get them in a room together, let whoever has the most political power explain to the other person why they aren't getting the feature they need may backfire if they both have more political power than you and they make you commit to doing both, even though you don't have the resources for it (and no you're not getting any more)

remember that even if you do end up being able to take an appropriate amount of vacation, such a policy also means "you won't get paid out any accrued-but-unused vacation when you leave"

people can be sufficiently monied as to just go without income for a month (and add considerable expense at that) and be okay at the end
|
Uh, paying 42k of income tax when you're only earning 94k would be like, a 45% tax rate. There's no way your income tax is that high.

Do you actually have interviews and stuff lined up that you're expecting might make you an offer, or is it a super-vague "well what if a recruiter calls me out of the blue immediately after I've signed the contract" thing?

that's also why you want to move around a lot - your signing bonus (vesting over x years) is often gonna be larger than the normal yearly handouts, so after your signing bonus is fully vested you can go somewhere else and collect another signing bonus

If the interviewer isn't an insecure rear end in a top hat who thinks their primary responsibility is proving that they're smarter than the candidate, then no, it doesn't matter at all. So basically a 50/50 as to whether it's relevant.

just because it happens verbally doesn't mean it can't be documented you should be writing this stuff down after it happens, with dates and times and the people who were there, somewhere you can access but the company doesn't know about. it'll be worth its weight in gold once things get bad enough that you want to sue over a hostile work environment.

remember, even if you know the average salary for the position, half of the people are making more than that. the other half are the people who didn't negotiate. so if you're stating the first number, don't say you want the average for the position. that's selling yourself way short.

It sounds like your notional manager doesn't actually talk to you at all, as a result has no idea what you're doing, and then is trying to make out their lack of managing as being your fault somehow? I've been in that situation before, and it sucks, but I doubt I'm the right person to give advice about it because the poor manager moved on and I ended up with a better one before too long.

i guess being a junior developer for decades gives you a lot of practice at quickly ramping up to meet junior developer expectations most people might expect to become a senior developer at some point instead of forever writing small changes based on what someone else has told them to do, but should we really be criticising someone for having a crippling lack of ambition?

the only reason a law firm would hire someone who's beep boop logical and completely incapable of social interaction is because they always need more warm bodies to chew through discovery and case law and such for pennies (but get billed to the client for big bucks). you're not making partner if you can't figure that poo poo out.

it's really just about not hiring complete asocial techlords like, look at how's posts, and imagine how odious they must be to work with in the real world. me personally, i totally did that on my first job interview out of university. interviewer asked me why i wanted to work there specifically, and i had nothing. i just kinda shut down and then mumbled something about how everyone's gotta work. and this was at a company i had interned at and knew a bunch of people! difference between me and how is that i realised how much of a dumb idiot answer that was, and was able to better myself as a person and become less of an asocial techlord before the next time i went out interviewing.

offshoring a single person is a really dumb idea, honestly if you were already distributed and used to working across timezones then sure, you could make weirdo hours work, but going from a single office to timezone-distributed for the sake of a single person is not a great path to take get him to move 8 hours eastwards and wfh at the same absolute time everyone else is working

Boiled Water posted:am i understanding you're paid less for being on call, or is it pay in addition? On-call pay is in addition to your regular salary, at least for the hours where you're not otherwise at work. For the hours where you are at work, I'm not sure whether you still get something extra or if it's just considered part of your regular duties. I haven't been on-call in half a decade.

CrazyLittle posted:uhhhhh i dont think that's how those work Having your signing bonus vest over several years is pretty standard practice to stop people jumping ship as soon as they've put in the requisite number of months. Of course in practical terms it means your pay drops after X years, so if you haven't been given an equivalent amount in raises by that point it's time to start hunting around for a new signing bonus.
