Why the hell is it so hard to get SAML/ADFS to play nice with Salesforce? I can't test my assertion if your loving system isn't even accepting the POST you loving knobs! Argh!

In my experience almost no-one has any idea how SAML works, much less how to build a not-terribad implementation of it.

I’ve had a recruiter add poo poo to my CV which I then got questioned on at an interview. Had to slide my own copy of the CV across the table and compared the two with the interviewer.

I nearly didn't get my current job because the recruiter removed a bunch of relevant job skills so they could fit the recruiting company's letterhead up top before passing it on. Always bring copies of your resume with you and also gently caress recruiters.

I had a really awkward conversation with someone who wanted to hire a full-up suit and tie consultant. I hung up when he started yelling. Then I called my recruiter and did some of my own. If you're in recruiting and you've come to a place in your career where it's a choice between working for RH and sleeping under a bridge, go down and check out the bridge, the people there might be nice.

Super Slash posted:Interviewer: *Pulls out my CV, starts reading through it* ohhh yeah I had a place do a phone screen then pull me in for a 4 hour interview with 4 people, their posting was for a mid-level sys admin/network engineer with X, Y, Z technology, which fit me perfectly; what they really wanted was a senior level sys/net engineer with X, Y, Z, A, B, C, D technology. I was... mildly pissed off about halfway through the interview.

I've been in 2x 4 hour interviews at this point, one for the supposed mid level (aka senior/architect level) position and one for a technical IT manager; the second was ROUGH I met with 8 different people over that course of time, of course the most important people were last, the VP I would be reporting to and the senior sys admin that would have reported to me, sadly I was loving dead by that point and so probably blew my chance right then. Although the one you replied to was the first interview (after phone screen), whereas the IT manager position one was the second.

Place I'm working now had me in a 5-hour interview, a later 3-hour interview, and then a final meeting with the VP. All on three separate days. I actually turned them down the first time because I was getting a bad vibe, but a year later took a different position. Funnily enough, for the second round they were like "Hey, we already know you so no need for the giant slate of interviews again!"

The last two gigs Ive had had interviews easily this long. When the role deals directly with strategic thinkers instead of tactical implementers you as the hiring org need to know that the candidate has compatible mindset and philosophy. If the candidate is at odds with the philosophy and technical direction of the group, fractures will appear and projects will fail. Well, fail more than they already do. At this level you are looking for compatible personalities with enough independent ideas to add fresh insights to a team and this takes longer than 45 minutes.

Pissing me off: Shopify's multi-location "feature" Shopify has been promising support for multiple inventory fulfillment since last year. Eventually they said "oh okay we're doing it as of May 1 fix all your API stuff to use (endpoints) and we're turning off the old way of doing it". People flipped the gently caress out because documentation didn't exist saying what was actually changed. So it was pushed back to July 1. Then August 1. At that point there was still no documentation. Then after August 1 they started randomly turning on the multi location feature (with a quasi-deceptive email to customers asking them to "opt in"); if you make an API call using the "old" way it suddenly doesn't work. Yet, if you did it the "new" way half the time it also wouldn't work because meta info required for the multi-location feature doesn't exist on inventory from an old store. This means the only way the feature works right now consistently is if the store was created after August 1.

I'll have to add it to my regular maintenance, but the only way I can think of doing this logically is "make new keypair/selector, keep old keypair/selector for 3 months, delete on next creation".

I was in round I don't know...five, of the interview process with a major video game publisher I won't name here, at least until I start a new sentence. So I was interviewing for Riot Games and ended up doing a technical interview with someone who thought I had way more experience than I ever stated on a resume or in the previous interviews. I also legitimately didn't even know what position I was interviewing for at this point since I had gone from exec support to sysadmin somehow. They were nice enough to keep me in the game this way since I was a good culture (i.e I play video games), but there really needed to be a job description and you know, my resume, changing hands here. Guy was pretty annoyed with me when I got on the call and wasn't prepared to answer his questions, which also seemed to assume I knew how their network, business, and server farm was structured. He came off as your stereotypical arrogant tech-bro. They're obsessed with culture fit. How about this for a culture fit? Stop cursing in interviews. I curse all the loving time, but even I can cool it for an hour. I'm wasn't surprised at all women and POC have huge problems at that place.

nielsm posted:You can't post that number and not make me think of the old Windows bug, where the GetTickCount value overflows. Versions of Windows NT 4 and 95/98 had that bug, after 49.7 days the milliseconds-since-boot counter has a 32 bit integer overflow, and then the entire system hangs. I remember hearing about this back in the day but found it incredibly funny. Perhaps it was all my youthful indiscretions but who the hell could coax more than 3-5 days out of Win9x?

My favorite RH story is them asking for your responsibilities and salary history so they “can better match you with opportunities”, then turning around and calling your company’s hiring manager offering to fill your position for less money. This may or may not be true, I’ve only heard this anecdotally. But based on my experience with their recruiters from a “hey we got the perfect guy for you” in which said person is woefully under qualified for the position, it sounds extremely plausible.

Oh, it very much is true - I was warned about it by my best friend's brother, who is CTO for a tech company in Ohio. Their RH rep called him about one of his employees looking for another position and wouldn't you know it - they could scrounge someone up for half the cost of the soon-to-depart employee. My friend's brother is a stand-up guy and this sort of bullshit really pisses him off. He immediately told the RH recruiter his underhanded practice just backfired spectacularly, and after he hung up the phone he had the employee come to his office. They talked, he gave him a $10,000 raise, and life was good. The guy was a critical member of the core team, and the $10,000 was a pittance compared to how much money it would have cost to replace his knowledge and expertise.

Of course, despite him being a critical member, they never thought they should offer him a competitive salary until he was trying to leave, because that is how we do things in the industry: hire somewhat at the lowest you can get away with and give raises that are barely over inflation until the person has to go somewhere else, or threaten to, before you will offer them an increase to put them back at market rate. Or in many places don't bother, have them leave, then spend all the money training someone else in the position, losing all his knowledge, and repeat the cycle.

It's really common to just not hear back or get a bullshit excuse. You'll find something, just keep trying. Some places also run ads while not directly hiring because they are either always looking for really good people and will make a position for them, or are scummy and are looking to see if someone else will be better than a current person and find an excuse to fire the current employee. It's best to avoid places that aren't honest if you can, it's pretty much impossible since every place is going to lie about something but if you can spot the lies before entering it's usually worse once inside.
