Working through recruiters for even mildly technically challenging work sucks because i cannot have a basic conversation about the work itself. I need to ELI5 to the recruiter how I fit he requirements for the job so that I can hopefully get to a real interview to actually talk about the work. then i find out from the actual hiring manager that the recruiter has no idea what the job entails and i am definitely the wrong candidate.

this comes after retyping my resume for their application process.

this is a huge part of the problem that i empathize with. i can get interviews at a rate of about 75-100 cold applications to one phone screen and 90% don't even send an auto rejection any more. but i can get interviews at all which is better than some people.

then even when i get a screen, the recruiters don't understand anything even if they work at an engineering-heavy company, and i absolutely cannot reasonably explain what i worked on without being unbelievably generic to which point it doesn't sound important. then even the hiring managers themselves are awful most of the time. the worst part are the generic questions relating to product work, because "it depends" is objectively the correct answer for all of them and that's not good enough

my biggest pet peeve are product titles not meaning anything at all so it's hard to even know if you're a fit for a role depending on what a given company thinks that role should be

at some companies you're actually working on defining roadmap and talking to customers. at others you're a glorified scrum master or writing engineering tickets for some godforsaken reason

so you're familiar with the idea that people have a boss and the boss says "lets do this" or "lets make that" and the employees do this or make that. normal stuff before the explosion of service or non-productive productivity took over america.

what you're looking at is when around 65% of jobs are unnecessary so an almost incomprehensible amount of "process details" are added in to make those jobs feel necessary.

So just lie and say you did exciting things?

Or just repeat phrases from the job listing.

Don't listen to me I have worked at the same place for 12 years and don't get callbacks for the smattering of things I am qualified for that pay more than my job now.

Lower your standards a lot and start looking for jobs that pay about a fifth of what you were making assuming you are a software engineer or it manager

Those 60k/yr jobs might look like garbage to you but it's what the rest of the industry is making and is probably going to be the new normal for programmers when the dust settles anyway

I used to design/qualify equipment for 3000m operation and the kind of dramatic hull failure you think about is pretty rare. Its far more likely that O-rings or other seals and feedthroughs were wrong sized / fatigued / or snagged a lip and cut during installation. These kinds of failures can start as small leaks that quickly become a 5000psi pressure washer blast and may actually just slowly fill the tube with freezing water. What Im saying is that its very likely these people knew they hosed up.

I wouldn't be surprised if BAH in the PNW is below the going rate for the area given inflation. Isn't BAH capped?

it’s set on a per year basis. I worked on part of the rate setting activity from 2006-2009 and while I don’t know what the process looks like today, to provide input for the annual survey that drives the rates took 25-50% (despite being identified as a collateral duty) of my time to actually do it correctly and get a large enough sample size of rentals across all the mandated anchor points, while also learning how to use ArcGIS to set up exclusion zones.

I don’t think it’s capped beyond whatever the set point is, but it’s definitely a focal point with HASC/SASC and the various service chiefs because as has been correctly surmised here not sheltering your military leads to suboptimal outcomes

that said there’s a lot of moralization attached to the process and item generally so you get wildly different qualities of outcomes between services

this hotel in particular looks like it might one of the public-private venture or NAF operations which are both festering shitheap a that serve to funnel public funding into questionable things, though to a much smaller magnitude than all the weapons and service contracting
