I used to down ibuprofen like candy and then one day my body decided that ibuprofen ruins my stomach now. it’s generally ok if I’ve eaten recently but it’s bad enough and enough of a dice roll that I generally choose between having a drink and not hurting when I have a headache or something

yes, tylenol works to make me not hurt. that’s why I have to choose between having a drink and not hurting. I guess I could drink and take it but I prefer having a liver that works

is there any good reason thatrecruiter posted:They are looking for a senior engineer to join their team in NY who can help them both provide oversight to their more junior engineers but most importantly somebody who can work directly with the CEO to help bounce around ideas and run R&D projects that will help drive the evolution of the firm. would require recruiter posted:Given the nature of the role the CEO has asked us to be discrete in our search until we've validated that candidates are a good fit, at which point we'd be more than happy to share full details of the firm. or is it just recruiter bullshit? normally I’d just assume the latter but the job and firm description sounded so good I want to get some outside opinions before I (politely) tell the recruiter to go gently caress herself

Depends on whether Lead means anything more than "something to promote seniors to" in that company. I've been in a team that had 3 Lead devs, who were just experienced regular devs with no additional responsibilities whatsoever (the dream).

my current company burned me so bad so now i do not believe a single loving company pitch anymorerecruiter posted:My client is an award-winning, well funded Tech company with offices in NY and London who have built an inference engine which is currently live with a number of Tier 1 Financial Service firms operating in the regulatory & compliance space but have plans this year to extend its use into other domains like autonomous vehicles / drones etc.. 1. we won the "most promising startup" award in some ycombinator circle jerk 2. we have 2 years of runway if we stick to paying way below market rate salaries 3. we have a PO box in london, and basically a desk in some startup nerd hub 4. we built some piece of poo poo keras/tensoflow thing we sold to some buzzword addicted boss, but it's not working too well so now we are pivoting to selling our crap to idiots who believe in self driving cars the recruiter is being "discrete" because they probably know the moment you look this place up on glassdoor they're going to get ghosted faster than a robocaller, and the only way to get butts in interview seats is playing this bullshit hide and seek game one more warning sign is that the CEO is looking for what seems to be a team lead. questions: who was the team that built their current product? what happened to the team lead? where are all the senior engineers? it seems there's two ways this can play out - the CEO is actually the team lead/senior engineer who built the current thing and now wants someone to take over. fair enough, but seems like a position with a lot of interpersonal issues built right in, because for some reason they are expecting an outsider to take over instead of someone in the team who is already familiar with all the stuff in the company. the second scenario is that the previous team lead bailed and again there is nobody on the team who can or will replace them. either way this position better come with good-great figgies because you probably will need to be a master diplomat in addition to your technical skills.

is it possible to get some company to fly you out to an on-site just to get a free mini-vacation what's the sweet spot for bay area companies where they're small enough to be desperate but big enough to pay for that i mean I know google or someone would pay for that, but not worth it to go through 10 google interviews first also i'm a terrible programmer, lol

prepping for a tech interview is depressing, especially knowing nothing you’re practicing will ever be relevant to the job super chuffed to be white boarding some tree traversal next week, or maybe it’ll be some longest subsequence or bit shifting bullshit that said, I had two on sites last week that barely probed any technical poo poo which made me a little suspicious

any company that's recruiting in not-their-local-area will fly you out and put you in a hotel. amazon and google put you in the fairmont, but any company'll put you in a decent hotel. my current place put the family in a holiday inn; it would've been a nicer hotel but we were driving up with our dog to check out the area some companies will put you up for 2 nights if you're going a long distance, but not all. when i interviewed at raytheon in baltimore from the west coast, they'd only do one night, but amazon would've given me two nights interviewing in seattle from southern california. i had them reschedule though 'cause basically i just wanted to get a beer with a friend in seattle, go to sleep, go interview, and then go home to ms. and toddler jones. also some good news for the thread: i passed the amazon and google on-sites and got a verbal offer from amazon. now i'm terrified that google will fall apart before the offer is made (that is, during placement) and that the amazon offer will vanish before the google offer materializes and i'll be stuck with nothing

Notorious b.s.d. posted:this almost never happens that's awesome to hear, thank you! amazon knows about the google thing (and vice versa) and they said that they weren't looking to strongarm me or anything, i'm just super nervous. the google positions are in kirkland and sunnyvale and my brain kinda just shuts down when i think of bay area cost of living and making decisions like this. the last time i went job hunting, it was because i was pretty sure i was gonna get laid off if i didn't (the company sold its main product), but this time i just sort of put myself out there and two months later i have these offers and can't really convince myself it's not all a big mistake

since starting to work for BigTechCo in NYC i've been flown out to the bay area for 2 weeks, and holy poo poo how do people live there? not only is it unnecessarily expensive, but what are you even paying for? there is nothing to do there, except maybe visiting your company's campus. i really hate it so much

i wish i could get companies here to wait for me to get other processes finished. i don't know if it's because i went through a recruiter but the mentality just does not exist. the usual decision time i have got is 1 week or 2 weeks tops. it's take it or leave it, and i don't know if it's just that i have not had the guts to call this bullshit or (more likely) the companies just expect that once you are interviewing with them, it is them alone that you want to work with and i know cases that even mentioning that you are talking to other companies as well is enough to end the process right there and then japan. thank you

The current company I am at flew me out and back on the same day, but it was only a one hour flight.  Heck, at the time they just had 11 people. If a company is too cheap to fly you out, it’s not a company at which you should even consider working.

I've got a feeling that wether my solution is judged to be over engineered or not will depend entirely on some domain specific knowledge that I was very upfront about not having (it basically comes down to wether the inconsistency in the original code is the bug I was supposed to fix, or necessary flexibility)
