I have a friend who was interviewing there but she wasn't super stoked on it so I told her "just say a really stupid number" and she texted me back like 2 days later just "welp"

is this exclusively about embdev at facebook or about embdev elsewhere too, because if it's the latter then i'd like to get back into embdev but the salaries and openings were pretty dismal last time i looked a few years ago.

hey maybe this is a good place to ask one thing about my job is that it’s a very well defined role and you just search for pharmacist and that’s it, you get a job anyway, I hate this poo poo and wanna move into something totally different is there a job that exists in the space between devs and the users? and surely there is development happening in the medical software space? I have a decade of frontline healthcare experience and I know that poo poo well (including all the poo poo that they put up with and the failures that happen because of it) and I am computer savvy enough to “get” computer stuff (and willing to get up to speed on this), and can communicate with both of those groups well. (working on making the UI/UX in this space would be the ultimate use of my skills I reckon) I assume roles exist in this space but I have no idea what to even look for or keywords or titles, or what I might need to do to get up to speed. if anyone feels like I’m worth giving a pointer to I’d be appreciate

it’s not like I’m dead set on the medical field, but on the surface it makes sense to make the most of my job experience I suppose I clueless though. I spoke to a recruiter this morning but they did recruiting for totally unrelated poo poo lol

medical software is all over the place because EHRs dominate everything and they are pretty universally trash since they're built for hospital administrators rather than for healthcare. every EHR is its own mini-SAP and once they have the EHR they wont buy any other software

your best bet is software used by 3rd parties to provide services to healthcare providers rather than providing that same software to the providers directly. but who knows, maybe with the right sales connections you could force your way into some provider networks

that’s good to know. having a “target” also means I suppose I can work out if there are any supportive skills to grow as far as I can tell “product owner” is an agile term or adjacent at least? it’s all stuff that’s utterly foreign to me, so I suppose being clueless ain’t gonna help me

oh idk where I implied that, I love learning stuff and the idea excites me just implying that I am currently clueless into the way day to day runs at all, and should probably try to do what I can extracurricular so I both know about and can show that I have a clue (even if it’s theoretical nor experience)

pharmacy is a workplace where the workload is immediately obvious and it’s just a matter of dispensing prescriptions and doing the necessary paperwork there’s nothing like sprints or planning or stories or whatever the heck

FAE or sometimes solution architect is generally the most technical of the jobs on the "sales" or "business" side. so for a job involving firmware and a piece of embedded equipment it'll generally assumed that you can write some C

I imagine the systems we have in nz are totally different if there was a dream job, it would be working on something like a central, state run, gold standard patient chart it does my head in that there isn't a master copy patient chart for all healthcare workers to point to instead what a patient should be on or doing is somewhat just derived from combining the latest set of prescriptions and notes, and hopefully coming to a conclusion that is correct.. anyway its a goal worth chasing for the good of patients, and you'd think it could exist in theory. idk if it ever will. but I would love to be part of a team who could make it happen, part of something that really did improve lives, because I see first hand how the lack of something like this causes a lot of misunderstandinds

in my company you can go 3 routes upward from senior: management, where you're assigned multiple teams to look after and it involves all the things you'd expect from management architecture, where you make nice plans that will never come to fruition, and make sure different products are aligned on tools and standards and whatnot tech lead, where you're in charge of a specific product and make sure devs don't gently caress it up

thanks. in my current place i my title is senior sde and tech lead role is p much filled already however its good to know that i should be shooting for staff sde in my interview processes because that matches what i am doing now and what i am interested in continuing to do also i feel like letting your prospective employer know what city you are in when looking for a remote position is like telling them a number. im in a middle of a process now for a full remote position but the company has an office in my city so the talk instantly went to 3 days on site per week my takeaway is that i need to be more strict about this in the future. they get my precise address when we do hr procedures after signing the deal. i should have no more patience for companies that care so much about what chair my rear end is in
