I would love to read about someone who did some gimmicky poo poo like a sheet cake resignation letter and got their new offer retracted as the result of being a smarmy jackass.

hey do you guys have good resources for getting better at technical interviews? I have a friend who's a good developer but gets choked/flustered during interviews

it's an orthogonal skill.

so do more interviews, practice problems, etc. it's a pretty garbage system.

taking a theatre/acting class should help with the nerves, or at least projecting it.
she has done plenty of "practice" interviews but when it's a good job her nerves get the better of her

I'll never understand why in a country with a decent brewing tradition everyone in london insists on drinking staraprova or kronenburg [and paying 4 squids for the privilege]

didn't MV relent only to have goog threaten to yank the proposal unless they get more offices? like within the past week?

yeah but this has been like a decade-long fight, I think they were only close to a deal because google promised them all sorts of stuff

they should have let goog build a bunch of tiny studios/dorm style housing because a) young people don't vote and b) they'll have to move if they want to have kids [increased school-age population terrifies these fuckers to death because Good Schools* is a huge part of their inflated property values]

*yes, this means exactly what you're afraid it might

we are 6 weeks into the process for the new gig i have lined up and i get an email saying that because they switched from taleo to workday i now have to recreate a profile and reapply to the posting online for that role. i hope it is just some hr onboarding bullshit and not a reset to 0 because uuuuuggggggghh

corporate talent acquisition is some bullshit

I interviewed at workday, not with that group but I was like "I have some notes for you guys" because apparently sending 1000 nearly identical emails is the best way to handle any task
