Anyone has attended Solarwinds interview as a Web Operation Engineer?@solarwinds

My SO got a job on the West coast and my company has been super adamant about people doing at least hybrid at some point (despite saying there’s not enough space for everyone lol). We joked about staging an engagement bc saying “my fiancé got a new job and we need to move” sounds way stronger of a case for remote work than “my boyfriend got a new job and I need to move”. What do y’all think? Fake the engagement or no?

I have an offer from Firm A and currently interviewing at Firm B. I really like Firm A and plan to accept their offer. Is it appropriate to tell Firm B that I would like to discontinue the interview process? I don’t want to waste their time.

Best place to get pre-qualified for a mortgage?

I have some collections on my credit report. One from an electric company for $800 (imo they violated terms of contract and sent me to collections in spite of their fuck up), and an apartment for $80~ that charged me a cleaning fee when my apartment was spotless.

Despite these two collections have a 712-720 credit score.

So mortgage lenders care at all about the collections or is it mostly the credit score that matters?

Weekly Hot take, the lack of couch Co-op is the reason gaming doesn't feel like it hits the same. I miss the days of bringing over the crew to play a game that isn't smash bros. One of my best memories is playing Tower fall with my college friends in my dorm.

Bought a bunch of PS4 games at start of quarantine and never got started. Between Fallout 4, Witcher 3, Uncharted 4, and The Last of Us, where should I start?

Does anyone still play StarCraft?

If you had to choose between Cyberpunk, Elden Ring, and Dying Light 2, which would you pick and why?

Xbox Series X/S or PlayStation 5 or stick with Xbox One?

I’m really liking DMZ mode in Warzone. I think they have some real potential with this game mode. I like that it’s not as sweaty as Tarkov but still has some elements of it. Still in beta but I hope they realize they have a potential gem here.
