hey, your boss could be prevented by some rule thats well above his and his +1's paygrade to change hence them being blocked by HR this is actually even more reason to leave

Gee I hope I don't run out of money before I get a job. I've been on three interviews this week so maybe this will finally be my time

pathetic little tramp posted:It really doesn't help that most of my job is looking for problems in other peoples' code and you see the people getting paid more than you are not really meriting their level of pay. Today I'm looking at a piece of code that is used literally company-wide and what's the first line? var foo = eval(bar). I about poo poo myself. love the tech industry enshrining roles that primarily write new code as some sort of ubermensch who must be paid more than all other roles, while also eliminating independent QA the pay thing maybe works for faang who can afford to pay a premium for devs that write less lovely code the first go round, but their pulling up market rate pay sure as hell hasnt done any favors for the code quality of the rest of the market

any time #2 happens, that was a hard "no," and nothing that came out of hr's mouth ever mattered

My boss tried to pick option 3: Say, "I know what HR's answer will be, so I won't even ask," finally relent when I insisted they ask anyway, then gently caress off on vacation for two weeks, probably hoping I'll forget about it. Spoiler alert: I will not forget about it.

unless you work in the hr department, your boss doesn't report to hr if your boss comes back to you and says "your +2 said no" that implies he escalated and failed to press his suit. it sucks real bad, but at least you know where your boss stands on things if your boss comes back to you and says something about hr, that means "gently caress you"

HR doesn't make company decisions outside of "how do we best legally protect the company and get workers what they need (besides money) to make the company more money" Your boss referring to HR is blatant cowardice, if not contempt for you and your request

Man, if only there were a way to make sure all employees got regular raises that were in line, if not better, than local inflation But that said, yeah, HR is there to give plausible deniability for the company and your boss. They are not your friend. Any time you are interacting with HR beyond your first few days there is a bad sign, even indirectly like this*. *ok, one applicable HR interaction that's not bad is "hey, my name got changed because", such as transitioning and marriage. iospace fucked around with this message at 20:14 on Jul 11, 2019 |

FMguru posted:"youre important to my team and the company, but not important enough for me to fight to get you a raise. i hope this clarifies where you sit in my, and the companys, estimation." Yep. I think my boss also assumed I was asking for special treatment when I asked for more vacation time and the option to work from home, when really I think giving employees only two weeks a year is a loving travesty and nobody should be given so little time off. Boss also started talking about how if everybody were working from home, certain things wouldn't get done, because every manager around here is a loving coward, incapable of providing discipline, I guess. Anyway, I'm going to press the issue after they get back from vacation.

hiring sucks. someone help me out by being a good candidate. we are a sports analytics startup in Barcelona looking to hire several developers (basically doubling in size). unfortunately we cannot do visa sponsorship but if you are allowed to work in the EU, PM me. skills we need are data science and various backend/devops/cloud stuff like setting up databases, web services, streaming video, etc, but we will also be opening front-end positions in the fall so feel free to get in touch for that too if you're feeling proactive. anyways if you have some combination of skills we need we can tailor a position for you. hell, maybe you can even choose your title (no ninja bullshit) small team, greenfield project, Barcelona, football. lmk if you want to know more

since you're in the EU, why not share your salary range, so us american devs can laugh at it
|
# ? Jul 15, 2019 17:42 |
|
yep, there's the rub. we're pre-revenue so we have a hard time even competing with the local market (although we are trying to stay in line with our offers) 40 - 50 is the range we're shooting for. max we can afford is 60K total comp in case there's someone we want at all costs. so much for getting the candidate to give a number first

Wait, aren't US citizens eligible to work in the EU without a work visa, but they have to get a work/residence permit from the EU country when they get there?
|
# ? Jul 15, 2019 17:59 |
|
yeah I guess the thing we can't do is the work permit not the visa http://spainguru.es/residency-options/ and I guess technically you can arrive without the permit, it doesn't really work out that way given the timeframes involved I'm a US citizen myself. As co-founder of the company, with a PhD in a relevant field, it took us 8 months and several tries to get my work permit approved. It sucks but we can't be confident we'd be successful and we don't have that kind of time anyway.

# ? Jul 15, 2019 18:06 |

Yeah drat that sucks. I have a friend who comes from the world of sports analytics and speaks a little Catalan who I know is looking for something different, but that work permit thing is probably too messy.

Do you actually need a data scientist or do you really need a data engineer who can put together some analytics? You'll get fairly different candidates despite how close the roles seem.
