my last interview the manager gave me a whiteboard problem but apparently had a single right solution he wanted but didn't give any hints towards and he also didn't know enough about the subject to answer my basic "who's buying this?" or "how complex is the average system?" he just wanted some magic iot bullshit answer

oh my god some of these contracting companies are so stupid on rates, no I'm not going to take what I was making 8 years ago because there's "potential to go permanent" that just means they'll lowball me on permanent salary tooSt Evan Echoes posted:just started newjob yesterday, how typical is it that you dont do poo poo for the first while? one job I had a while back they didn't even get me a computer for 2 weeks just chill and introduce yourself to people

I applied for a job that was like a perfect match for my skills and experience and when I went back to the website to look at it they removed the posting the next day I'd guess they lost budget for the position but forgot to remove it from the hr system until they saw me use it

idg why contract staffing firms are so loving stupid about rates, I know they're billing $100-120/hr to the client so like don't play coy when I ask for most of it

I mean of course they want to pay some chump like $50 but if your brief says "must have 5-8 years of experience" there's a good chance most of the qualified candidates have employed someone from one of those same agencies and knows the math

one of my friends used to be a recruiter and she was telling me this story about how when she was at a large tech company they moved a manager from sales operations to run recruiting and this new VP decided to set "stretch goals" for the recruiters that were 3x the current number of open reqs. so the recruiters busted their asses, hit the stretch goals and got a bonus but 2/3 of the people they'd "hired" didn't actually have available positions so yeah if you ever interviewed at a place known for its ball pits and then got an offer 3-9 months after you interviewed now you know why

there's tiers of options: 1. founder poo poo. you got all your shares for free and you'll be gently caress you rich if it pans out 2. rank and file, everything going perfect means you can get a fully loaded 3-series out of it 3. everyone else where it's barely worth exercising because of the extra tax paperwork expecting all those people to work together productively is insane, especially since all the execs are tier 1 and everyone else is lower

Bloody posted:if you're a 2 and not getting at least a year's salary out of your options (which should be more than a fully loaded 3 series) you have hosed up after taxes? I know some of the trendier companies do RSUs even for rank and file but most places still do options as far as I know and options are a great way to watch 150k turn into 55 [and that's if everything goes right]

every single goddamn person on earth has the "best" way to invest, while DCA is not going to give the best possible return [by design] it's a way to reduce nervousness about when to buy in and schedule regular investment contributions where a lot of people just buy some stock then let it sit there. you probably shouldn't do it weekly though that's total overkill someone who maxed out on spdr in september 2007 would have had to live with it underwater for six years which isn't fun and loving laffo if you think this inflated rear end market we're in now is going to keep going up like it is now
