kinda wishing that i could quit my job and focus on prepping for interviews full time but obvs that's the dumbest possible decision, to forego income to cram whiteboarding questions all day and read CLRS, so instead I'll do InterviewBit or some other fluffy technical questions prep site

got an onsite set up for next week, and a recruiter called me yesterday for another position where the lower end of the salary range would still be a 10k bump. my current company is gonna be in a world of hurt for a while without me, I may need to have ambulance waiting outside in case my boss has a heart attack when I drop notice.

The Management posted:then they should be doing everything they can to keep you happy and not even needing to search for a new job. why aren't they doing that? because my boss is incompetent, we have half the staff we should for the amount of people/infrastructure we support, and I'm not doing the extra half an hour to my commute that our new building at the end of the year will add.  I have on paper that I'll be getting a 7% raise in March and my potential bonus is greatly increased, but I'm not sticking around for another year of this bullshit since they only pay out if you're employed through the end of the year. our network admin walked away from their bonus when they quit in November because they hated it so much.

I got my first one halfway through my second month. manager just called me up all 'hey yeah your objective for the first year is to ramp up and you're doing fine so gj' ten minutes later my phone blorps to tell me that a deposit into my account was made. really didn't think I'd care about that element at all but it's real nice having an employer have confidence in their end of the deal- enough that they don't attach all sorts of strings to stuff like that

triple sulk posted:SO is the one I will unequivocally recommend every time. Most of the companies on there will be smaller but there's usually a number of good options depending on what sort of position/location you're looking for and they make remote opportunities very clear. VOTE YES ON 69 posted:HN who's his hiring + the yc alumni job posts are all pretty good. Weworkremotely is good for remote. so this is really loving important right at the outset. decide what is important to you. the same approach is not gonna work for small and large companies, and the outcomes will not be the same when you hire on. the experience is radically different, and how you look for a job is gonna change
SO and HN seem pretty fuckin dead-on targeted at small business and startups, so, hope that aligns with your career goals Notorious b.s.d. fucked around with this message at 02:36 on Jan 14, 2017 |

another key thing: every special request you add to a job search extends the job search big requests:
asking for any one of these things will double your job search. doing two might double it again. doing three, gently caress, just sign up for food stamps now and save yourself the trouble any one of these will also complicate salary negotiations, since they all raise risks for your prospective employer

Maximo Roboto posted:is there any way to get paid as much if not more than a dev, but not be a tech. generally the alternate suggestions are these careers typically start in technology. they don't gotta but that's how it usually goes Maximo Roboto posted:* recruiter these don't, but not very many recruiters make the big bucks. external recruiters who found recruiting firms (i.e. boiler rooms full of 20 somethings "paying their dues") get rich. who else does? i've never heard of a tech writer making dev pay. is that a thing ?

jony neuemonic posted:any recommendations for targeting large companies? or is it just hit their careers page and hope? target your resume carefully. make sure you have buzzwords both in body text and in the buzzword section (for applicant management systems) also bother to write a cover letter. it doesn't have to be long or elaborate, just, you know, more than nothing this advice applies to any company, but big companies can afford to be pickier. they have more applicants and more money to spend JewKiller 3000 posted:know someone who already works there to get you past HR also this you would be surprised at how many people you probably have a connection to at a big company. look some poo poo up on linkedin, ask a friend to introduce you to another friend. buy a coffee/beer, you'll get an employee referral tout suite
