triple sulk posted:"it depends" is objectively the correct answer for all of them and that's not good enough it sucks. i'm trying to stay optimistic because I've had some really really good interviews so i know the work is out there, but the current trend of "a wall of recruiters" makes it discouraging to keep looking. my cover letters are basically "please look at my work examples for gently caress's sake that's all that matters!" then i spend an hour talking to someone anyways explaining how a computer works.

Acelerion posted: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 think we're being too pessimistic. Like, what if one occupant of the Titanic submersible killed the others? That would give them a few more days of oxygen, right? That'd be my move right off the bat. If they rescue you, you can make up whatever story you want.

i had one interview with a pm who gave a hypothetical case study scenario of "executive wants [feature] because clients asked for it" and i'm supposed to put down thoughts/questions etc about doing it or not doing it (hint: no matter what, we were gonna say yes in this exercise). so i had questions in no particular order like - how much are the customers worth? do we have sales and usage data to derive signals from? if they're a very tiny customer, it might be more of a wishlist item than a six figure one - what are the use cases for them? - do we have previous asks? - where does this fit into the company roadmap? - what are major technical tradeoffs/how difficult on paper would it be to implement? - is this something about the ask that stems from user error and doesn't need to exist with proper guidance/docs? - are there existing features that are higher priority than this or would be more impactful to focus on first? nothing but evasive "i don't know" type responses to poo poo like sales. like you're a loving saas or whatever, you should know exactly how much is being used and how much you're charging. this is important i was eventually told i lacked structure, whereas it's a completely ambiguous bullshit situation and maybe i'm just trying to understand and gather information to help make a decision rather than jump into an answer of "sure go build this thing because the higher up asked me" every company expects a one size fits all approach and i loathe the inability to take one's time and ask questions even if that's the entire point of the exercise

Justin Tyme posted:I wouldn't be surprised if BAH in the PNW is below the going rate for the area given inflation. Isn't BAH capped? I think so. it looked doable though, it’s public on the JBLM website. on the other hand if one is used to other parts of the country the market here is probably a shock.
