Notorious b.s.d. posted:your house already has 220/240v power installed. it doesn't cost any more to get a new 220 line to your garage than it does to add a 110 circuit. it's just running a cable to the breaker box and installing an outlet. yeah, like I said, I'm not a (that kind) of nerd -- he spent non-trivial money hiring someone to improve the server-room situation in a garage he doesn't even own  retro computing is cool and poo poo, I understand people that run mainframes or old curious things. but running an obnoxious thousands of dollars headache so you can play movies on your tv in a harder way....

Progressive JPEG posted:reminder for our readers: never disclose current salary 1000% / or literally lie if you absolutely cannot stomach saying 'no' awkwardly a few times, then your current salary is your minimum signing salary. if this isn't technically true to start with, find a way to convince yourself that it actually is: 'well my flexibility around scheduling is worth 10k, and i like my boss like about 10k so 100k salary + 10k + 10k = 120k = my current salary is 120k' anyone that tells you lying about your current salary is unethical or mumbles some poo poo about your w-2 blah blah blah is 1) a piece of poo poo and 2) a (loving) idiot

does hired.com do remote now? I think they didn't whenever they started out I've sent some *almost* regrettably snarky drunk responses to Googbookazon recruiters about remote work sort of recently  Not looking, but hardpressed to pass up dunking on people.

Notorious b.s.d. posted:well, on the one hand, you will almost certainly be caught in the lie. Lol, I would literally refuse to provide my tax records. That is only being asked for to gently caress you over on salary. No thanks? Anybody that actually 'needs' my tax records for a background check (i.e. the FBI, for a real clearance) can actually get them without my voluntary involvement. I mean yes: absolutely refuse. Most people are giant babies though and slight awkwardness = immediate cave. We all feel it, don't deny it.

Accept both offers. Actually work at which of the three jobs you want the most. Collect 3 paychecks as long as possible. This works a lot better with remote jobs. One day I hope to goad someone into actually doing it.
