I've come to the realization that, if I'm going to go back to school in the summer/fall while keeping my family obligations at least marginally satisfied, I'm going to need to have a job that doesn't regularly require 50 hour weeks and that probably means stepping back to desktop or even help desk. my career.

I'm not even loving kidding, either. That being said, there's another .edu (a better one) in town as well and they're maybe looking?

About 30 minutes in the lead interviewer just said "I've got no more questions' in a good sort of way and then the other dude asked a half-assed 'soft' question that I possibly ballsed up, but this afternoon they came back and they want me to start. I've got the feeling I could have pushed for more, but I'm not complaining about ~£140k in London.

had the weirdest phone interview just now: - called two hours earlier than arranged - caller id showed up as unknown so I let it go to voicemail the first time - kept stammering and putting me on hold - also I have no idea what I was actually interviewing for lol, the position name he mentioned didn't match anything I had applied for

got ghosted today for a technical call, but it was wework so... eh? salary chat: making 86k in nj(far enough to not warrant nyc salary apparently) first job out of college(2015) got hired at 75k with 10k bonus i put in for all my PTO before this PIP starts, manager approved it and hasn't started the process with hr yet. i really think she just wants me to quit so she doesn't have to do paperwork.

the one thing i haven't seen mentioned about PIPs is: dont sign you'll be pressured to, but the only thing you really *need* to do is sign to acknowledge receiving the document, make it clear that's what you're doing im sure you can dredge up a michealochurch about why this is the best course of action graduated 2005, 178+10, rsu/espp mean my W2 comes in at ~280

bleh. post-final-interview rejection number three, austin trip was a waste that was my last lead still beyond the application stage so, back to square one i go, i guess just wish i knew why so it didn't hurt so much

Ciaphas posted:bleh. post-final-interview rejection number three, austin trip was a waste The hiring manager saw a bee walking out of the meeting room, a bee stung them once, you remind them of bees now, therefore you can't get hired. My advice here is it's not worth wondering why. As someone who has sat on the other side there's so much random poo poo that happens in the process that it's a miracle it's not a complete dice throw. Could be a budget issue, could be the candidates before you randomly guessed the exact magic words the manager was looking for to a question. Just keep going at it and sooner or later the odds will land in your favor.

my current client passed on the intern i selected to hire because they weren’t enthusiastic *enough* about the patriots. i used to get real beat up by the constant rejections the last few times i was on the hunt but now that i’ve seen the other side i couldn’t give less a poo poo. it’s basically throwing dice at a wall until some happen to land the right way. you can angle your wrist a bit but that’s about it
