IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

Where do you live? What's your background? What do you want to do? PM me, we just did sizing for FY19 and need a person for next year, especially if you have experience with automation. We also have two open Req's already, one for primarily coordinating, and another in an advisory role. I'm on the DFS IT side of Dell. I'm in a tester role for third party merchants, and don't deal with Dell directly, but the rest of my team does.

I'll pm you

Serious question, who would pay for her housing if you moved?

I know what you're saying but we all know it isn't that cut and dry. I'd never force my wife to move somewhere she didn't want to be

Cad said:

By the same token if you can't get a job that gives you what you need and you need to move, would she override you without a thought? It has to be a give and take on such things.

I think she'd be open to discuss it, she's just very much against moving

When you were working at EMC weren't you like 90 minutes from work or some shit?

One hour. It's ok, I've had worse. Much worse

I've always worked in hardware so wfh was limited

I wish my wife wanted to move to CA

Don't get me wrong I still love my job but every job eventually becomes just a job. Only real difference is I have an actual passion for my product since it is for a company I love. But it isn't like M-F I wake up going "Oh boy! Work time!"

Also Orange County is stupid, stupid, stupid expensive. My combined income is ~200 now and no kids and I could just barely afford an entry level townhouse. Especially if you don't want to live in a sketch area. So basically south OC.

Agree work is work but when I worked at a job I enjoyed the days went quick

Speaking specifically to Dell. Our groups are split across India, Philippines, Brazil, Ireland, Canada, Mexico, Texas, Tennessee, and more - so remote is almost mandated. Only reason you'd need to be on site is for hardware support.

Where do YOU work, geographically?

Cause I got some bones to pick with your MozyPro bullshit.

How hard is it to find hardware programming jobs? One company I've always wanted to pursue working for is Joyent because it's basically all the best engineers from Sun building some awesome shit.

Yeah, it's retarded. Unless you move out to shitass IE or something, you are basically in poverty making < 200k within a 150 mile radius of LA.

I was actually surprised how many people said a major reason for applying at my company was to move to Southern California. Sure actually living in OC is great (especially near the coast where the temp is manageable all year) but you have to make a ton of concessions. It isn't necessarily a place I'd target to move to. If I had to live in IE/Riverside I'd rather just live in the Midwest than that furnace.

I'm 3/3 hardware programming jobs

Easy for me but the first one fell in my lap
