drunk mutt posted:What is the stance if a company requests time spent in their HQ, which is overseas, for a substantial amount of time to on board? I've had to do this for most remote jobs; it was often just 1 week to get your equipment (you want to actually make sure all your hardware works as expected -- including from outside their network), signing some HR stuff in person, and getting face time with people you'll then interact with offline, but has been longer for some other jobs I've had. I think one was around 2 weeks but they had specific training to give before they'd send me to do consulting-like tasks at customer sites. The more remote-friendly, the shorter the first in-office presence tends to be. 1 week is normal, 2 is long; anything longer is kinda weird in my experience, I'd expect they can give you an agenda of everything to show they really need you that long.

that sounds like how amazon does its bonuses. basically they give you a constant salary of x, but the first year x is 90% salary and 10% stock, switching to 50/50 over three or four years. they call the x where x equals a year's comp minus (that years stock plus the base salary) "bonus" even though it isn't tied to perf- it's just salary-equivalent of your stock grant

Outside of cracking the code is there a decent resource on algorithms, data structures, and etc to use? I think it's my biggest weakness in programming interviews and i'd really like to earn more figgies at one of the bigger tech companies in the region.

Remember that this is a business trip, they should be paying for your travel, accommodation, and meals during that process. Make sure you get up-front the numbers on how much they're able to reimburse you, and keep your receipts.

I talked to the owner about being able to admin my local machine so I don’t have to raise my hand and have the teacher open my juicebox everytime I want to update notepad and the reply was a gasp and “but that’s against policy!!” I reempowered myself by raining my resume across every local oppurtunity and have two job interviews next week. SO thinks I should undo the blue in my hair but I think if they hold that against me that it would be a big indicator that it’s full of squares and I don’t want to be there.

yeah local admin 99.999999% of the time means you’re gonna put some dumb bullshit on your machine and stop the windows update service. it’s policy for a reason

I will write the crappy software that makes the company 1000x more than they pay me. The sys admins can janitor all the laptops and servers that enable the labor theft. They are different skills.

Both my current and previous employers found ways to give developers local admin rights on their workstations. The previous one had loads of monitoring and everything ran on a vm in a walled off VPN (didn't even issue company laptops by default as you would just remote in to the vdi).

Yep.I was wrong. I never had local admin at my previous jobs, but their IT teams had things set up seamlessly so that I could do whatever I needed to do semi-safely. current job is not that. There are no virtual machines. Developers can not make changes to anything. There is no ticket system for these changes. It's an unholy poo poo mess of emails and phone calls and nothing is tracked. Typically developers aren't updating or trying anything new because of the colossal hassle involved. If something absolutely must be changed, IT just hands us admin privileges for an undetermined amount of time with the expectation that we not say anything to anyone so we don't get in trouble for breaking policy. Was asking for local admin dumb? yeah, i know what I need to ask for now. but all the right people where there to have the conversation of "how do we fix this problem?" and instead they told me to just email the issue to IT and we moved on. If any of the options that The Fool put forward were offered I would have enthusiastically responded YES PLEASE. but those aren't viable to an IT team that is struggling to keep from drowning and isn't getting the resources they need to be effective. It's baffling. We have pretty much a blank check on the development side, but those poor bastards are constantly struggling.

most likely because the work you developers do is directly on a product that makes the company money the company is just seeing IT as an expense / road block
