jony neuemonic posted:not sure where you're at but yes, that sounds absurdly low for contracting. you should be able to get (at least) that as a regular employee in any decent market. yeahhhh. that's what I thought. i am just getting out of my bachelors, but I have a few years of working doing programming stuff from before that. also, it's based out of san jose, sooooo low for the area.

FrozenVent posted:am i the only one who reads "unlimited vacation" as "no vacation"? yes. it means it's the kind if environment that has no work-life balance and everyone is expected to be working all the time. I mean, you could take a vacation, but it looks bad because everyone else is always busy and you should be too.

also unlimited vacation sounds like a great way to eliminate fixed PTO buckets and the associated legally required payouts when the employee leaves for unused balances

phone interview tomorrow, I was going to just step out of the office for it but now I'm wondering if it's going to involve a coding test and I'll need to be at a computer. The guy didn't mention anything about that though so I'm going to assume it isn't yet
