon in RAD and RAD-R Solutions
Detroit, Michigan, May 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (AITX) (the “Company”) (OTCPK:AITX), is pleased to announce the biggest technology innovation it has ever developed which it is calling Autonomous Intelligent Response, abbreviated to AIR. AIR is the inevitable evolution of the Company’s Autonomous Remote Services (ARS) paradigm by harnessing newly developed technological innovations to deliver intelligent human-like response in every applicable surveillance camera and RAD device.
“It’s like having the best possible remote video operator watching every camera with unblinking eyes and ready to apply best practices for engagement in an instant,” said Steve Reinharz, AITX CEO & CTO. “Imagine having a security operations center at the edge in every device, that’s AIR. This massively enhances our ability to identify and deter dangerous and costly events in addition to a myriad of other solutions.”
The significance of this development has prompted the Company to update the AITX Mission Statement.
AIR will be utilized throughout all AITX subsidiaries and made available for licensing in the future. For Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), this means the Generation 4 RAD devices and software (ROSA™, RIO™, AVA™, ROSS™) will be fully AIR-capable. AIR will also be the software backbone for RADCam™ from subsidiary RAD-R, providing home security performance levels not currently known to be available in the marketplace.
AIR’s autonomy allows AIR-based security devices to monitor environments, detect anomalies, and respond to potential threats without the need for constant human oversight. By reducing reliance on human resources, AIR not only enhances efficiency and lowers operational costs but also ensures continuous, uninterrupted protection, even in the most dynamic and complex scenarios.
Additionally, AIR-enabled systems can initiate visual and audible alarms, alert authorities, and lock doors in real-time, providing a level of responsiveness that is both faster and more accurate than traditional security systems. This rapid response capability is crucial in mitigating risks and preventing incidents before they escalate, ensuring that security measures are always one step ahead of potential threats.
Reinharz continued, “The introduction of AIR represents our unwavering commitment to advancing security and facility management through cutting-edge technology. Stay tuned for more updates and detailed insights into how AIR will redefine the landscape of intelligent security solutions.”
The Company noted that it is making preparations for the first AIR demonstrations in the next few weeks which will be available on the AITX YouTube channel.
The forthcoming release of AIR marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of corporate security and facility management. As businesses and organizations face increasingly sophisticated security challenges along with budget constraints, AIR enables transformative solutions that will combine autonomy, intelligence, and responsiveness.
AITX, through its subsidiaries, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), RAD-R, RAD-M and RAD-G is redefining the $25 billion (US) security and guarding services industry through its broad lineup of innovative, AI-driven Solutions-as-a-Service business model. RAD solutions are specifically designed to provide cost savings to businesses of between 35%-80% when compared to the industry’s existing and costly manned security guarding and monitoring model. RAD delivers these tremendous cost savings via a suite of stationary and mobile robotic solutions that complement, and at times, directly replace the need for human personnel in environments better suited for machines. All RAD technologies, AI-based analytics and software platforms are developed in-house.
About Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions (AITX)
AITX is an innovator in the delivery of artificial intelligence-based solutions that empower organizations to gain new insight, solve complex challenges and fuel new business ideas. Through its next-generation robotic product offerings, AITX’s RAD, RAD-R, RAD-M and RAD-G companies help organizations streamline operations, increase ROI, and strengthen business. AITX technology improves the simplicity and economics of patrolling and guard services and allows experienced personnel to focus on more strategic tasks. Customers augment the capabilities of existing staff and gain higher levels of situational awareness, all at drastically reduced cost. AITX solutions are well suited for use in multiple industries such as enterprises, government, transportation, critical infrastructure, education, and healthcare.

A Glimpse into the Future of Online Casino Gaming:
The future of online casino gaming promises to be even more exciting, with Nuebe Gaming at the forefront of innovation:
​

• Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR): These emerging technologies have the potential to revolutionize online casino gaming. Imagine stepping into a virtual casino floor with stunning visuals and sounds, interacting with virtual dealers and fellow players in a truly immersive environment. Nuebe Gaming is actively exploring these possibilities to offer players an unparalleled level of engagement.
  
