Anyone here found a job through TripleByte? How was the process? I checked them out once, but gave up because they weren't doing remote placements and I'm not super interested in relocating.

awesomeolion posted:I've done a decent amount of Upwork freelancing and it's okay. I found gun.io to be by far the best freelancing site because it has higher quality clients with larger budgets. They have people who screen both clients and freelancers (rather than register and you're in right away) so you get a lot less "make me an operating system for $100" type stuff. gun.io seems to be targeting full time freelancers, would be worthwhile to get some part time work too? I've tried upwork before and was turned off by all of the "build crm addon for $10/hour" garbage.

Jaded Burnout posted:Hmm! I am, coincidentally, at the point where I either have to turn down actual real work (not just vague job offer suggestions) or hire someone, though my main clients so far have been either day rates or individuals who don't have the budget to crank rates sky high. I really don't want to hire someone. I think one of the secondary points of that article is that even if you don't increase your rate, switching from hourly billing to weekly billing can increase your revenue and reduce your stress. But you would have to restructure project plans as well to account for week-long dedicated sprints for individual clients and not splitting your time up.

The Dark Wind posted:On the topic of greatest weakness, what has always worked for me is to pick something that is genuinely a weakness of yours, but also something that you've become self-aware of and taken steps to mitigate. Don't give a weakness that you've done nothing about or that you only just discovered. Even if it was years ago and you've done a ton of work on it, just say that. I take the question not as "what is your great weakness", but "what is something about your way of working that has been challenging to you or others in the past, and what have you done to resolve it?". This is what I do. I talk about how I can get easily distracted, and how it can affect my ability to finish longer projects. Then I talk about steps I take to mitigate, listening to music when I need to focus, break things up into smaller tasks, keep track of them on Trello, etc.

Remote is hard for companies that are used to a traditional model of collaboration with people all in the same room/building. Remote works best with companies that have remote work as part of their culture from the very beginning.

Pollyanna posted:What exactly is “one year five times”, or “one year fifteen times”, or whatever? It's a way of saying that someone's career has been stagnant, there's been no advancement, no learning, no development. It's the guy that became a product expert 5 years ago and hasn't done anything different since then. It's the dev that three years into a position is still working the same things they were in the first month. quote:How do you know you’re in that state? Are you getting bored at work? Are you lacking challenge? Have you been at the same company for a couple years but there's no opportunity to advance internally? quote:How do you get out of it and prevent it? You need to be proactive about pursuing new opportunities. Sometimes this is hard or impractical to do outside of work, so it is worthwhile to find an employer that values professional development. quote:How much do the opportunities you get affect it? Significantly in my experience. I've seen people that have no real ambition move really fare in their careers just because they're in the right place at the right time and I've seen others that work hard every day struggle to advance because they just don't have good advance opportunities around them. Personally, I know my career could be much further along if I lived in a different region, but that is a trade-off I've been happy with.

Try setting some specific work ours and go through 'going to work' and 'leaving work' routines. When I was working from home regularly, I'd still go through my early morning shower, get dressed, walk the dogs, make tea routine. Then I'd go for a run to mark the end of the workday. It doesn't need to be anything significant, just something to help you mentally separate the two modes.

25 mile commute is fine if it's a well maintained rural highway so your commute is actually only 30 minutes each way. Not many tech jobs with commutes like that though.

I feel like you’re seriously over thinking it. There are definitely varying levels of attention you can spend on the job hunt. Like, you can just turn the recruiter flag on in LinkedIn and chill out for a few months if you wanted.

Mega Comrade posted:This is what I did last week, I originally planned to manually search as well but at the moment I'm getting a frenzy of messages from recruiters every day and just replying to them is taking up more time than I'd like. It's really helped me understand the demands in my area and how much I could get pay wise. I did it this spring, and got a job for my trouble that I'm starting at on Monday. I got probably 3-5 recruiter messages a day. 1-2 / month that were worth replying to. 3 of those resulted in interviews. So, took about 8 months to go from decision to new job, but it was really low effort and to get a 30% raise and 100% remote.

Pollyanna posted:Kinda of unrelated but I’m getting pretty sick of the most senior engineer on this team being super picky about the PRs I put up. Single line comments like “no make it one function”, I do so and then he’s like “no put this field on this struct and do these specific things that I did not explain at all in the original bug”. it took me a while to get over the habit of reviewing a pr as if it was my own code these days as long as it works, follows convention, and doesn't introduce new problems, I'll mash that approve button with minimal comments
