Recruiters jump into overdrive when the new year starts. New budgets are set and everyone is back in the office. 1 Year is generally the minimum acceptable period of time. Just have your answer for why you’re leaving down pat.

Just have your answer for why you’re leaving down pat. that's my favorite part of this new wave - "q: why are you looking for a new job?" "a: well I'm not really looking  but you guys called me and sounds like an interesting challenge"

if you have a record of hopping every 6 months for like 2-3 years then yeah it looks bad. a couple of 1yr+ jumps honestly it happens and really nobody thinks too much of it. the software engineer market is pretty tight so many companies take what they can get unless it's pretty egregious.

I guess im hopping on the 'my phone is listening to me' cultural brain virus I was chatting with friends about how the bay are is 'meh' and for what I'm making now I might as well be living back in NYC where I can buy an entire goddamn apartment building for the cost of a house in the Bay Area. My weekly 1-on-1 with my manager the next day was about the things they're assigning me to this year so they can promote me to the next salary level.

2 years ago I was essentially paycheck-to-paycheck. Somewhere in that timeframe something changed because I logged into my company stock account and unironically mumbled to myself 'that's weird, I wonder where that extra $12k came from' and just went about my day and now I've mildly horrified myself at the thought I got changed by the money.

Corla Plankun posted:back at it again with the word-choosing: I really like that my company reviews every piece of code that goes out, and my teams have also been opening architecture design reviews to anyone on the engineering team who's interested. a surprising amount of companies don't do either so saying that you not only do it but were responsible for implementing it is definitely a strong positive imo. and yeah that sentence is fine

I was hit up by the vp of product for a software company to "lead their automation and cloud infra" strategy for their full product stack based on some work I did with their product that outclassed anything they had been able to come up with. "know that you can ask for what you need" was the comment. that exciting role eventually morphed into applying as just another sr dev in the product dev team under a sr dir who was not too excited that I would want to maintain my industry profile. regardless, I decided to continue forward thinking I could fix it in post. I do a coding challenge, turn it in with all the things they love about my work, and the final "interview" is three hours of their leads asking me best practice questions. 6 weeks pass. I decide to email the vp and the sr dir since it's once thing to play cool, another to signal disinterest. got an email from the sr dir the next day about how strong a candidate I was, but they were able to find someone local within their budget (granted, I did ask for +80k outside their hiring range). but still, that seems lovely. "reach out to the vp, he has other roles for you" says the sr dir. bitch, he has my number, he can call me if he has something now that he knows what I cost. interviewing is garbage.

and I spent all the holidays centering on what was causing me such angst at my current, objectively great job, and was determined to try and fix it. short answer- lovely boss needs me to do great things so he can look good that simultaneously wishes I needed to look up to him for guidance, and is low key upset I don't. he also doesn't manage any of his reports, so they come to me for guidance. I'm fine with that, but its tiring carrying everyone in his reporting org, and providing the technical muscle, and dealing with an org that is absolutely hostile in its resistance to change despite the directive coming from the C-suite. god I am tired. the one vp I would go to for guidance on this situation is leaving, so now I don't know how to fix this outside of the "gently caress you all I'm out" path. but I would much rather just actually take the ownership of my space (since I'm already carrying the responsibility). but that won't happen while my boss is my sole "advocate".
