PIZZA.BAT posted:you also pay more in taxes. so even if you ignore all of that you still come out behind idk where you folks get the idea that contract jobs mean self-employed, if a company went through the trouble of hiring a recruiter they're not going to just cut you 1099 checks

maybe it's just larger companies, most of which have vendor liability requirements for insurance purposes. I've never worked 1099 for a company larger than a couple dozen people

I worked at a large corp as a 1099 via a recruiting vendor. It felt very wrong when doing it, and did actually get me brought on FT because the vendor was getting poo poo canned. But it happens.

Yeah, wasn't suggesting making it public...I guess that might have been what was taken by the statement? I could rephrase it as, "put it on your {generic cloud SCM provider} with a {license that protects you}". But you are correct that it shouldn't be public. EDIT: Also, it is known that it's not like this will gain you anything in the long run. If they use your code, it's used, good luck in courts.

if there's no way you'd find out should they decide to just take your code, the only way you can really prevent them from doing it is by not giving it to them in the first place. if you're not willing and able to take them to court in the event that you find out they just took your code, then the same is still true. if you do care about it enough to litigate over it, then what you want to do is make it easier to litigate over it, by having proof that you wrote it at some particular point in time (e.g. a copy uploaded to your github account with a particular timestamp), and proof that they knew it was copyrighted when they copied it (e.g. a copyright notice in every source file). marking it as (c) yourself, all rights reserved is enough - all an open-source license does is say "actually they're allowed to just steal it, under these particular conditions".

no company has ever given me an offline coding exercise that would be in any degree "useful" for their business the idea of doing anything to prevent a company from "using" exercise code comes off as flagrant vanity

Don't waste your time with take home projects if you can afford to. Tell them no thanks and move on.

we did in person interviews for an entry-level data janitor/cj position here Friday. our industry is manufacturing. came down to two candidates candidate one has basic cj experience at another larger business in town. they appeared very eager to learn, presented themselves well and had lots of questions for us. not much in the way of db experience except for college classes. clean, relevant cover letter and concise resume candidate two has over twelve years of experience, is working for a competitor in our same industry and looking to not commute as much and have a better overall job situation. they are extremely overqualified by every metric of the job posting. have used our main ERP software package. they submitted a two page cover letter, four page resume that was all over the place my co worker who is on the decision committee here favors the OQ'ed person as it will relieve our day-to-day stresses on the db side immediately i disagreed, saying even though candidate two meets and exceeds all of the requirements they have demonstrated during the interview they will be hard to keep on task and quickly unsatisfied with what we would consider to be "basic" work. there will be a ramp-up time with candidate one however i feel this person as a whole will be a better fit and meets the metrics of the job posting more closely. we put the db skills section as optional in the resume as to attract a greater pool of candidates internally and externally since the likelihood of capturing someone with relevant db experience would be difficult or near impossible at this pay scale. i argued for candidate one also on this because that lack of knowledge can't be held against them what would you do? note there is also the option of opening the posting back up (it was posted pre-'rona and then put on hold)

candidate two understands what i can only assume to be a big pay cut to work with us as the competitor, how do i put this, sucks. they were bought by vc money a few years ago. an offer won't dissuade them but conversely i am sure there's a price

It basically comes down to whether your short term pain is enough to justify having to go through the hiring process again in a year or so when the overqualified candidate leaves. It might be, but that's a call for your team to make.

would rather teach candidate one than babysit candidate two. the interview with # two was off the wall energy. never seen someone want to eat a pay cut so badly with that much experience. spoke of "moving up" but we're pretty flat structurally and a manufacturing company, not tech so i worry about that

am I being dumb trying to find companies that look like they're trying to make the world a better place? I joined a medical software company in the hope of helping people and now it looks like the owners look at medical issues as a means to a buyout from a larger company and are misogynists that fire women who tell them they're doing things wrong then tell the (remaining) employees on how the company values include "ruthless honesty". on the other end I was part of a company whose software was basically fintech but the people were awesome and the problems were interesting. I'm looking for a new job but about the only thing that potentially meets my idealistic criteria would be research institutions funded by federal money and lol at job security there.

Bigcos will have various divisions where your entire goal is just to make some aspect of the world better (and doing so ends up making the company more money through various less-direct means). It doesn't take much to be able to tune out the larger business goals and just focus on your personal aims of making that part of the world better. It's very much dependent on finding the right part of the bigco though, and also that bigco not doing anything so heinous that you're unwilling to work for them even if it's somewhere totally unrelated.
