have you ever gotten so exasperated with an employer that you told them "good luck in your search"? I think that would be fun to do, once.

again, properly, it's devs who can take up the responsibility of specing out a deployment to the ops technicians when the product devs are too autistic/arrogant to do so

Janitor Prime posted:I'm actually indignified that even though you trust your taxes are being withheld by the company you're still held responsible for their fuckups. I mean it ultimately boils down to "the indignity of paying taxes" like you said, but there's no reason it needs to be this stupid and having the government go after that money from the individuals when it should have been the company's responsibility and obligation to collect.

tip: if you get any contact from JobSpring Partners, Work Bridge, or Seven Step, do not touch. these are all DBAs of the same recruiting organization that, when the dot-com boom busted, turned into a kind of pirate organization that contacts people more often to pump them for job market intel than to fill positions

some things I do when working with third party recruiters (oh you think you're too good for recruiters? how cute): - They want years of experience with a tech. I have been in jobs where I sometimes worked with the tech but not continuously and too long ago to recall the timeline in detail. Every year I worked with it counts as a full year. Continuous use for any substantial part year is also a full year. - They want years of experience with "A and B and C". I pick the one I have the most experience with and report that as the experience for the whole bunch. For "C/C++" I report basically my entire software career which has had me mostly developing in one or the other - They want a self-rating with a tech. Can I use it in a project without struggling? Rate 10. Have I used it in a project at all? Rate 5. Pick a point between those as needed. These are not tips, these are what I do to get my resume in front of the hiring manager rather than being shut out by an idiot headhunter who can't spell C.

the recruiter's goal is to screen people. your goal is to not be screened. Don't lie to a recruiter, but do exaggerate all to gently caress because the recruiter isn't the one who makes the decision you care about

My team at Amazon had an intern once and she was put on a project to develop some kind of internal web thingy and we actually needed (no freeloaders at Amazon). She demonstrated it and it looked OK but nobody thought to have her check in the code or otherwise hand it off. When this came up in status meeting I suggested getting the code from ReviewBoard but I don't know if anyone ever actually did because I had my own poo poo to shovel. that's my intern story

sorry, we will only consider candidates whose entire technical exposure reflects our company's priorities, not the priorities of the companies they previously or currently worked for.
