I have to go in one day per week at the moment, it is actually pretty good for me. I like most of my colleagues and it's important to get to know people I don't work with directly. Post covid* we have more social stuff on, and it's nice going running or to the lake.

If you're recruiting for a cloud computing position, I want to know that you're doing this aware that I have no experience in the field, and that the position will include on-the-job training for it because it's more important that I've done C++ dev for several years, say, or anything else I have actually done. I can read companies` boilerplate job postings myself, I don't need that in my inbox. You could try including a passphrase in your profile. I'm not sure if its gauche , but something like 'Recruiters: include the phrase _______________ in your message to show you read my resume.'

My former boss went to go work at a biotech firm (from Manager to Director) and it looks like I'm going to follow her and take the manager role. Can somebody tell me more about RSUs since I've never had this before, and also is working for biotech good? My only complaint is that the interview process is Recruiter My bosses boss (since my boss hasnt started yet) 4 person panel interview (might be separate interviews - not sure) Follow up call with my bosses boss. Why the gently caress do I have to talk to 7 people to do a job?

I don't know if 7 is unusual? When we hire, it's Manager, team (4 people) and product/project (1-2 usually).

Yeah, 7 is high but on the normal range of high. At my company it's recruiter + 3-4 more. I usually don't hire managers but for managers it'd probably be 7+ actually. RSUs are basically stock you get now but can't sell for x number of years (typically something like you get 1/3 of the grant every year). Something to watch, if they don't take taxes out up front, you will owe tax on the entire stock when you sell it. If they do take it out, then whatever the stock is worth at grant date is your cost basis moving forward. Biotech is fine. They are usually a little more tight fisted but also can have rapid growth.

A typical RSU grant has a length and vesting schedule and potentially a cliff. They'll tell you the total value and you want to normalize to yearly so divide by the length. Common schedule are monthly, quarterly and bi yearly. It's also common to have a one year cliff where no stock vests for the initial year and then vests in a lump at the one year mark. They also tend to be under withheld and so you'll probably owe money at tax time. I'm less familiar if the company isn't public and gives RSUs. I think it's common that the company puts a second trigger so they don't vest until a liquidity event because you owe taxes when they vest. I don't quite know how this functions if you leave so that would be something to look into. asur fucked around with this message at 19:23 on Jun 12, 2022 |

We're private with RSUs and they do liquidity windows a few times a year. Price is set by some valuation process with an external firm.

I think 7 is a more than fair number for a senior role, if anything its positive. Plus two of them are director level, maybe even some of the other 4 too. Looks likes a serious application to me good luck with it.

So I've encountered the occasional application interface that does the obnoxious "this field is required" thing with a couple dropdowns where you have to pick number/currency/time for your minimum pay requirement, one that doesn't let me type in "equal to my peers doing the same work with similar skills and experience" or some other evasion. I'm a new grad in a field extremely competitive for new grads (registered nursing) and ive been poor my whole life so id literally take anything, so i knew enough to disregard my own judgement and just stuck in a value on the low end of the salary estimate for RNs in that area from a couple different employment websites. Considering how heavily unionized nursing is in California, it's not likely to even matter, but I was curious what the advice is for these annoying electronic-forced-answers in the future.

12 separate interviews is insane. I think our current process has four steps/seven people and I feel like it's maybe a person or two too much. If multiple people at the same level need to be involved, it better be via a panel.

There was a phone screen, then a couple of individual interviews, then a round of five, then a few more individual ones have rolled in over the past month or two. I’m not doing any more but it’s been good interview experience even if I don’t get the job. I’m currently employed so not in a hurry.

When I was right out of college I was interviewing for a like, administrative assistant position or something similarly low and the interview process was back to back 1 on 12 interviews (I assume the whole department). Just a dumb waste of time for them, probably good I didn’t get the job.

Pillowpants posted:I work in Payroll which is a bridge between finance and HR so it makes sense. I'm more confused about the scientist. Eh, makes sense if it's a technical job. The scientist might be totally unrelated to the position, but if they're hiring a, for example, lab tech then it might be useful to have someone in the room who knows what questions to ask to tell if the applicant has the technical chops. A couple of jobs ago I got hired right after they had a disastrous clusterfuck involving someone who straight up lied about their credentials. The job needed someone with a PhD in Applied Basket Weaving, this person said they had a PhD in Applied Basket Weaving, and they did not. They had a loving Bachelors in Basket Weaving Studies. Did terrible work, were painfully obviously out of their league whenever someone tried to talk to them, and basically skated by avoiding conversations until someone else managed to pin them down and ask some things that made it loving CLEAR they'd never been to grad school. I think they lasted a month and a half before it all blew up. It was, as you can well imagine, a giant huge thing. This was contract work so the client was loving NOT happy that they had been paying $PhD for a contractor and that they hadn't been provided that. It's a loving miracle they didn't lose the contract right then and there. Anyways, after I got hired in addition to my actual duties I had a secondary title with a bit of extra cash just to vet academic resumes for the company. Literally all they needed was someone to look at an academic's resume and sanity check it to make sure it wasn't just a tissue of lies and deceit. I also got pulled in on a few interviews as well, and it was just me doing fingers and toes checks to make sure it wasn't another fraudulent not-a-PhD.

I really want to know more about the thought process on both sides here. Like, how did the candidate expect the job to go once they'd bullshitted their way in? But also, it sounds like the company never even considered the possibility that someone might lie on their resume? And also, no other part of the interview process caught that the candidate was grossly underqualified?

Is there not a part of the interview where they ask some basic questions about their job to see if they know what the gently caress it is they're doing? Or a background check at some point? What are you even asking during an interview if not how well the candidate can do their job? e: Actually, I had a candidate this week when asked what skills he brought to the team, he said "All the ones you need." And he couldn't remember any details about a project on his resume because it was too long ago. However, I chose to not hire him rather than take him on his word that he could do everything we wanted! bamhand fucked around with this message at 18:31 on Jun 14, 2022 |
