apparently some of my coworkers rejected a prospective hire's code test because it used static classes having been here only a month, i was too terrified to ask how i made it through, considering that i used static classes as well

cis autodrag posted:just blanket like that? just straight up "static classes are bad, we pass"? ugh. it was unclear how much the static classes were an example of greater problems and how much they were considered a problem themselves for some context: the question is "here is a thing to do, write a class that implements it." the provided algorithm is stateless, so i (and maybe this other person, idk) decided to just make the class static. the reason this is "wrong" is that it's not di-able in the archetypal way. i hope that wasn't the entire reason they rejected it.

I think it might be an extremely misguided attempt to seem cool. all the technologies they list are real boring enterprise stuff like j2ee and spring, but the prose is like "free snacks, watch this video of us goofing around in the office, checkout these COOL CLIENTS of ours!" needless to say, I'm not actually applying.

on a scale of good to holy gently caress why, what's the consensus on moving to/living in the san fransisco area? i know id probably have to live way the hell outside the city to get any kind of decent housing for the family, but im coming from living in central florida so that seems like a fair trade its contract-to-hire work, but a decent wage and im already a contractor so its not a huge hit to my employment reliability. my current place is likely never going to unfreeze internal hiring anyway so basically, SF yes/no?

Let's look at the rest of the qualifications... i have a search saved on indeed for entry level positions, and my favorite so far has been "Ph.D and 3+ years of experience, or MS and 5+ years" although some have been senior positions wanting 7-10 years. you know, entry level!

i was once given a tour of an office in san jose after a lunch interview where they showed me a low partition separating a run of cubes that had a ledge running along it, kinda like bars sometimes do along a wall near pool tables where you can set your drinks down they called it the "standing collaboration area" and seemed real proud of it for some reason there was also a foosball table and a few game consoles in the break area hooked up to a tv, the newest of which was a wii (this was two years ago) in an office of ~40 people we have "a good mix" of EITs (fresh graduates) and experienced engineers here, he said

lancemantis posted:tbh I think I would want a Real Engineers office to be a serious environment i loved my company's old office. it was the boring cookie cutter turnkey "congrats on your lease here's an office" office with big cubes, tons of sound deadening, and acres of beige that we tried to spice up with a little paint. it was great and dead loving silent. we put sales off in their own corner with a big corridor of conference rooms in the middle so we couldn't hear them. new office is "lol, we're a startup!" and is loud as hell and I hate it. i really love what I do but I'm seriously considering interviewing again just to find some quiet again. a couple couches and a weird rope sculpture thing doesn't a sound barrier make. it's gotten so bad that sales can't hear themselves on the phone anymore and are leaking over into the engineering side seeking quiet while making calls. apparently we're finally going to invest in some sound deadening because our customers can't hear us anymore.
