How's working there? Amazon has been getting trashed online lately regarding the work environment. Is there a semblance of W/L balance or is it 50-80 hour weeks?

Generally I would say apply for the more senior position, and if they don't feel your a fit for that, they may consider you for the less senior position. This is going to sound dickish, and I don't mean it to be, but generally someone qualified for a Principal Engineer job would know they were qualified for it. We have a few software guys with that title and they are all very experienced engineers that have a leadership and guidance role over a team of other engineers. In our org it's one step below a manager or director position. Those guys are good. Most of them have at least 15 years of progressive software engineering experience, a masters degree, and good leadership/management skills.

Good luck. It takes us forever to find Java peeps like that in Austin.

It's not even a job. It's a volunteer /resume building position. No Money. Zero.

Flip this around. Monster and Careerbuilder are a joke and I don't know anyone who has used them seriously in years. They're so full of garbage and spam they're worthless to a job seeker. LinkedIn, StackOverflow, Indeed, and to a lesser extent Dice* are great places to find qualified tech candidates. If I was looking for a Rails programmer I would have the job posting on Stack first thing. Then LinkedIn and then maybe Dice. Indeed is more of a job search engine, but I would post the job there as well if you have the money. Seriously though, who doesn't have LinkedIn in the YOOL 2015? Basically all your assumptions are about 10 years out of date. LinkedIn is basically how a good chunk of the tech sector finds employment at this point. It's Facebook, but for Jobs. You should be able to find qualified candidates if you post the job to the right place. There are people who care more about work life balance and benefits than overall cash. Make sure your job posting is reasonable and covers everything. *I personally feel the quality of Dice job listings has gone downhill over the last few years, it's mostly tech contractors trolling for short term w-2 contract work and therefore do not use it as a resource to look for jobs any longer. edit2: While I'm not a programmer, I've heard Ruby is pretty easy to pick up if they have a background in other OOL's. If you can find a young person who might not have the exact skillset you need but can get up to speed pretty quickly, you can probably hang onto them for a couple of years before they move along. skipdogg fucked around with this message at 20:12 on Jul 7, 2015 |

I don't know if this a joke or not, but this sounds miserable.

If you want out of the DC area, all the DoD/NSA/Gov stuff here in San Antonio is hot right now. Low cost of living, pretty good quality of life and good pay for people with your skill set.

Mr. Crow posted:You absolutely do not need to go into management This. I work at a place large enough that we have technical IC paths all the way up to the AVP level. They're super competitive, and there's not a huge amount of them, but they do exist. Managing people sucks and if you don't want to be a people manager, don't be a people manager.

A couple of interesting jobs are posted where I work and I thought someone might be interested AWS Security Engineer, Senior (REMOTE) https://www.usaajobs.com/job/san-antonio/aws-security-engineer-senior-remote/1207/41422726240 Technical Architect-Cybersecurity-Staff Level (Remote) https://www.usaajobs.com/job/san-antonio/technical-architect-cybersecurity-staff-level-remote/1207/41195778512 We're pretty much always hiring for various IT and software engineering positions. A couple notes: If the job does not say remote, remote work is not available for the position. Not my decision, don't yell at me Salary ranges are posted in the job description. The range is large, but I wouldn't expect to come in above the midpoint. Salary range is base cash, you can look at the benefit website for total comp info, benefit details are fully public. If you want a referral PM me an email address and your first and last name and the job you're interested in. I'll submit it through our employee referral system. If you don't want one just apply through the website.

SalTheBard posted:I was recently laid off from my job of 11 years. I'm wanting to make a career change from customer service to IT. My state offers payment for certain IT related jobs. I'm currently looking at these 2 from SnapIT. What do you want to do? The hardest part of IT is getting your foot in the door at your first IT job. I'm assuming the workforce services will help with that. I don't know your computer background, but I'd skip the it support specialist track if possible. It is good for someone with zero background in IT though, but it's more of an end user support role....but that might align with your CS background pretty well. I couldn't find details on the cyber security and networking in the 30 minutes video they posted. I might have missed it. I'd go Cyber Security or AWS.

The Fool posted:I just wanted to highlight this comment really fast. My org is starting to hire a bit now, but I would say we're looking for more midlevel folks instead of senior, and we're holding to the 4 days a week in office requirement. So things are a little different, but we are starting to hire again. Last year we did a small rif and froze most hiring. I'm in the insurance/financial services sector, so still doing ok
