usually you can get a good bump simply by getting another offer and having your employer match it. assuming you want to stay, that is.

If i have to threaten to quit to get that raise out of you, you're just going to find a way to get rid of me anyways and its and admission that you were paying me less than you thought i was worth. Companies expect this weird samurai loyalty ityool 2016 (like the old days) despite not having labor organization or pensions (like the old days)

the Epic test was fun because it was like "here is a totally made up language lets see if you can figure it out" and it was actually a bunch of MUMPS questions

loooooooooool this owns

Also you should drill with Skype and Hangouts with a buddy annually or every time you get a new computer to make sure your speaker/mic work

you must be a vicious, aggressive animal when job hunting. You must shame the poo poo out of the other guy. I beat out a candidate that did better on the takehome test and had 10 more years experience, because I could run skype better and I'd been in the industry for a *shorter* period. They judged his velocity to be insufficient.

and that's exaclty what happened overnight

putin gave a PR about nuclear strength overnight.

our president-elect is a known cable news addict and just shovels foxnews in his face all morning over Mcdonald's

so he was picking the egg out of his egg mcmuffin or whatever OCD thing i'm sure he does, saw the Putin soundbite, and he thought "Oh i should sya something in response" and was tapping out his tweet before anybody could snatch his phone from him

it's not the truthiness or whatever of what he's tweeting, it's that he has no fundamental concept of world politics or international relations, and though we are laughing and dismissing his tweets, foreign dignitaries and intelligence services are pinning them up on a THREATS FROM TRUMP bulletin board.

He doesn't have the capacity to make informed decisions. He absolutely does have the power to make bad ones, and hit the button.

Remember that a solid 65-75% of his supporters and cabinet are just killing time waiting to go to Heaven; in the long run, they've got nothing to lose by salting the earth with fallout.
