a neighbour tore down a nice old brick house and replaced it with what looks like a black paper square. I hated looking at that ugly "modern" thing

jre posted:lol no I mean depending on where you are. 50k area for senior isn't too unusual where I am, but it's the UK equivalent of I dunno Idaho or something. Senior developers in London make rather more than that. Also, bear in mind the pound used to be worth like $1.60, post-Brexit-vote it's now more like $1.20, but mysteriously we didn't all get 25% pay raises to compensate. feedmegin fucked around with this message at 12:08 on Jul 26, 2017 |

These take home assignments are getting pretty old. I think I burned out from doing that other one which was like 6/7 hours long.

It's just annoying sometimes when the requirements are so vague and incomplete and you have no idea what they are expecting you to submit. I once got an assignment to implement a turing machine and they gave me a "test case" with no expected output, and there was a whole bunch of edge cases that they didn't specify the behaviour for. In the end you just make up a bunch of presumptions and trade offs and hope you're correct, which is dumb.

It's weird that I have to explain this, but if I get given a vague spec IRL in a job I immediately find out what I do and don't know about the project and then find out who I need to speak to find out the things I don't know and then liaise with them. If no-one knows/cares, then I make my best judgement based on what I think and then run with it, circling back to the stakeholders every so often to make sure it's what they actually want. I don't just get a spec and make dumb guesses on everything. When you get a timed coding assignment, you expect things to be reasonably clear and if they're not, you expect it not to matter at all. You don't have time to be emailing back and forth, which is the downside of not doing these problems live with the interviewers in person.

Easiest tech assignment so far, a few "fix this code" questions in C++ and python. Even got some C++11 features in there for good measure.

I also emailed some other job that I done an onsite interview for a couple of weeks ago but who I suspected ghosted me. Turns out my suspicions were true and they had moved forward with another candidate without sending the rejects a courteous notification.

If you don't get one then honestly to me it screams of arrogant management who may be a pain to deal with if you did actually get hired.

That's why it's good to work in pre or post sales and visit as many clients as possible to preview other environments before jumping ship.

dragon enthusiast posted:you don't lol at presenting career advancement as quitting. mobility is leverage that gets you better conditions, whether or not you exercise it. if your employer recognizes your value, they should give you equal value to retain you (in whatever form, money, working conditions, ball pits). you move around until you find the right fit for you, and you stay there until it isn't right anymore. if you're just looking to quit all the time people will notice and let you go.

Yah this is true. I've made a point at staying in jobs for at least several years, it looks much better on a resume and shows a degree of integrity and loyalty. I was once given a resume of a guy who had 3 or 4 different companies on it within the space of 2 years (not contract positions btw, that would at least be understandable), and he was applying to us which would've made 5 companies in 2 years if we'd hired him. It just looks really lovely and the motivation to actually hire is very low unless we can guarantee they'll be productive for at least 6 months. We didn't hire him in the end because he was actually an ultra lovely candidate. qhat fucked around with this message at 20:59 on Jul 27, 2017 |
