If by some miracle I got a counter offer that was the same or higher than an offer from outside, I would take it and then probably move team internally

i applied to two separate but similar positions at different locations for a large company. i've been moving along the process with the more desirable of the two but a separate HR person contacted me about the other. i think im just going to start the process again with the other position and i figure they will eventually notice i applied for more than one position. maybe its bad form to apply for multiple openings but i'm going to apply when i see something that looks good instead of wading through the list of poo poo on a job listing page and making sure its the best

It's perfectly acceptable to apply for multiple positions at the same company. The recruiter will see them and pick the one you're more likely to succeed at interview based on discussions with the hiring managers.

the internal recruiter for the company i'm talking to says they applied me to multiple positions for them internally so i don't imagine it's that big a deal

Rex-Goliath posted:i had this exact same hangup over my last job. it's not worth it Yeah I did it with a company I trusted and it worked out in the end. I wanted to leave Mexico and got a couple of job offers in Germany, but my company counter offered with a position in Seattle if we could land this one client. I stuck by for another year, during which time I flew to Saudi Arabia and installed our software and got it accepted by the customer. On the day I was leaving back to Mexico the client said they had to put a hold on our project and we were all like WTF. Turns out some VP was embezzling money and submitting giant POs from our company and others and then pocketed the difference. All of the projects under his care were effectively poo poo canned,  that guy.After that fiasco I started job searching again and got an offer from Amazon and ended up in Seattle anyway lol. After a year at Amazon I wasn't happy and my old boss offered me that position again but I had them match my Amazon salary

amazon usually pisses me off somewhere in the interview process that feels more like trying to test out of intro to algorithms than job interview

Shaman Linavi posted:i think amazon did at one time, and i remember the online coding thing i did for them had a bunch of poo poo i had to agree to you should have seen the internal e-mail thread that blew up when people found out recruiting had started that spyware coding app thing. that initiative was shut down very quickly i get the appeal from a recruiting perspective (a way to effectively screen candidates without trying to constantly wrangle SDEs to do phone screens!) but you just explode trust by forcing spyware on people. almost better to let the cheaters through anyways and have them get filtered at a phone screen Steve Jorbs posted:Lol @ having a family and working at Amazon. Pick one. I know teams/projects where it is pretty darn hard to balance work/family, but in my org (fairly large AWS service) there's quite a few people who have families of various sizes and shapes and they seem pretty content. ymmv

the fact that cheating is an effective method of getting an interview at amazon shows how utterly worthless 1hour online tests or whatever are at screening out candidates. spend half an hour talking to them on the phone and you'll screen out 90% of the idiots, as opposed to like 20% from an online exam.

too bad you rarely meet your coworkers / other managers during interviewing. My current place (which i am leaving 1st of may  ) has a manager who's described by my colleagues as a "roadblock to getting anything done"

senior engineer at work basically told me to start looking for new jobs because our upper management blows rear end today like, I have been for a couple months now, but I'd really prefer a remote job but every remote job wants you to have already had a remote job. and all the local jobs are lovely defense contractors anyone hiring a remote (USA) person who can write good java, acceptable javascript*, a bunch of functional languages nobody uses especially rust and elixir, with interests in distributed systems and security? seriously yesterday I read papers on paxos for fun, I think I'm broken *: for javascript levels of "acceptable" Arcsech fucked around with this message at 03:49 on Apr 11, 2018 |

i got rejected for company B (their feedback was that i didnt give enough specific examples insome of the "culture" behavioural questions) which is pretty disheartening, they should have just asked me to give more detail rather than smiling and looking pleased with my answers interviews with company A i felt went well, will hear back from them tomorrow hopefully
