jre posted:How much extra are you going to ask for being the oldest person on the floor ? good question. I was going to name an obscenely high value but then I did the math and it's only +35% above my base. their total comp is structured differently so it's hard to compare, but basically I should ask for a lot more.

hifi posted:i talked to a recruiter and literally the next week he hosed off to be an account manager at yelp. i 've had a few interviews at places since thanks to some inside buddies and one of them didn't want to talk to me since i didn't have any experience with tdd and the other one was just a culture fit interview and the guy rambled on about scratch and sniff wallpaper and i probably said maybe a dozen words total and i had to ask my guy to beg hr with what was up (nothing, not a culture fit). and then i went into a spiral of depression. today i looked at linkedin jobs and the first one under entry level wanted a masters degree and 5 years experience to do jr java ecommerce stuff. i think i'd rather be a shadetree plumber at this point talk to recruiters until you find one that isn't a shithead and let them do the hard work for you

idk how job offer poo poo goes but for my new job they had me edit my online application cause I had an old (irrelevant) job on my PDF resume that I hadn't populated onto their database then they had to create a new job posting for me to apply to because supposedly it wouldn't let them extend the official offer at the verbally agreed upon salary level

I've managed to wrangle a business relationship out of this resignation that has led to an open-ended "next time you're looking I want first dibs, name your price" from a company I had been casually talking to.

I just can't concentrate when there's time pressure. anyway lol owned. there goes my high from acing last week's way harder interview.

I've only had a post-interview test once and it was for a company where I had an outright abusive interview and I wasn't going to take the job if offered. I didn't get an offer which was kind of sad because I would have torn into the recruiter about how bad their interviews are "why did you work for company x, then y and z?" "I enjoyed y and z, they were okay places with great people" "I'm not here to stroke your ego, those places are terrible. why have you made so many terrible life decisions?" I'm pretty sure I called this guy an rear end in a top hat to his face during this we have programming tests too but they're sent beforehand and you have days to complete them at your own pace.

da beeper king BABY posted:I just spent like four loving hours on a programming assignment for a company I'm not even especially interested in. The upside of this is that the follow-up interview was 20 minutes long and just consisted of questions about the code I submitted, which is a lot easier than trying to solve a new problem on the fly.

this morning's phone call: recruiter: so we have this online tool to start with. I can send you a link and you have 24 hours to do it. me: I don't know when I'll have free time, why is it only 24 hours? rec: because that's what our system does me: why? rec: because we don't want you sharing that link. I can send it to you any day you want, let me know and I'll set a reminder to send it that morning.
