okay so obviously referrals are the best, but after that, PYF job internets. there's always LinkedIn, which is awful, but their weekly job emails have been somewhat decent lately. especially if you are looking for big companies. I've been using indeed.com recently, which is kind of hit or miss but I like that it takes you to the actual company's website job posting.

I've seen a couple of people in my life that can produce great code at a rate far above everyone else. these people are extremely rare, tend to have special positions with outstanding responsibilities, and they make a shitload of money. one of them is mostly a sociopath and they put up with him because he's so good at what he does. your average startup guy who claims to be a 10x-er is confusing working long hours with actual ability.

It's an okay platform, but especially fun to lol @ the various seed stage places who are hard up looking for people and approach you even if you're under-qualified for the senior elite ninja 10x positions they advertise for.

recruiter asked me on the phone today how much I'm making. I told her I want to know how much I'm worth to them. she let that go but not before disclaiming that they are a startup and therefore don't have that much cash and but they do have equity! also strongly implied that I will need to tell them what it was when we have a frank discussion about it later in the process because their CTO is a straight shooter or whatever. lol.

vodkat posted:I was trying to email in an application last night, and it kept bouncing, I double checked the address was right several times even going back and copy/pasting it from the advert. Since the deadline was the next day I panicked and sent an email to the guy I knew was actually going to be choosing applicants and let them know that the email address in the advert wasn't working. 30 minutes later I return to a flurry of emails I'd been CC'ed into where it turns out there was a typo in the email listed in advert that literally spelt the name of the company wrong and I hadn't noticed you failed the attention to detail test but may have saved it with proactive and communicates well.

any decent programmer should be able to write a simple function on a whiteboard in a language they know well. yes, it is challenging to write in a whiteboard, and you shouldn't be doing something that takes a ton of code or a bunch of convoluted logic, it should be very straight forward. implement atoi(), for example, without any library functions.

BONGHITZ posted:forgetting to write return on the white board is an automatic fail nope. coding on a whiteboard under pressure is hard and humans make dumb mistakes. I try to find out if it's because they don't understand how to program or because they just didn't notice. usually you can tell by the rest of their code.

JewKiller 3000 posted:i will never ask candidates to write code on a whiteboard. not only because high-pressure whiteboarding is a terrible approximation of real development work, but more importantly because the entire style of quiz-question interviewing is bankrupt and useless quiz questions are dumb and bad. ask questions that are simple, have no trick to them, and demonstrate programming proficiency.

JewKiller 3000 posted:that was almost fishmech-like, how you addressed the assumed implication of a tiny part of my post, rather than the actual point therein okay, let me address your main point: writing on a whiteboard is a communication and presentation exercise. the point is to convey how you approach problems and reason about them and if you can explain that to the interviewer. it is a discussion. the resulting code is a collaboration derived from the interviewee gathering requirements and feedback from on their approach. if I just wanted them to bang out something, it would be much faster on keyboard and it would also tell me very little about them.

jre posted:Director is a specific role with legally enforced responsibilities in the UK which appears not to be the case in the US then. I've seen places where director has to micromanage every hire and its a in the US companies get to declare who their executives are (there's no official titles below some C*O). but in most large companies, at least public ones, director is an executive role and has the legal responsibilities of an officer of the company.