• Artificial Intelligence (AI): AI can personalize the online casino experience for each player. This may involve tailoring game recommendations, offering personalized bonuses, and providing targeted support based on individual preferences and gameplay patterns.
  
• Focus on Responsible Gaming: Nuebe Gaming prioritizes responsible gaming practices. They offer tools and resources to help players set deposit limits, track their gameplay, and self-exclude if necessary. This commitment to responsible gaming fosters a safe and secure environment for all players.
  

Conclusion: Nuebe Gaming - Your Gateway to the Digital Evolution of Gaming
Nuebe Gaming stands as a testament to the dynamic and ever-evolving world of online casino gaming. With their commitment to innovation, a diverse game selection, secure platform, and responsible gaming practices, Nuebe Gaming is at the forefront of the digital evolution of gaming. As technology continues to evolve, the online casino experience promises to become even more immersive, interactive, and accessible, offering players a world of entertainment at their fingertips.

For most Americans, college is no longer working. A bachelor's degree doesn’t reliably guarantee what universities say it delivers: an investment that prepares you for the workplace and the world. While the income gap between college and high school grads is well documented, the wealth gap is “indistinguishable from zero” due to unconstrained costs, regardless of race or ethnicity. Put differently, college grads will earn more but because of their student loans, they’ll have the same amount in their bank account as someone who didn’t go to college at all¹ . Barely one in ten (11%) business leaders believe that college graduates have the skills and competencies that their workplaces need² . Instead, employers report recent hires showing up without the requisite skills required to contribute as productive employees³.
Traditional universities spend more on non-instructional initiatives like research and athletics instead of developing knowledge and skills that prepare its students. Today, 1M students annually report that they didn’t enroll or they dropped out of college because of the cost⁴ . Americans carry $1.8T in student loan debt while universities have increased the cost of tuition by 30-40%⁵ since 2010. Economists report that over the next ten years, businesses will have increasingly more job openings for college graduates with no adequate supply⁶ . Additionally, as artificial intelligence threatens jobs across industries, humans will be pushed up or out – up to more intellectually intensive and integrative roles, or out of the workforce altogether. Our nation’s economy needs a sustainable, accessible, and effective approach to college if we’re to compete globally.
SOLUTION Polymath University will produce more-prepared graduates through a three-major curriculum, delivered year-round and remotely to same-city cohorts, who will serve apprenticeships en route to graduation in three years.
A polymath is someone who has built depth, breadth, and integration of knowledge. Specifically, polymaths can operate fluently and with expertise (depth) in three or more non-adjacent domains (breadth), and have built the critical skill of applying concepts and frameworks in one domain to complex problems in other domains (integration). Polymath University empowers leaders and problem solvers to thrive in a more complex and technologically-enabled world.
RANGE Polymath University’s approach to education, and its namesake, is built on ensuring that graduates are curious, creative, collaborative, and critically-minded. Polymaths have been proven to be more creative and more adept at solving complex problems, and more resilient against economic shocks⁷. Building a broad, generalist field of knowledge and expertise, as opposed to the hyper-specialization that traditional higher education encourages, makes graduates more valuable in the world and workplace. According to a 2012 study of serial innovators⁸, polymaths are described as having a high tolerance for ambiguity and as systems thinkers. Polymaths can connect disparate pieces of information in new ways, making them highly effective at innovative problem solving. And they are adept at repurposing what is already available and synthesizing information from many different sources.⁹ A Future of Jobs report highlighted the following skills being increasingly demanded by employers (all of which polymaths excel at): creative thinking; analytical thinking; technological literacy; curiosity and lifelong learning; resilience, flexibility, and agility; and systems thinking.¹⁰
REAL-WORLD APPRENTICESHIPS Polymath University will partner with employers to ensure that its degree programs serve the talent acquisition needs of regional business and organizations, and that those degrees include skill development that is often short-changed by traditional universities. In years two and three, students will serve as apprentices with those employer partners in high-demand, early career roles. Across the country, more employers are building apprenticeship programs as a key part of their talent acquisition strategy, with Department of Labor registered apprenticeships doubling since 2010 to 250,000. Many of these employers pay some or all of the tuition for their apprentices to concurrently earn a college degree.
REMOTE Educational outcomes lead all other priorities for Polymath University, and we must hold this as our north star. This means that the most important activity for faculty will be teaching or the associated development through coaching and mentoring their students. As Polymath University is led by the former CEO of the Pat Tillman Foundation, and counts ten Tillman Scholars on its Advisory Board, the Tillman Scholar community will seed Polymath University’s initial set of faculty, drawing on their service and academic experiences to support student learning. Courses will be delivered remotely, but to same-city cohorts that will facilitate week-long immersive and collaborative in-person experiences as well as informal study groups throughout the year, unlocking persistent relationships and networks within our community.

