I'm interviewing some people this week in general I love interviewing and think I'm pretty okay at it, but it's been probably 2 years at this point since I've been on the interviewer side of things, so probably a little rusty

im happy at current job, but still think im underpaid for all the stuff i do and how well i do it (compared to others around me) i already know from experience than i am better than a lot of people ive worked with that have 3/4/5 times the experience i do main problem is convincing other people of this in an interview scenario

also one recruiter telling me "you cant ask for that much, the people interviewing you probably arent making that much" lol and the amount of "you need to move to london, anywhere else is just a dead end" lol

Yes yes we all have but that's not the discussion at hand. If you're a remote worker I would recommend using video chat as often as possible. Even if it's for a 30 second question. Just make sure the other party or parties is cool with it

okay friends, life circumstances have taken a turn for the poo poo for me and i need to go find different employment. i still have my current job, but this place is wobbling like a penguin and i should get out now while i still can. i have a couple months before the wheels pop off the cart, so it isn't as if I'll be on the street if i don't find a job tomorrow, but there is pressure. my problem is that i have no loving idea how to go about this or where i would fit in. i can code python some, i feel like i could pass your average coding interview based on my experiences & practice with sample quizzes, but i have no degree and any professional experience is stuff that I've just blarneyed together. halp.

I’d recommend lowering your “working on work” time so youre only 10% better than everyone else, and then spending the rest of your time gaining knowledge on other technologies to improve your own personal value

ok so professional advice time: i accepted an offer today, but i am also open to other opportunities/positions in the area that might be good for me as well. im going to continue interviewing. if it turns out that i get offered something more compelling, is it okay to renege on the previous offer? since further negotiation for that one isnt possible from what i can tell no take-backs? or everything goes?

you said what you wanted, if someone else gives you that you go with them like imagine this is literally any other business relationship. if we bid at 100/widget and someone else comes in at 90 you don’t get mad at the customer you lost

# ? Feb 27, 2018 19:49 |

true, but the timing is the question. can you still do that after accepting an offer?

unless you sign something that has penalties attached ps if they have you sign something with penalties attached don’t

it's at will employment. anything goes, legally. it is possible but unlikely that this will have industry repercussions. don't make it a habit (i.e. don't let this jumping around show up on your resume) but you can do anything you want here in hell country

# ? Feb 27, 2018 19:56 |

nope nothin the nature of at will employment makes this a two-way street such that i can leave at any time too

alright welp if a more compelling offer comes my way in the next couple weeks i might take it but ive got this one as a backup at least yay

we have had people accept offers with us, their start date comes, they dont show up, no call/email/text whatever its a pain in the rear end but whjatever. time to find someone else to fill the position

tbh i would say take the job, but then also don't start off immediately disgruntled and spend all your time on prep for other interviews so you can chase a higher salary. you need to dedicate most of your resources to onboarding at your new job, otherwise they will notice how disengaged you are, and you'll be out of there in 3 weeks as a "mistake hire who just wasn't a good fit and didn't work out". now you're right back where you started but with a perfectly good offer burned. give the job a chance, who knows, you might like it
