cerious posted:Yeah it feels really dumb to me too. Part of the concern was just coming from my dad telling me to consider those factors. Part of it is that I feel I don't know my market value at all. It'd be a lot easier for me to say yes if this came after several crappy offers or if I had more interviews. It seems like a very cool place to work but my only points of comparison are my lovely academic lab which was an awful work environment, and the other place I interviewed at which was also obviously just looking for someone with a pulse. I have no prior internships or industry experience. never listen to boomers or boomer analogues for job advice

qhat posted:at my old org i used to think that the prevalence of tech debt would be a good thing for me since there'd be a lot of opportunity to spearhead some great initiatives, like devops and the like, and then getting recognized as a highly valuable employee. at least that's what i thought until i realized that the tech debt also prevented the good ideas from being taken seriously at all. tech debt is the reification of org priorities it exists as a conscious or unconscious choice of the org and work contra org culture is not going to be valued unless you are hired by a c-level and have their full support (and can deliver quantifiable gains quickly), no ones going to value linting on commit when you should be shipping for revenue

Hughlander posted:So here's a question... How would you value intangibles like opportunities for fitness? I'm looking at two places both are going to be a 40-50 minute commute away. I got a kid and normally leave for work when they leave for school, and get home between 6:30 - 7:30 with a bedtime of 8:00p. So there's no real opportunity to go to a gym except during the lunch break at work. One place is going to come in lower than the other but has an on site fitness center that I could do cardio and light lifting at. If the work is both interesting, the tech is interesting, and the stability is interesting, and the only two differences are total compensation and access to fitness facilities. How would I assign a value to it? assuming you are not a perfectly spherical frictionless computer toucher in a vacuum and you can’t easily relocate how likely are you to use the facility? do you work out now? is it something that would improve your quality of life? how long are you planning on staying there? are you fit now? if you were contracting, how many billable hours would you pass up to work out?

be careful with lying on salary tho some (bad) companies require w-2s or use that employment verification service that discloses your last salary (like what jonny said moto used); total comp is a better way to frame it as with any negotiation advice its context specific, if your a frisco fullstack architect who has a dozen options if this blows up in your face; if ur a server janitor in erie pa with two local employers, maybe not?

this is real common feedback it’s possible that they thought at the beginning generic experience would make up for lack of subject X at the beginning of the process but after interviews figured out that wasn’t going to work or you suck and the lack of experience was a nice excuse or you sat in the interviewers favorite chair or they found somebody else it means nothing
