Sorry, I probably could have phrased my question better. What you described sounds like exactly what I'm looking for; thanks for the info!

Seeker Experience: ~2.5 years mixed experience. I have experience working with hardware and software, mac and windows (XP through 10), imaging, etc. My most recent position was doing security stuff for an ISP. I'm networking+ certified.

Education: Associate's in computer science (never used programming in a professional environment) What I'm looking for: Entry to mid-level stuff in internal IT.

Looking again: Job Seeker Experience: 8 years in actual IT, before that tech support/customer service. Professional focus has been mostly on Windows, building large enterprise systems, MSSQL clusters and the 3-tier architecture. Solid experience with ESX and virtualization in general. The past couple years have been spent as a systems engineer doing more architecture and design work, and I'd like to continue this trend. Currently trying to branch out into cloud, I have an AWS Solutions Architect cert but no production experience with AWS. I also have an RHCSA, but likewise no production Linux experience Education: Bachelors in Information Technology Management from WGU, AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate cert, RHCSA What I'm looking for: Engineer or architect role doing primarily systems architecture and design. Willing to accept a more operationally-focused role if it gets me hands-on with AWS. What I'm NOT looking for: Contract or contract-to-hire. Got a family, need benefits. Where I'm looking: Austin, TX When can I start: I'd be moving to Austin, so I'd really like to wait until the end of the school year (I have kids), but can move sooner than that for the right opportunity with relocation assistance Contact: PM or raaghassi at gmail I'm not in a hurry to jump ship, so if anyone has contacts with recruiters or headhunters in Austin, I'd appreciate the networking opportunity. I have until the end of the summer to make up my mind about moving, and I want to take my time and find a good opportunity.

We aren't necessarily hiring remote people unless you are an absolute rock star. And by rock star I mean we have only one guy who works remote and there's probably a handful of people in the country who know more about Cassandra than him.

We pay you up to two weeks to quit.  While we have our "unlimited time away from work" program it's basically Comcast in vacation plan format. It's unlimited unless you want to take more time than the policy literally spells out at 2x 3 week vacations. Tech companies are awful, can't just leave the program as-is, gotta check the boxes to keep up with the joneses. Our vacation program is now something like a 2 week cap accrued 1 week a year? So you don't want to hire me?

We have a ping pong table, yes. We also have a foosball table. Too bad no one plays foosball and there's only 4 or 5 guys who play ping pong (in an office of ~100). Tech people are spoiled. Boulder tech people can be the worst, they like to get this heir of superiority because it's not quite as bad as silicon valley. Hell, there's worse poo poo here. Remember how Apple, Google, Adobe, Facebook and others got dinged bad in court for having non-poaching agreements? Boulder's got that in spades. H110Hawk posted:So you don't want to hire me?

So why is it a perk when it sounds like it boils down to being an unspoken race to the bottom against your colleagues for who can take the least time off? Every time I've asked someone to ballpark estimate how much time their people actually use with these policies, I receive a dodgy non answer which gives off a red flag impression. Telling me "a reasonable amount" is no better than a canned line like "we have competitive benefits."

Telling me "a reasonable amount" is no better than a canned line like "we have competitive benefits." It's not a perk in my opinion. If you read my recent posts and think I like the idea of an unlimited vacation policy you should re-read them. I tell people in interviews I do not agree with the policy and neither should they. I then go on to tell them that on TechOps we (now) encourage 2x 3 week vacations a year, scold people who attempt to contact you on a vacation, scold you if you are contactable/online (email, IM), and suggest that even if you can't make it away somewhere that you just take the time to sit at home and play video games. Burn out is real, and people who don't take vacations are not people I want to work beside. We are also very flexible around you having a family, though our new parent leave policy is behind the curve compared to other tech companies, which admittedly are swimming in lakes of money. Right now the official policy is whatever the state mandates. Which is improving over time as of late, they got rid of the bullshit 5-day waiting period after a 2 year waiting period among other things. (Google "california paid family leave 2016")

Another big issue with unlimited vacation is that unused PTO days are not paid off to the employee when the employee quits or is fired. That is the real reason so many companies are jumping on the bandwagon: it makes a big positive impact on company cashflow, especially if there's a lot of turnover. So not only is it a race to the bottom in terms of who can take the fewest days off, but also a way to ensure not getting a nice chunk of change when your employment is over.

Yeah, but after spending years living around downtown Denver, no one sucks worse than the entitled boomer suburbanites in Lakewood and Littleton. I would like to also point out, I don't think H110Hawk nor myself are advocating not to apply for either of our companies because unlimited PTO policies are bullshit. I certainly really like my company. I've been here less than a year and I've gotten a huge boost in learning a lot of big data technologies that I had no experience with going in. We have some really great people with a lot of diverse backgrounds. We have a really nice WFH policy and most managers are pretty lenient on working in the office. Unlimited PTO is a sham unless you actually loving use it. Does it suck not being paid out when you leave? Sure. But if you're taking even staycations for a week every other month, you come out on top.

But if you're taking even staycations for a week every other month, you come out on top. The point is that, in companies with unlimited PTO, there is usually cultural pressure to not take PTO days. If Employee A thinks "hmm, I have unlimited PTA, I'm going to take a week off every other month" and Employee B chooses to not take any vacation and work his rear end off instead, guess who looks better in the eyes of management. That's the unspoken part that most people (especially HR) won't even recognize. This is why it's much better if everyone gets the exact same amount of PTO days and it's a hard number.

Howdy, I sent a msg to cforrester about working at Bigcommerce, and figured I would tell everyone else. I work at a company here in Austin called Bigcommerce, and we are hiring for all types of developers, product designers, product managers, etc. Good news! All four locations are hiring: San Francisco, Sydney, Austin-Downtown, and Austin-West. https://www.bigcommerce.com/careers/#jobs About us: We are a SaaS company offering a complete webstore solution. Imagine if your dream was to sell clothes for cats ... online. We would help you fulfill that dream. Benefits are pretty solid. Company was founded in Sydney so we have inherited a lot of European-esque benefits/PTO policies, e.g. 15+ paid days off, 7 paid sick days, 2 paid volunteer days. If anyone is interested, please check out the website, and throw me a message here in SA. I will then talk to recruiting, and begin the process.
