Really depends on the role and org. Sales come and go with some frequency, director level rarely have tenure more than 3 years unless they are part of the OG crowd. Smaller companies like the one I left and the one I start on Monday are probably pretty tolerant of it. Big corporate on the other...

Ya know. It occurs to me that after hiring in the tech nerd programmer space for the past decade or so I have not once interviewed a single female candidate. Not one. Why do bitches hate coding so much!?

I never watched this. Will check it out.

Like I said. I genuinely enjoyed working there. They just historically pay below market rate and the market rate for data platform engineering exploded in the past 5 years. It significantly eclipses app dev now and is simply far too much money for me to ignore. As I was moonlighting for 5 years...

Remind me about this one? What is the significance of this particular structure?

I'd say don't spend all this time waxing philosophical. Go for it. Simple as.

Ah this sounds like the male version of one of my sisters! She did all of this except replace construction with career waitressing and the fat stripper with a broke ex-junkie. The medical calls don't go to me as my mom is still alive but she does that too. I've mentioned this in other threads...

For the new job I start on Monday I submitted a good amount of applications and rejected an easy high paying position I got offered. Only to have a recruiter reach out to me and get a job I am excited about. So you ain't alone.

Hmmm, actually it appears my direct manager is also leaving and me leaving came as such a surprise he didn't want to announce until I was gone. LOL.

In the office this last week. CIO tells me to my face I can come back anytime. I don't really know how to interpret that. Is he just being nice? Is he being serious? Would I get the much higher market rate if I did return? He isn't one to just say bullshit so I think he's serious but I've never...

Sadly ghosting is the absolute norm now. A decade ago ghosting just didn't happen. Maybe like 15 years ago I guess. @Cutlery This will sound gay because it is. Use AI to tighten up your resume. Not for buzzwords but for concise phrasing and summarization of your experience. Once I did that I...

I love how silly this show is. I lost it when the badass marine guy shows up and he is smoking two cigars at the same time. Because fuck it, that's just cool.
