thirsty dudes only have one writing style I guess. let's seequote:I loved reading your Tinder profile. Positive energy a flowing. And it seemed like you were talking directly to me about let’s do something new and cool. I had to dig deeper.

job hunt status: yesterday I missed a call from a guy who was going to phone screen me, instead of rescheduling or telling me to gently caress off they're bringing me in for an in-person interview is this what failing upwards feels like?

hobbesmaster posted:let me guess: 3rd party recruiter was going to do a screen, but the client saw you in the resume stack and wanted to bring you in making it moot? nah this was supposed to be the first call with the hiring manager, but he's seen my portfolio and knows the team I used to work on also it's a contract gig so if they hate me they can get rid of me without too much hassle slightly lame if I end up staying in finance but w/e the figgies are legit

ADINSX posted:I feel like these interviews are really testing how hard you want to work somewhere. However, considering Amazon has 11k job openings in Seattle alone, the answer for most people seems to be "not very" I wonder if there's ever moments where they're like "maybe the problem is... us? nah that can't be it we're awesome" like I pretty much know I have been somehow deemed "non-googley" but I still get dozens of recruiter hits for google jobs that have been open for more than a year

so yeah I have a new jorb, starting in 2 weeks I remember a while back there was this guy my boss wanted to hire and the dude decided that a parking space was his #1 dealbreaker gotta have it thing but the company had a policy to not pay for parking so it took like 3 extra weeks to get the guy on board, that should have been an obvious red flag though because he ended up being a useless shitlord who got fired 6 months later and not even "scott went on to pursue other opportunities" it was like yeah we fired him

most finance jobs the base salary isn't great but you can get a good bonus, I got ~30% every year at my last place but it's completely variable and if someone else's division has a bad year that might impact the overall bonus pool and since the executives always get massive bonuses rank and file people can get kind of shafted

I had a recruiter tell me her company policy was that they had to see you over video chat before placing you and she didn't understand why I was confused, I mean there's no legitimate reason to do that [and a bunch of illegal ones]

Sweeper posted:the company i just joined a couple months ago was super slow about stuff also, took them a couple weeks to get the offer to me, couple weeks for confirmation the offer was approved by higher level people, etc. turned out fine, ive never worked in finance before (didn't know what a broker/dealer was before i joined up) so maybe finance is just slow. either way, the slowness hasn't seemed to be an indicator of anything if it's a big finance company it will probably take several weeks to get all your background checks done, you might have to get fingerprinted too
