Mid/senior/lead are meaningless in tech wrt the larger world, they're almost entirely descriptors for time in. I was a 'lead' at my last job and I've never had direct reports. I was on a team with three other 'leads'

So bad that they do their best to hire kids out of college and strand them on a fantasy campus in Wisconsin, and the minute those kids dare leave they stick them with insanely restrictive non-competes. Epic is a garbage company that makes trash.

Epic is a garbage company that makes trash. I dodged a bullet. Pre-covid a friend of mine applied for a job there and asked if I wanted to join him in applying. I didn't have the money to make a multi-state move and had heard that Epic burns out its workers really quickly, so I declined. Sounds like I made a good decision (for once). gently caress the tech industry. They expect you to come out of the uterus with ten years of experience and then piss and moan about how "nobody wants to work anymore  ".

there're a lot of online resources for mapping seniority/pay these days so there's less ambiguity e.g., levels.fyi seeing fresh grads stressing themselves about hitting arbitrary TC (e.g., 200K) is pretty funny

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:I forget: is this Mexico daring to do something that actually benefits its people to the detriment (perceived or real) of our imperial government? America says Mexico is being unscientific because it threatens Big Corn, and that it is doing this for protectionism. Mexico wants to ban GMO corn for people and change the requirements for what they use for livestock. Mexico argues they harm native varieties and impose health risks. you can think about glyphosate (roundup) i guess -- you can't use it on living non-GMO corns, although some use it as a desiccant on non-GMO after the harvest.

US Steel closed its tinmill plants in 2022 and they're now getting takeover bids. I think they're trying to improve its competitiveness so it doesnt get taken over. If you don't have steel, you dont have a country.

I would recommend Epic if you are young enough to deal with their grind, get a TS position and get as many certs as you can in the time you can stand to be there, take a year off to wait out the non-compete and then completely loving ball out as a consultant.
