Sniep posted:i intended the comment after surpassing the technical reqs oh, right. yeah they got to fit the bare minimum tech ability ofc. but i do feel more comfortable about hiring someone who's cool and makes an effort to fit in with the vibe of the interviewers than a robot who sits and shits ones and zeroes out of their rear end.

i'm sure you'll learn a lot and build up your resume but don't pretend like their "machine learning" is anything other than a marketing justification engine

After the meeting they wanted everybody to sign it immediately "it's just an acknowledgment that you received it!" was their reasoning, which it wasn't. The end of the signature page was "I agree to follow and adhere to everything in this book I received". Are you fired already?

ShadowHawk posted:scraping Google results is against Google TOS as much as malicious blackhat SEO is I think I may have to inquire a bit about this if they call me back offering a role. It'd be hilarious if they came back bald faced and said "no it's not allowed by google but we have proxies and so..." and that'd pretty much be the end of the phone call lol.

i just re-read my contract and it turns out i don't have a non-compete? i was already very happy with my current employer mostly because they have a very strong- almost cocky, 'we aren't worried about you leaving because we know what we're offering you is the best the market has to offer' but drat not even bothering with a non-compete really enforces that. especially with how much training they're dumping into me into a very niche and valuable technology.

non-compete and ownership of my made in my free time IP is an absolute dealbreaker for me. remember that story about the guy who worked for apple, made a for profit software in his free time, then apple just yoinked it from him?

Hey guys I'm trying to create a job posting and can't come up with the right title for this position. Basically, I need someone who can do the following:
I think a Field Engineer is the right title, but is there something better than that?

Read through the whole thread. Congratulations on your many figgies. Last year I had an onsite where the interviewer had trouble speaking English and throughout the course of the conversation and white boarding spoke progressively more in Chinese. I am white and made no indication I could understand Chinese. Even before that I had a feeling they never intended to hire me and afterwards when I met with the hiring manager he told me when job hunting it's not about what you know but who you know. I was then escorted out of the building and the receptionist refused to give me any contact information. This was also after having to do some C++ homework problem that was never brought up during the interviews. The best interview I had, and the one whose offer I accepted, had me interfacing with an internal recruiter then doing a simple coding exercise in Google Docs lol. The onsite consisted of me giving a presentation about myself in front of the whole interview team, saving me from having the same conversation six times, and some simple geometry problems relevant to the job.
