Mantle posted:I can't find his thread, but these are some changes in the style of resume goon guy Parahexasomething? I recommend working with him to polish it off but this is the kind of thing he is good at. hmm, this makes me concerned i'm not communicating some things clearly since these suggestions aren't quite true to what i've done. i'm a bit concerned if i'm that terse, i'll come across as having done more than i can back up in an interview. i'll check him out. i get some resume reviewing through a part of my severance, so i'll send my current draft through that, compare all this, and then hit him up. the edited resumes are getting mixed reviews from teammates getting theirs back, but one of the complaints was "they abridged too much of my roles 10 years ago" so maybe it could be decent thanks everyone, this is a huge help, i went from staring at a blank page for days to a draft i'm pretty confident in in just a few hours

yeah echoing Never say you Helped or Assisted with something. you just did it. when it gets asked about during your interview then you get to talk about teamwork

The Fool posted:while good advice, you also need to make sure you are capable of talking about the thing when asked about it in the interview oh for sure, i just initially was entirely truthful and put assisted any time i didn't do everything myself. the current draft i got rid of all uses of those except for the final mention of client support as a new hire because i didn't ever do more than help someone else with cases and it hopefully shows progression into my next promo where i did do them on my own, then the promo after that where i was effectively support lead

part of the problem i have is that when i ask myself "why do i want this job?" the answer is "i don't", and similarly when asking myself "why should they hire me?" i think "they should not" i don't know how to get over this and it's seriously affecting my writing abilities. i was using modified LLM output for a lot of cover letters and whatnot but i feel like not hitting upon any success might be proving that to be a bad idea

during my last search, i came upon two companies that required you to take an AWS and Azure questionnaire of 40+ prior to even getting a first interview and i caught myself thinking, "are you sure you're not just farming answers for your existing staff?"

ok next question: outgoing total comp for me was 150k (all salary, no bonus or rsus although i did get some late last year to the tune of 15k vesting per year which i won't see a dime of) for 8 years experience at a senior-equivalent band level. trying to figure out a guess as to what my outlook might be in this market, assuming i don't end up in california, seattle, or new york. not really sure levels.fyi is going to give an accurate picture given i'm looking in a recession

if you explicitly say "the tool that tells me the expected salary may not be trusted", it's gonna be hard. this means you have to get offers and compare them. as always, compare to your batna, not levels.fyi or this thread or anything else. if you think your first job lowballed you and you can't negotiate the offer up, keep looking and bounce to one that doesn't lowball you. you don't have to put it on your resume if you dont want

there's an apply link for a backend engineer for 'high touch', whatever that is. comp is 170-220. carry on then, you must apply to that job before the end of the day. that is your task. i do not want to hear why it's no use, or why you won't get the job, or why you aren't qualified, or anything else like that. submit your resume and, if there's a spot for it, a cover letter by sundown. if you do not do it, there will be severe consequences* * i will be annoyed at you and probably give you poo poo about it

there's not lining up perfectly, and then there's a venn diagram that's just two circles. i am literally staring at the application page now. it is asking me "Why do you think you're a great fit for this role?" i'm not a good fit for this role!!! it's a senior role at a fast-paced startup--concrete contributions are expected day 1, but i would need a year to learn all these concepts and languages and environments. and this isn't just me saying oh they'll for sure ignore me. what does it say about them if they actually hire me, given go and database expertise isn't exactly hard to come by?
