Welp. Had a tech phone screen at friend's company this morning. I thought it went well, but I definitely bungled an answer about SQL that was rookie league, and I felt like an idiot afterwards. Also had an interesting conversation about rpc abd I had thought I was wrong at the time, but in retrospect I'm not sure what we were disagreeing about. I'm curious what the follow-up will be if anything, but I'm not sweating over it... And just as I type this I get an email for an on-site. Yay.

Oh and we had a 17 year veteran of my current place rage quit this week. He didn't storm out in anger, but considering he doesn't have anything lined up, I consider it a rage quit. His wife works with us as well so that made it super interesting.

But you better have a couple years worth of savings.

cis autodrag posted:Yeah, a friend at an old job quit because his job was literally killing him from stress and he had a much easier time job hunting after. But you better have a couple years worth of savings. I'm in the same boat where my job is affecting my health and I realized it would be easier to job hunt if I could actually concentrate on it. I definitely have enough saved up that I could go a year alone no problem, but I agree with qhat 100% on this; it becomes a negative stigma for mostly stupid reasons if you are unemployed while job hunting. I stress again that I don't want to leave my current company, but I haven't been able to do anything outside of work for the past year because I've been so mentally exhausted. If it's anything that requires any sort of decision planning, I go into some horrible decision paralysis where I just ignore it (I've been meaning to plan a trip to Florida for three months to visit relatives. All I have to do is pick a date and book a flight). Sadly I can't see things getting any better here in the next year, unless I leave. I thought about transitioning over to a product owner role, but they distinctly said they will not share the pay banding information for the role ("it's a lateral move") and I don't want to move over and find out I've killed my earning potential (and still have to deal with the dysfunction in our development department).

Consider that pissing away the years in a job using the same moldy tech doesn't help your employability either e: specifically, waiting for the "right opportunity" to come along that just happens to be convenient to interview for while holding your current job. recruiters would gladly throw me at dozens of interviews for positions i don't really want until i get sacked for low attendance Gazpacho fucked around with this message at 22:24 on Mar 14, 2018 |

Like I get leaving because you're burned out, but honestly you have no idea how long you'll be unemployed for, and a lot of companies outright look at you like broken goods if you don't have a current job. It doesn't help your leverage when negotiating salary either. I mean do what you gotta do, I just wouldn't recommend it.

I've more or less decided that if I don't get a huge pay rise this summer, I'm going to fire resumes out like no tomorrow. My entire team is having a meeting next week literally on the topic of how awful the company has been over the past few months with sales basically deciding unilaterally when deadlines should be without any push back from senior management. Two of the senior devs are inches away from quitting.

I'd prefer to stay at least a year for the initial pay rise (more leverage to negotiate with), which is up in August, but I'll take a great opportunity before then if it comes about.

I'm doing a tech test for a company here, it's very simple, about an hour of work. Assuming all goes well I'm planning on asking for a base salary bump to the equivalent of 40% higher than I'm on just now, although I won't be telling them a percentage. Should I ask for 50% instead? Is this too high, too low? I can't double my salary here unless I moved to London, then it would be possible. Or if I done contract work here or London

If you ask for 50 and they can only do 40 they'll tell you and you'll get 40. If you ask for 40 and they were going to give you 50 they'll just say "yeah sure 40". If you let them offer first then you don't have the opportunity to underbid yourself

Pollyanna posted:never expect a company to give you a pay raise, theyd rather pull their own teeth out with pliers They'll give you a raise it just probably won't match what you could get by jumping around. Especially if you're in a competitive market and they know you can do just that. On the other hand, if you're looking for a promotion, it might be easier to find it at your current job where they know the kind of work you do.

Sorry this breaks down a bit through external recruiters. They will 100% lowball you to the company and even if you refuse to give them a number they'll make up a low one for you. gently caress external recruiters. The principle is still sound though so we'll see. They'll have a number in mind before talking to the recruiter

Honestly for me, 2-3 months. It's unlikely you'll get a job in 4 weeks of applying.
