I had this happen and the company told each one that the other didn't submit my info so they were both convinced they had it. didn't matter in the end because the company sucked

marketing is bullshit but it has measurable goals at least, that job sounds hellish because the only thing they'll judge how good of a job you're doing is by how much you work

tbf that guy was completely right in every way, wish I could could find the article that was like "YEP he called it w/ social media" and i don't know if there's a more depressing case for loading the entire IT industry into a catapult and launching it off a cliff

quote:Next, Shingy stopped by the office of Erika Nardini, the chief marketing officer of AOL Advertising, and handed her an iPad Mini. “Wanted to show you a little brain fart I had on the plane,” he said. It was a cartoon he had drawn of a bear wearing zebra-print pants and a shirt covered in ones and zeros.

you have to admire the brazen way he performs his disappearing up his own rear end trick, all the while doing it so genuinely without a hint of mockery. it's really something to be amazed at

One of the goofballs that got fired from our work went to work for security AV vendor Cylance as a "wizard". Still can't figure out what he does. He also lied about his education (he went to college but didn't earn the degree)

hobbesmaster posted:they're trying to roll an FAE and a PM into one job I think? the tech evangelist I've worked with speaks at conferences, contributes to open source repos, and generally works on getting people aware and interested about stuff. its somewhat similiar to a solutions architect in that you are developing for the service as opposed to building the service.

At some conference recently i met a guy who worked in the office next to shingy, and I was like "oh my god what was that like"? and he just said "shingy spent the entire day on video calls with his wife and playing music really loudly."

Bhodi posted:i know tech job descriptions are garbage, but this is a new one on me it's a talky job where you also do quite a bit of software development. it turns out people who write software are much better at talking about software when you're trying to sell software to other people who write software.

the layout contractor we use is usually pretty good, but there are a couple spots where it's like "You understand this is supposed to be a ground plane and not an antenna, right?"

most places are paying EE's significantly more than $80/hr and would rather farm out the grunt work and have them spend an hour checking while doing more schematic work tho

JawnV6 posted:not an EE, just play one on the forums This is why I got my ex-boss/mentor to do the board layout for my new company. He has 30 years of experience, he likes money, he's a great friend, and he's a savant when it comes to power. Our new board going full blast eats less than 400mA of power. The LED's attached to it eat more than that. For 100 grand we got: Alpha boards Beta boards Gerber files 3D files Bed of nails Total parts on the board: just over 1,200. Total mishaps from Alpha: 4. Total changes between Alpha and Beta: 8 (we added a few things). Need for Gamma boards? No. Nepotism reigns supreme again! FlapYoJacks fucked around with this message at 23:43 on Apr 13, 2017 |
