c interviewing s: finally loving interviewed someone right for the job. we came close to throwing out her resume because at first glance it looked like someone who was involved entirely in testing and was trying to pass themselves off as a dev but when we looked closer at her portfolio saw that she was exactly who we were looking for. just got off the phone and it sounds like it will actually be a fit. we've turned down like ten people now and i was starting to ask myself if we were being too picky

This morning my mom forwarded standard recruiter spam clearly meant for me that for some reason was sent to her email. Our email addresses are significantly different to the point that there’s no way they fat-fingered something like [first inital]lastname@yos.pos (plus it’s all sent via automated tooling anyway) I’m sure there’s a million graph DBs out there with harvested data that have an edge between us labeled “Mother/Son” so I guess some recruiting tool decided that means her email is my email?

yeah when i worked for a finance company i got like 15% bonus in a good year. new company the bonus sucks but base is almost double what i was making there so, lol

my bonus target is 15% of salary. multiplier is based on performance. "meets expectations" is 1.0. i got 1.2 for exceeds expectations and 1.4 for strongly exceeds. id rather have it as salary for obvious reasons but getting a big pile o cash to do something with or open palm slam into savings isn't nothing

when i worked in finance, we had quarterly bonuses equal to 8-30% of your total compensation for the respective quarter. getting 8% meant you're about to be fired, and you could go above 30%, but would be paid in additional pto

one of the things i really liked about my last job was our bonuses were based entirely on objective metrics, our billable hours for the quarter, and it paid out quarterly. so if you had a lovely quarter it didn't completely gently caress your bonus for the year new job's base salary pays more than last job's base + bonus though soo
|
# ? Oct 7, 2021 23:42 |
ours was similar, my department was measured by a single kpi basically, so if we hit our targets for the quarter 25% bonus was guaranteed, with last 5% being the colleague feedback/individual performance bit

Did an interview for a 6 month contract/contract to hire position and it went well. Except I have almost no desire to do a contract role unless the $$ is nuts. Should I just continue down the rabbit hole for interview experience? How should I convert a yearly salary to $/HR?

# ? Oct 8, 2021 22:09 |

I’d want at least 30% more than an equivalent full time salary, assuming it’s a w2 contract with benefits, ie if you normally make 100k ask for at least 65/hr

divide by 2040 to get ostensible annual => hourly wage. mult by 2.5 to get at a deec contract wage. i used to straight double but not anymore. too many ft jobs to be had

Should I just continue down the rabbit hole for interview experience? How should I convert a yearly salary to $/HR? up to you to decide to continue. to get gross hourly rate, assuming paid holidays and sick leave and regular office schedule, just divide the yearly salary by 250, and and then that number by 8 or however many hours is the average working day length in your whereabouts if your contracting role, like many, offers no paid holiday or sick leave for legal reasons, then what you should be seeing is at least 10-20% higher hourly rate than a non-contract role for the same would offer, since you will have to “pay” for your absences with an actual loss of income. different countries will also have different taxation regimes for contractors, so e.g. i personally ignore anything contract that’s less than 150% of my “office salary” for long term contracts, say a permanent contract reviewed every 6 months, to actually break even and make _some_ profit. the added hassle of short term contracts is a lot, so i add extra 100% if it’s shorter than 6 months, and another 100% on top if it’s shorter than 3 months or is otherwise a one-off thing cinci zoo sniper fucked around with this message at 22:39 on Oct 8, 2021 |

Good info. Thank you & thank you to the other posters who chimed in. I ended up doing some more research on the company and the reviews are *poo poo*. Definitely don't want to work there. It sounds like turnover is huge & there is no wlb.

Amazon recruiters keep reaching out to me on an email address that I have never used in my professional career, ever. No resumes, no applications, nothing. But somehow they know who I am and have some vague idea that I do work that AWS might be hiring for. It's really loving uncomfortable. I wonder if you got slurped up in a system like that with your mom's email associated to you.

Hey, I've been a PM in a healthcare company for like 4 or 5 years at this point and posted up stream in thread about my PM journey and finding jobs as well! Please forgive the giant incoming block of text and please feel free to correct me if anyone has thoughts or opinions. I am only freshly in the job market and have limited, but hopefully direct and helpful experience with job searching and resume writing! My thoughts layered in theflyingexecutive posted:Here's the new resume, with a couple more questions: Regarding the resume specifically: Talent Coordinator - How many departments did you coordinate and what was achieved because of your coordination? you like uh decreased time spent standing around waiting for stuff, you managed dependencies proactively to ensure multiple schedules aligned to deliver xyz on time, something like this. it doesn't need to be as specific as like "Grew market share by 69% or decresed bounce rate by 420%" but talk about making something better. - How many actors - ish is included in this? I would also attempt to layer in something like ~ distributed network of 200+ full time employees~ ? I think you could frame this pretty well. not sure how though - Can you frame a bit how you maintained compliance? Did you hold cross functional multi departmental meetings with external subject matter experts and internal HR personnel? Did you do significant research and communicate regulatory knowledge to stakeholders to influence strategic decision making? -so this is actually really nice and uses timeframes and budgets which makes me excited. Can you expand on this (or PM me?) because that's a fuckin banger that I would maybe lead with and spend a few lines talking about it. General note: Did you ever.....Proactively identify bottlenecks, provide escalation management or anticipate and make tradeoff and balances requirements versus technical constraints while managing project timelines? using your industries vocab? Try to be action oriented and provide an outcome for that action in your resume generally. I would stress any sort of like multi-departmental meetings and coordinating you did or were part of ? LRA: did you ever suggest improvements to your manager regarding the laboratory techniques or is that a no no? I am not familiar with this space. sry I see you presented.....Is it safe to say you are comfortable expressing complex technical concepts to non technical or specialized audiences? Are you comfortable or at ease speaking and presenting to small and large groups across all organizational levels including C-suite? Did you ever provide training to fellow employee's? cause thats a big one too. Instructor: - ok, cut this if you need space imo unless you can frame this....better. I'm sorry I have no specific guidance. - Really like your learning growth opportunities language and bullet point. - Managed reporting etc etc is pretty powerful. Again I'd like to know a little more if you can share but like....are you familiar with maintaining compliance through layered regulatory environments, because thats what it sounds like? to what extent were you the one who managed a team or did it yourself that gathered this data? Did you have to create a repeatable process in this space even if no one other than you did it? Bottom stuff: Collapse maybe education and publication to the same little box? Is your Volunteer Work a huge value add? Can you talk about the stuff you did there? Cleaning the bottom up gives you more room to talk about stuffs. Hope I helped a bit and this already looks super solid and you've come a long way!! e: In my opinion, generally from the hiring side not the candidate side, I always considered explicitly listing microsoft software you know outside of like.... PowerBI and Azure stuff to be an indicator that this person is super junior. Maybe kill that? e: I also found it really helpful to look at job descriptions and resume samples and than be like oh yeah i did that! and rework it for my own use. It will def help it read more consistently with other PM style resumes Waroduce fucked around with this message at 18:31 on Oct 9, 2021 |

you don't want revenue for an A round. once you have revenue you're valued on that rather than whatever metric you can scrounge up that gives a nice up and to the right graph. you do need something that's going up fast, though.
