I wrote some terrible pseudocode at the second stage of a dev interview. Was absolutely 100% sure I was going to fail because I screwed up one of the requirements of the brief. This was one of those things I realised after the fact. Somehow I still got through to final interview? So either they have money to burn talking to me, they were impressed by my CV, or they are just doing it to laugh at my stupid code in my stupid face.

That's a pretty good adult test. If they can't come up w/ an office appropriate joke there's probably something wrong w/ them.

you could always play dumb if it comes up as a blemish on your resume and ironically that could actually boost your odds a bit 'this guy is totally morally blind! he's perfect!!'

totally dumb question: should i even bother getting my bachelors? I have some dumb 2year AAS in Network Security which was mostly noise about ad in windows server 2003 which has literally zero to do with my six-figure SRE gig I have now i have enough credits to have a junior standing at u-Wisconsin when I dropped out to move back to chicago i think at this point it's probably personal achievement more than anything I'll probably go to u-illinois Chicago if I do go back

H.P. Hovercraft posted:you only have defined titles and a set salary band if your job has a public counterpart or is otherwise dictated by industry standards and/or union regulation you may have it a little bit backwards on the title thing at my last job i was a "director" because that was the minimum title available for my pay band. in HR's eyes, i was a grade 27 full time resource, so my minimum job title was "director." no one paid that much could fail to have important corporate responsibilities, right?  it was dumb though. i never printed "director of hufflepuff fuckstickery" on my business card because i was not a manager and had zero reports. i just made up a title for my biz card / resume.
