Guinness posted:I'm not working crazy hours or anything, company culture is mostly good/fine, just blahhhh. If I was in your position, I'd do the bare minimum and just... do other stuff: hang out on IRC, read, lurk forums, play games. This is assuming you're not crazy busy all the time and you have plenty of down time.

Guinness posted:I wouldn't say that I'm phoning it in, but I'm not busting rear end. Ironically, my perf reviews so far have all been very positive just not promo worthy. After this year+ of covid crap though it's just real hard to focus and care about work, ya know? Feels like the only thing that's been going on for so long, but fortunately hot vax summer is finally here. I understand. This sounds like a job that'll give you a comfortable cushion until you find something that pays just as well and will challenge you. Luckily, your current gig doesn't like it'll make you suicidal.

RC Cola posted:Ok. So realistically what should a dev in Denver make? My of my experience at my current company is C#/dot net, a bit of Blazor, and some typescript. And I guess DB stuff on azure. I've been a dev for less than a month, but the automation QA stuff I was doing was stuff like setting up my teams CI pipeline to run my automation code on checkins and such. At least $90K

Is the leetcode-grinding interview truly the only obstacle for getting that foot into the door at FAANG? Once you're in, do you have to worry about doing it again for future jobs?

Thanks, Ahmed Jones and Asur, for the detailed insight. Here's a situation one of my friends is undergoing: He's been at a job for the past five years. He has a niche. His total compensation is $100K. That's after starting five years ago at $35K. He's bored with work and would like to get out. He recently found a promising new job, doing nearly the same thing he's doing now, possibly for more money. He's gone through two rounds of interviews and is likely getting an offer. He hasn't given them a number yet and is waiting for the company throw one out first. He's hoping to get $115K minimum but has seen Glassdoor and other salary reviews putting the salary for this job way lower – we're talking $80K-$90K. The recruiter has assured him the pay, still unknown, is "competitive," which is always bullshit, in my opinion. I've told him to let the company make the offer first, and if it's too low, to say that he's looking for $120K, and negotiate from there. He's worried the company will pass him off because he's "too expensive," but I told that won't be the case. The company can afford him. They're just trying to bring him on as cheaply ad possible. Curious to see what others think.

fourwood posted:I mean it might be true that they aren’t willing to go to 115, but if that’s the case then he needs to get more comfortable with the phrase “it sounds like we’re too far apart to make this work, best of luck with your search”.

Sab669 posted:No negotiation, no nothing. They told me they'd get back to me by Monday after my interview the week before. EOD Monday I emailed them asking if they decided and at midnight the guy sent me that. asur posted:To apply this to your friend Armauk, I'd ask for at least 120k since they're going to counter that and that would get him around 115k. Even if they start at 115k+, I'd recommend asking for 10% more as worst case they say no.

borkencode posted:So, I've been doing PHP dev most of my career (13 years), and kind of want to switch to a nicer language (and apparently make way more money). How much of an albatross around my neck is that? I've done some stuff in other languages (python/go) but nothing that's a big project. It sounds like you did back-end work. You can't go wrong with JavaScript, Go, or Python.

sim posted:This time I optimized for connecting with recruiters and I got initial interviews with 32 different companies without a single application. All but a few were scheduled within days of the initial contact. Can you go into more details about this? Most of the recruiters I've contacted often tell me to submit an application on the website anyway.

sim posted:Yeah I had a couple that asked for that, but by and large I just gave my resume to the recruiter and they handled the rest. I followed this guy's advice: https://egghead.io/talks/egghead-how-social-media-can-land-you-your-dream-job. Note that I do have 12 years of experience with frontend dev, so your mileage may vary depending on how hot the market is for your particular skillset. So it seems LinkedIn does most of the work here.
