an old coworker recently joined the alexa team and seems to like it. from what I hear it depends a lot on what division you're in so there's a lot of variance of experiences

the bar is so low to be a good pm that as long as you can bullshit management and get along with tech people you're probably better than 70% of pms. I guess the problem there though is getting your foot in the door. the pms I worked with at my last company were all initially techy people in the company (one was qa, one was data science)

St Evan Echoes posted:just started newjob yesterday, how typical is it that you dont do poo poo for the first while? my last job I was expected to start writing code in the first/second week (but nothing critical - my first project was to analyze log files for performance measurements to guide future development) my current job I started last week, it's a late stage startup where they want to move from a startup development culture to a more mature one (I was hired as a manager to help with this but also do dev work). so on day one I was expected to start writing code, by day three they were asking me how I wanted to do iteration planning (they had a terrible scrum process that wasn't working). I find it depends a lot on the field, the company/culture, and your skill level. I like diving in right away and learning by breaking everything Shaman Linavi posted:not sure if i still have the fed job i was hired for and i guess neither does the agency?? terrible time to start (or even have) a fed job  I was thinking about going in that direction but there was too much uncertainty. so I want to a startup instead. much more stable

Notorious b.s.d. posted:if you can't afford to save $20k, you can't afford your current lifestyle. full stop. start making cuts. there's a lot of people who can't save $20k and have nothing more to cut. idk lmo's budget or anything but she seems smart enough to budget and I don't see a point in going "you're doing it wrong" based on her posts complaining about debt?? I get annoyed when people try to explain finance to poor people though is there a term for that, like with mansplain? cause I see it a lot

I've heard good things about cracking the coding interview from friends, but haven't used it myself

fart simpson posted:you have to have the president of the company personally sign off on a department transfer? my last place was even more insane. we were bought out by a company that was bought out etc several times, or something. so what would happen is we'd have to get approval from our company, then our parent company, then our parent parent company, etc up like five levels we would interview somebody and decide we liked them and it would take four weeks to actually get the offer approved. of course by then any good people already had an offer elsewhere sometimes you could get an offer pre approved for like two weeks! then if you didn't actually interview somebody you liked in that time it would expire and you'd have to go through the process again ugggh

idk every time I've applied to a job turnaround was 1-2 weeks  all I know is everybody who we had as a first choice to hire always accepted an offer elsewhere before we even had ours ready to give themeither that or our interview process scared everybody off. that's possible too