Hello CyclePDX! I visited Portland for a conference a few weeks ago and heard about efforts to get better bike infrastructure and bus service on Division. I rode the FX2 out into the low 100s before heading back downtown and though I’m a confident cyclist, the Division bike lanes didn’t look all that pleasant. Do Portland cyclists like the design/is it something you use often, or do you try to find other routes?
Tbh I’m asking because I work in the industry & might be looking at some similar bike/bus setups on other projects in the future, and I know the staff who come up with a project will sometimes talk about how great it is even if the people using it don’t really like it, so looking for insights that aren’t so polished lol

I am currently working in the finance industry as an administrator. I have expressed that I am wanting to move forward in my education with the financial advisor I work with. I do have a minor in business management but have started to get more into finance within the last 5 years. I’m not entirely sure if being a Financial Advisor is my immediate next step as I do like being able to leave work “at the office”.
Out of much frustration with lack of support in advancing my career, I started studying for the SIE on my own. Within the last few months, the frustration has soon spread to the company and how they are compensating the administrators.
Recommendations on companies to work for? Or continuing career path? Obtaining my next license(Series 7) would require a firm sponsor.

Ever wondered why home bedding has gotten so much cooler and more customizable lately? It’s all thanks to digital printing! This tech is revolutionizing the bedding industry, and here’s why it’s such a big deal.

1. Endless Design Possibilities 🎨

Colors and Patterns Galore: Digital printing can handle any color and intricate patterns, unlike traditional methods that have limits. Imagine having bedding that looks like a work of art!
Customization Heaven: Want your own design, a favorite photo, or a unique pattern? Digital printing makes it possible. You can get bedding that's as unique as you are without breaking the bank.

2. Super-Efficient Production ⏱️

Faster Turnaround: No more waiting for ages. Digital printing skips the lengthy setup processes of traditional methods, so new designs hit the shelves quicker.
Less Inventory, Less Waste: Printing on demand means manufacturers don't need to stockpile tons of products. This reduces waste and storage costs, making it a win-win for everyone.

3. Eco-Friendly Vibes 🌍

Lower Waste Production: Digital printing uses just the right amount of ink and fabric, cutting down on waste. Plus, there are no screens or plates to make and clean, which means fewer materials and chemicals.
Saves Water and Energy: Traditional printing uses a lot of water and energy. Digital printing slashes that use, making it a much greener option.

4. Quick to Adapt to Trends 🔄

Rapid Prototyping: Spot a new trend? Digital printing lets manufacturers quickly create prototypes and get them to market fast, keeping up with ever-changing consumer tastes.
Small Batch Production: Perfect for trying out new designs without a huge financial risk. Manufacturers can test the waters with small runs and see what consumers love before going big.

Conclusion

Digital printing is a game-changer for home bedding. It offers unmatched design flexibility, production efficiency, environmental benefits, and the ability to quickly respond to market trends. So next time you pick out some new bedding, know that digital printing might just be the magic behind those awesome designs! 🌈🛏️
