Not sure where in Brazil you're from but I'm speaking mostly from an overhead cost perspective being that it doesn't require as much overhead to get the beans from x to y. Also, I agree that in the main cities of Brazil, the culture exists where people will pay a premium for American coffee (as sad as that is), but I know plenty of locals of Brazil who prefer their own coffee over Starbucks.

Honestly I can't speak affirmatively on Brazil but in general I would really expect the prices to be lower in South America as that is generally where the beans come from. Plus, I'm sure the people who live there prefer local coffee as compared to corporare Starbucks.

Honestly this chart is pretty misleading considering the current strength of the dollar and how much less popular Starbucks is in other countries. It's more of a novelty there so they can charge more. Starbucks is still ridiculously overpriced for what it is.

Tbh I always find these types of graphics to be so pointless to begin with. Not only do we not know if you're actually qualified for the jobs you applied to, we also know nothing on your interview skills. Therefore this data tells me zip zilch nada.
Also - whats pre-sales manager? I've done vendor management for years and Ive never heard the title. Is it like the person who sets up calls for the sales manager?

Hopefully you learned on starting to be more proactive in your job search as your only self-submitted ad led to a job offer.....

In that case, I suppose it could be explained by the number of indirect flughts fly through Miami, i.e. all the flights that stop by is not their end destination. I think FAA still accounts for that but not 100%.
Hope this does well in the project for you!

This isn't reflected in the visual at all. It looks like Miami and Orlando are the busiest. But according to the FAA, it should be Atlanta, LA, Chicago, in that order.

What's the time frame of the data? How does Asia have next to nothing for flight volume? Why does Miami seem so busy?

It's not about making the clone of the cd, it's about the piracy prevention built into the system itself.
For context, it used to be very common in the early days of disc consoles. Playstation 1 had some, let's say vulnerabilities. But Sony and Microsoft quickly patched it and it's been borderline impossible since. Though I'm sure someone has cracked the code if you look deep enough.........

First: you're making an assumption on the conversion methods. Two: those assumptions are wrong.
I cbf to elaborate with you but wanted to clear the air that your methodology is wrong.
