HackerRank not showing why a test failed in the middle of a timed interview quiz is highly stressful.

protip when they send you a link to a hackerrank send them back an email that says "we've decided to take this job search in a different direction, thanks for your time, dont email, peace"

the one time I want to use the LinkedIn jobs site it is hopelessly broken. literally can't apply for a job from the site or the app. this is your entire loving purpose LinkedIn, jfc

LinkedIn is a social network for thinkfluencers to evangelize their Hot Takes and people to build even more superfluous professional networks than they ever would in real life now, what's this job ads thing

LinkedIn is for finding out where your colleagues went to and then hitting them up for jobs. also a bunch of self marketers will post stupid poo poo there but I don't know why anyone would want to read any of that.

how many figgies?

living in a 2br-1b walkup would be a totally reasonable thing an upper middle class computer toucher 4 person family would do in NYC

CoL is a retarded equivalency because dumb people do the math like: 'I live in a 3k sft house, my mortgage is $1500/mo thus in NYC I would need to pay $15000 a month for 3k sft in SoHo, I make 70k, thus I should make 700k in NYC' :riker:

oh yeah, if it doesnt make sense then don't do it.

i'm just going against the usual grain of this thread and saying sometimes it is acceptable to make compromises if it gets you where you wanna be.

that sounds about right. its around $2500 in san jose, so id imagine it's more in sf

well, i dunno about non-garbage. but last time i looked, a 1br (i.e. not a studio) was around that much

Got promoted today. Job search deferred.

Need to wait a week to hear the official comp change amount but from looking at our internal pay sharing spreadsheet I can expect ~25k more in salary, a similar amount in bonus, and a similar amount in additional yearly RSU grants.

a resignation letter shouldn't be more than "I resign (job) as of (date)", who cares if it gets forwarded around
