it's like half people circle jerking about some event or saying things like "cant believe I'm leaving here #greatteam #thebest #career", about 40% people talking about "#lifestruggle and #bepositive" and 10% someone that used to be a dev that is now a personal trainer and keeps posting pics of herself flexing all the time lol

long story but I worked part time as a line cook at a bar just before covid and the last night before the first lock down, all of us including the manager got stoned in the foh, but closing duties weren’t finished yet. can not recommend emptying fryer oil while high

i know we were discussing this a page or three back, but i just came off of an interview where i waited in the Teams room for ten minutes after the meeting started (so about 15 minutes total) and no one showed. so i left. i wonder if i should send the meeting organiser a somewhat upset email

that sucked real bad

It's okay if you have any questions.


You should definitely let them know that you were there so you don't get blamed if the interviewers showed up somewhere else. Be polite and let them infer that you're unhappy.

i'm quite upset! i've never been ghosted like this before so i wasn't sure what i should be doing. i just sent the mail asking if there was any further interest in me and if it was just a scheduling error

for future reference I would not ever give voice to the idea that they might no longer be interested in you as a candidate.

Something like

"Hi, I was given $URL to meet you on zoom and I was there at 10am my time but no one showed up to the interview. Perhaps there was a scheduling error? Please let me know ASAP, as I would like to avoid a drawn-out interview process, and I'm sure you would as well."

This is good advice. Ideas can be contagious. Don't promote / introduce an idea unless you're OK with the idea becoming true.

Another thing l like about this: it gives the hiring manager a good way to save face, and leaves them room to maneuver in the conversation.

You could also try the classic bit of when a grocer tries to scan your groceries and they don't scan and you go "guess it's free!" except since they didn't show for the interview, it's "guess I'm hired!"

interviewing a super junior frontend dev today
asked them to tell me about a time they worked on a project and requirements changed mid-way through -- they tell me that's never happened because they always collect all the requirements up front
asked them to tell me about a time a bug slipped through the release process and how they adjusted the release process to catch similar bugs in the future -- they tell me they never let bugs slip through to production

i guess i should hire this person immediately. they sound like such a badass.

You can't spell 'vector field' without me, Professor!

if they're super junior, do those questions even make sense to ask

like I got asked "tell me about the worst bug you introduced" when I was interviewing for my first job while still in uni, so I had to invent a story about accidentally dropping a side project's prod database on the spot because what else was I gonna talk about

i'm not talking about fresh out of school junior -- this person claimed two years of experience. i'd expect at some point in your two years in industry you'd manage to ship a bug.

For super juniors I still ask those questions anyway - particularly for university grads, they'll have done project work for their degree that is likely relevant to it. If the answer is that it hasn't actually happened, it's easy to pivot into a hypothetical - "how would you respond if you were halfway through a project, and a stakeholder changed their mind about a key requirement?"

If they answer that the stakeholder is wrong and they're still going to build their original design, well, that probably tells you everything you need to know.

are there any tech pm roles that are more entry-level than Project Manager? a lot of postings i'm passing up attach a lot of emphasis as having worked specifically in software pm (and specifically in scrum), which i don't really have. is most pming just "coder forced to schedule until they literally can't do both anymore"?

i've only really seen that in construction postings (fun search collisions there). this of course could just be the state of tech jobs rn, but I have yet to see apm anywhere

project manager is a role that's really different org to org ime, it's hard to give general advice. except I think you should apply to the jobs you don't feel qualified for anyway

yeah, just wading through postings has given me a little more confidence to send out some reach apps, just being conscious of not wasting too much time on ones that will 100% hit the automated circular file
