Pie Colony posted:since starting to work for BigTechCo in NYC i've been flown out to the bay area for 2 weeks, and holy poo poo how do people live there? not only is it unnecessarily expensive, but what are you even paying for? there is nothing to do there, except maybe visiting your company's campus. i really hate it so much
it's like living in northern new jersey. nobody really likes new jersey enough to pay new jersey prices and new jersey tax rates. but you can commute into a major job center (the city) and you're only a couple hours away from cool hiking/climbing/whatever

Failed another coding screen last night. Usually I post the questions to my github, but I couldn't be assed this time. I am really not good at translating pseudocode and descriptions on how to solve the problem on paper to working code.gonadic io posted:meanwhile here i am recording webcam answers to interview questions in some online timed bullshit thing Gross. I did one only once and it was for an internship at Epic. Although I am very glad I never did get out there. I sincerely hope that it is worth the effort for you.

i've got two interviews coming up at the same institute for different roles on the same research project - one is more support/technician and one actual researcher but both look pretty good to me coming from two years of casual work outside the field. i live in a super remote area and jobs in my field are rare enough here that i'd take almost whatever is going even if it weren't a cool project with good pay like this one. a little nervous about how rusty i am though, and this job is moving a little from my background in computer vision with ai to remote sensing with ml - i get the feeling nobody on their team is that big in ml at the moment and so they're looking for someone to take the lead on it in the researcher role i don't have any specific questions but i wanted to post about my hopefully triumphant return to interviewing for tech jobs, thanks big scary monsters fucked around with this message at 23:36 on Jan 13, 2019 |

oh i guess the other thing i'm unsure about is that the project lead will be on both interviews with the others present being a union rep (i guess that's normal in norway? dunno) and different people on the specific teams i'd be working with. i've never interviewed for multiple positions with the same company before and i feel like it's going to be weird trying to sell myself for two different jobs to the same guy

do BigTech companies usually walk you out if you give notice and you’re going to another BigTech company? I don’t see why they would but I feel like I’ve heard of it happening

Sniep posted:i was walked out of Level 3 within an hour of sending the email with my 2 weeks notice this part of American corporate culture has always been particularly alien to me. I just can't understand the kind of workplace that puts that little trust in its employees. here, you give your three month notice and not only do you keep working for those three months, at the end there's usually a farewell party with cake and your boss gives a speech where they say something nice about your time there and how much they'll miss you and best wishes in your further career etc. sometimes it's even sincere and not just canned phrases. even when I worked bottom tier phone support in a call center they gave me that level of courtesy when I quit. only one month notice in that place though.

This has been a pleasant change of pace since moving to Stockholm. At the startup I was at in OKC the CEO told me to go gently caress myself when I resigned and told me to leave.
