is facebook bad to work for? a recruiter reached out and while i'll probably decline because it's a relocation and i don't want to move, i feel like it's worth keeping my name in their system if they don't suck

it's for platform engineering (which is what i do at my current place) but those teams are in ny, seattle, and silicon valley. wonder if i can parlay it into a regular eng job in the boston office 'cause beyond having to learn some hack i don't see a huge downside.

i went from my own office with a door and a view of a courtyard to an open plan with coworkers in close proximity and i like my new one much better. i feel like i'm more engaged and friendly with my coworkers and idk it's more relaxed. not sure i can describe it entirely but i like it

it's been loving impossible to hire a platform (devops) engineer in boston. salary is awesome, the company is well known and great to work for, the role is cool, and we're doing a ton of sweet greenfield stuff with distributed systems but can barely get a nibble. idk wtf.

St Evan Echoes posted:i always assumed devops boils down to "boy our build is a loving mess, let's pay someone to make it their problem" generally this but our team is cloud focused rather than working on build systems. the problem is not people interviewing and going elsewhere it's that the senior devops community is tiny and most people like their job and aren't interested in moving.

yeah it's good base but obviously we're not doing as well as goog/fb/etc so additional comp is clearly not worth as much. that said i'm a l2 (mid-level) and my total comp is north of 150k

Pointsman posted:I ended up in essentially a junior devops/SRE type role in my last gig and sure enough it's something I gradually moved into and picked up. Seems very hard to hire externally for. that's why you hire more senior if you don't want someone who's like "yeah i managed my own aws account that's webscale right?"

mishaq posted:also unlimited vacation sounds like a great way to eliminate fixed PTO buckets and the associated legally required payouts when the employee leaves for unused balances it's 100% this it also gets around some of the cash-on-hand accounting requirements for accrued pto payouts although those vary from state to state.

in my entire career i've never come upon a situation where not knowing big o notation has affected me in the slightest. the first and only times i ever hear about it are in the context of interviews. like if you're gonna come up with some gotcha bullshit for an interview at least make it a bajillion times less "look at my swinging cs dick"

cis autodrag posted:people say "big o" as shorthand for "do complexity analysis". if you can't look at your algorithm and explain its runtime and space complexity that's bad. i can't tell you the number of 100x or greater speedups i created in epic's software by just noticing that an algorithm was n^2 or worse and looking for a different approach. that's kind of what i'm getting at. if you went into an interview and were like "oh i don't know any of the notation for complexity analysis but i can spot a poorly performing algorithm and refactor it with a better choice" you'd still get laughed out because interviewing had become a lovely cargo-culting fuckstorm of gotchas and it's terrible and i hate it

Brain Candy posted:being familiar with this stuff is cool and good. knowing how to use it is better thank you for putting this better than i've been able to knowing how to implement an algorithm in an interview is stupid because whenever that comes up at work you google it, look at existing implementations, read whatever papers have been written, and determine whether the algorithm is appropriate. being able to identify an algorithm as O(n log n) vs O(n^2) in an interview is pointless because it doesn't actually help the interviewer understand how you work it's the same kind of exercise as trying to estimate the number of jelly beans in a jar or sands on a beach

Brain Candy posted:maybe being stubborn about not learning things that would take an afternoon to learn is foolish i recognize that learning the formal notation around algorithmic complexity is important to go through the process. i'm just bemoaning its place in the interview process because imo (and this has always been imo) it doesn't tell the interviewer anything beyond the ability to regurgitate your intro to algorithms textbook
