On the Uber back to LAX and I think it went fantastically well. The dude who would be my team lead was this awesome stereotypical Italian man that worked at NeXt with Steve Jobs. Welp time to head home and grind out more applications.

I got to file for unemployment yesterday! Now I get 3 more screens (2 phone one in person) today, an amazon on site on Thurs and then nothing for another week. I hate how ritualized the process is at this point... Submit resume. Schedule call with recruiter. Recruiter calls sells job Schedule call with hiring manager Hiring Manager screen Recruiter passes you off to on site coordinator <long rear end wait for no reason> On Site Coordinator asks when you're available Schedule on site for a week or two out. Same drat bullshit all the loving time.

It loving sucks, and the worst part is hyping up every job in your mind so you've got the right "energy" for the interview, then explaining to yourself that the job was poo poo after they pass on you. I had an interviewer ask if a role was "exciting enough" for me during an interview, after I had explained several times how interested I was, what the gently caress do you want from me dude, to shout it from the roof tops? I need a job rear end in a top hat

hobbesmaster posted:maybe its code for "i hate my job its boring as poo poo" Nanh this was from their new director. After they passed on me I told the recruiter it was no big deal, I don't know if it would have worked out anyway, mainly because of him, and he hinted that it wasn't the first time he'd heard that.

since financial software is in many ways deeply boring, much like my posting, people during the interview for newjob did kind of ask me if I had the temperament for it come to think of it I got asked that in my interview for my old job too

My boss in our last one-on-one asked if I was "having fun here." I only kind of answered by saying, "I'm happy I figured out how to do feature X and I'll be relieved when project Y is in the rear-view mirror." They didn't object to that answer, so I guess it worked??

So how do I word it to other places that hey I've had an on-site I think might lead to an offer please hurry your poo poo up without sounding like a pompous rear end in a top hat? I don't want to make decisions like move across the country in a vacuum . Also what are real opinions on being in LA for tech specifically mobile? Will I be screwed if for whatever reasons things don't work out?

Hey I'm just letting you know that I just had an on-site with company X that I think went well, but I'd still very excited about you, company Y, and wanted to make sure you know where I was in my process so that neither of us miss a potential opportunity.

I don't want to make decisions like move across the country in a vacuum . I'd pretty much word it like that. "I have an offer on the table but I'm interested in what you may come back with. I need to provide a response by X so if there's interest I need an answer from you by X-2." LA itself? I only know of a few game studios out there doing mobile related things but there's probably much more. If you append it to be Santa Monica or Irvine (bitch commutes) there's a lot of things that way mobile and otherwise.

recruiter reached out and they want to extend an offer after one final interview session with the head of product and engineering. no numbers yet. how to accurately calculate cost of living and take home salary? need to make sure numbers are actually worth it. so having an idea in my head when they come with numbers or if i cave when they ask. Not moving across the country for a 10k raise. but god drat does this feel good for me mentally.

Had the best interview last Friday. The guy immediately asked me if I could move across the country within a month, and when I said no he said we're done. I know it sounds bad, but it was very polite and he wasn't condescending in any way. I hardly own anything, but I can't imagine who could commit to a move like that. I definitely would prefer more interviews like that instead of being strung along. But now I have to look for places to apply to.

it was sent by a recruiter among a bunch of other general things like "conscientiousness" and "great communication skills" it does offer about 15% above market rate (for the UK outside London, which is, uhh, somewhat over 40k pounds) the money is the main reason I'll give it a go, I can always drop it if it indeed turns out crap edit: on a semi-related note I know H1Bs get treated badly but the money is tempting sometimes Private Speech fucked around with this message at 01:23 on Apr 17, 2019 |

Private Speech posted:is "ability to overcome naysayers and blockers to pursue management goals" among key capabilities a red flag also phrased as: You have strong influencing skills, allowing you to be comfortable in pushing back and providing direction for your team, colleagues and stakeholders Honestly, organisational politics and having to defend a position is a real thing. Change is sometimes hard, and some people can make it harder.
