It makes you appreciate how nice it is to be surrounded by people who actually know what the gently caress they're doing, or at least earnestly trying to know, so it's not just you all the time picking up the massive amounts of technical debt.

I’ve worked in a functional software company. biggest problem is they got bought out by private equity and went to absolute poo poo. so even when you find a good one, it’s not gonna last. new job (start the 12th!) seems to be a great place, and I’ve got a lot of friends inside already telling me it’s great. here’s hoping.

Even worse it was an interview for an internal position. Or maybe even better because now I know their department head is a nutcase

I had an interviewer grill me on college for some dumb reason. #1 i graduated 14 years ago, #2 in a major completely unrelated to computer touching. I couldn't even remember any of the names of my professors. I played a lot of ultimate frisbee though!

I like interviews like that because it makes it very clear that the company and interviewer have no real hiring process and are just reading off a script.

CEO did this to me once, tried to use my decade old UK grades (which by the way are forcibly bell curved around 60-70 ish by the universities there) as leverage in salary negotiations.

spoke with a recruiter who wanted two references so he could do a “quick” 15 minute interview with them. Before submitting me anywhere. I don’t know who the gently caress hates their references enough to say yes to that. I assume the recruiters are doing it because references will feel obligated to help out their friends and the recruiters can take the opportunity to sell a used car or whatever it is they do

after sleeping on it i think i'm just gonna accept the offer when i get home and only continue pushing for the raise if my boss brings it up. i made it clear that i was underpaid and HAVE been underpaid since i started and getting back 'hopefully it'll be fixed in six months' isn't acceptable. it's a real shame because all other aspects about working here have been great and would be enough to get me to overlook a pay gap but not one this severe ah well

i'm on what's essentially an all-expenses paid extended vacation in singapore soo edit: also yeah during our call i made it clear that six months was too long and that if he could speed up the process he should. he responded by saying he'd do what he could but to not jump ship without reaching out to him first. i took that as him saying 'yeah we can speed this up but won't unless you threaten us even more explicitly' PIZZA.BAT fucked around with this message at 16:32 on Aug 2, 2019 |
