I assume a compliance analyst is a dev adjacent role for verifying that WCAG accessibility is met, and possibly privacy, GDPR, security requirements as well.

It would be like legal meets QA meets full stack.

I’ve done projects in that area, but it was never my job. I’d do it as a consultant bc it’s EZ PZ once you understand what you are auditing for.

She has a Healthcare degree, she's not analyzing any frameworks lol

It's probably the same thing, except she's checking for privacy and healthcare regulation shit.

tl;dr she's a tester.

Compliance analysts often make sure that code is in compliance with things like government regulations or internal company security policies. They're part of the QA/QC (quality assurance/quality control) process. It's usually a pretty important job

No someone that did it. It was mainly sitting in meetings, and doing basic excel work from time to time. Actual decision were made above her head. Paid 120k/year and was just basic office work.

It’s says she has a healthcare degree so I assume she clicks “yes” on tickets saying they’re compliant w/r/t the various data requirement laws.

I have no clue, but for sure they are a pain in the butt and aim to frick up the way you work by adding meaningless meetings and requirements.

400+ a month for a car worth less than 20k is insane to me

Not too outrageous if she's on a 36/48 month loan. Better than the idiots getting 72 or even 84 month loans.

What are the odds she's actually on a 36/48 month loan though? The standard idiots get roped into is 5-7 years. Caleb needs to be asking these questions

Not gonna go back to look for the time stamp but he does ask - shes on a 72 month loan :marseylaugh:

She'd be in a great situation if she was capable of living a year or two not engaging in frivolous, unnecessary spending, but because she's a :marseykween: we all know that's not going to happen. 84k a year plus whatever child support she can wring from a baby daddy would be plenty to live off of, pay off her loans, and start investing in. But she's bad at budgeting and is slowly going to let interest tear her apart.

I would literally k*** her and wear her skin for 80k yearly.

look into conspicuous spending by race :marseysmug3: theres a reason BIPOCs have less money and its not racism :marseygucci:

Wow sweaty that's a bad take. Blacks have to spend more of their income to combat racism!

Blacks carry a stigmatized social identity on their body. This is why it is particularly important to them to display visible signals of high status (e.g. high-quality clothes), in order to counteract racism...

I haven't gotten over the initial bemusement that people are willing to live their life in ever-growing debt and present themselves to be berated about it. Odds are I'll be bored and watching something else within the next few months but for the moment it's still pretty interesting and not the worst way to waste my lunch breaks.

Lol why would you drain your 401k when you're allowed to borrow from it? I borrowed $25k from mine when I bought my house. It was a 5 year term at 6%. Paid it back in 3.
