agreed slack is a real company but pre-ipo equity is a lottery ticket. if the job looks good id say go for it, worst case is they crash and burn in 2-4 years and you have a hella sweet looking resume entry

Gazpacho posted:post interview report: i tend to think it's a bad sign when more than one work area has a small table topped with liquor bottles. also when an interviewer says "our hundreds of developers just decide for themselves what to build, except when the founder-CEO personally requests something" bad sign of what, getting paid to drink while loving around with a compiler? sounds like a pretty god deal to me. as long as the office is close to a bus stop or something

big tech loving top school graduates has griped my rear end for like 10 years now. "when the prof crowed about the graduating class's improvement on the exit assessment, i did the math, saw that the improvement was me, and understood why i had not felt challenged by the program" is not something i can put on my resume

Symbolic Butt posted:also I'm not sure how someone can work with programming for a while and not grow completely insensitive to the "*gasp* you don't know about X???" reactions from fellow programmers sounds to me like you work with a bunch of shitheads tbh. super disrespectful to do poo poo that like with a colleague. like even if its something super basic like "whats an interface" and the guy was hired as a java dev, it's still not cool. its on the company for fuckin up so bad in hiring that they made an offer to such a completely unfit candidate. and if they somehow managed to bullshit so good that everyone believed their poo poo and it's a total surprise that Java Master Jedi Joe doesn't know what an interface is...move him to sales

rewrote my resume recently and went from ~10% response rate to ~60%. all that changed was the wording and how heavily i highlighted the cool stuff. it matters, a lot i had to read your resume three times to start to understand it. i would not try so hard if i was working if you hold TS/SCI then i dont see any reason not to put that on every resume you send cause it sounds impressive. aiui airgap is standard in that kind of work so doesn't need to be called out--employers who care will expect you to know whats up write about cool stuff imo. doesn't matter if it was two weeks five years ago. you're badass, make sure the resume shows that you're badass

Rex-Goliath posted:iirc our universal index is light years ahead of postgres and our system is built from the ground up to be horizontally scalable so you can expand out to indexing and searching petabytes of data in milliseconds with very little effort. i don’t want to derail two threads at the same time though so i guess i’ll finally make the nosql thread in CoC. i’m surprised no ones done this yet so i guess it may as well be me universal index sounds like a marketing term for something kinda interesting
