The 2nd guy I interviewed this week was better than the first and I recommended him for hire. He looks like an old timey train conductor a little bit, which although a positive trait did not influence my decision.

Job I got by being a nerd is going very loving well. Culture and clicking matters wwaaaayyy more than industry or tech stack poo poo. That said airplanes are cool. Also imposter effect from $job[-1] is gone because a decent place that lets you relax makes you work much better. I've been told I'm "tearing through work". Lol

When it comes to Glassdoor, focus on the negative reviews for the past two years and identify the common themes. No matter how great a place is, there will always be people who hate it and will leave a negative review. When you have dozens of people leaving a negative review with the same trends, it indicates a problem and if it's long term, it means the company isn't working to address it.

the types of employers who do ask previous salary are a) not worth working for anyways and b) probably not going to be discouraged from continuing to ask when there's only a minuscule chance they'll face any monetary damages from doing so in the event they're ever actually reported.

should I feel guilty if I take the first job offer I get, if it happens to be a good one? out of places that I've applied to similar to this role, this one is at by far the best company and by far the best location (portland OR vs places like AZ, TX). obvious downside is lack of negotiating power, but im entry level with not much else to offer, and the offer is pretty excellent for my field. the main downside im seeing is that I didn't really apply outside my field or at smaller companies, as I was planning on doing that after I graduated. so even if I did have other offers then they'd all be within the same industry and role, and this current offer would still be better. im not in CS but i am in engineering, at a company that yospos and sh/sc like to make fun of.

It'd be easier to decide if I had any other offers but I have none so far. So if I turn it down it's going to be a long while until I hear back from anyone else. I'm pretty sure I'll take it, it's just that I have explored so few other options and I have very little interview experience under my belt as well. This was only my second on-site interview, and the first was for an uninteresting/low paying role that I used exclusively as practice. I've never made it further for any other fabs in the states. cerious fucked around with this message at 19:19 on Jun 30, 2018 |

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. I'm just not sure if these concerns are important at all.

You know what sucks more than working a job you don't like for six months while you search for another job? Being unemployed for six months while you search for another job.

being unemployed means having no limits (except maybe gas money) on your ability to jump at opportunities & if you stay unemployed for six mos under those conditions outside of a recession what are you doing?

like i remember shotgunning out my resume to every job that was even tenuously related to my experience and not hearing back from the vast majority of places, even when my resume perfectly matched the job description. i turned down one offer right at the start to go for a much more lucrative position at another company, which in hindsight was not a great idea since i didn't get an offer at the other place and spent the following 3 months job hunting again. there were months were literally nothing that fitted my skills (mostly C++, scripting, databases, and web services) showed up on indeed because vancouver is heavily into web dev rather than backend work. then finally in august i got 5 interviews in a single month and got an offer. i've been employed at this joint for about 11 months now and i've only made 3 applications to other companies, all of which received a response. i cannot stress enough how much more valuable you appear to another company if you are currently employed.

So actually my concerns about not getting more interview practice have been totally taken care of today. I got an email from a place I thought I bombed out of weeks ago for an onsite interview, so I'll just take the flight out to Virginia and see what's up. The role would be similar to the intel one (semiconductor process engineering) so my main goal is to just get an idea of how other companies in semiconductors operate. Strangely enough they're willing to accommodate a guest to come with me, so I suppose I'll just take my mom with me too. Is this a thing companies actually do? As far as I know this is a literal entry level position, unless I've somehow fooled the people on the other end of the phone... C.H.O.M.E. posted:oh then hello maybe future coworker, i do pre- si stuff in austin Nice, I'll be doing process engineering too. No clue what I'll actually be doing though. They are very tight lipped.
