nah, still applies. the outcome of that CI/CD pipeline is versioned, metadatad, signed artifacts sent to a server somewhere that your devices ping for self updates whenever they happen to be on the network and that your company website uses so users can manually download them and update them offline if they choose.

I vastly prefer SO as a candidate, but I also don't use my SO account for anything but applications and haven't gotten an offer yet so.

don't be, they pay really well and being marginally competent at your job has you slated for promotion immediately when you roll in implementing fresh new ideas like "automated testing" and "change control"

yeah it's good base but obviously we're not doing as well as goog/fb/etc so additional comp is clearly not worth as much. that said i'm a l2 (mid-level) and my total comp is north of 150k

i lost track but isn't this a flyover state job? "north of $150k" is good when $400k buys you a luxury house in the middle of the city

i've been keeping tabs on boston for infosec positions and the comps to nyc aren't even close. 160-175 in manhattan with a massive number of openings is probably closer to 110-125 in boston.

my friend wants to move to london and seems to think the increased wages there will cover the difference in cost of living

i was just like... you'll be doing manual labour or call centre poo poo, the difference isn't gonna allow you to live in anything bigger than a bin

london is too expensive a place for the people who are born there to keep living there, it's quite the system
