Emacs Headroom posted:it's a test, clearly field validation only allows integers, but maybe i can put this on one of the other fields like "age", "gender" or "nationality" i wish i was kidding this is a smorgasbord of things not to put on an application. i don't know what EU laws are though.

hey folks i did this interview and liked the company. they asked me to do a coding test, which i usually decline because github. but it seemed neat, however, it's pretty obvious this is a real need for them and it took quite a long time to do. they also said of the test "you'll be doing 99% of your job before you even get hired" by doing the test. i've of course installed a bunch of my own packages in the app so if they try steal the code without hiring me i'll take remote control of their servers lol. should i ask to get paid for this though?

Emacs Headroom posted:coding test _after_ the onsite is unusual. how long did it take you? is this a super small start up who's nervous about making a hire? there was no onsite, just a Skype interview. it took me probably 12 hours, but i'm gonna lie and say it took 6 to seem cool.

Emacs Headroom posted:i've reviewed a shitload of take-homes in my day, and if one I assigned was on the too-long side, I'd appreciate the candid feedback (and the fact that you went ahead and did it anyways) more than I would be impressed by a candidate lowballing their self-reported time estimate. if you can get poo poo done and be honest that's pretty valuable am I the only person getting actual work as "coding challenges"? 2 or 3 times they have been actually solving tickets of active projects.

qhat posted:The whole point of glassdoor is to identify the good companies from the cowboys, speaking of that, reviewing my last employer is almost impossible because these kinds of websites want to attribute it to companies with a similar name. so i have a very scathing review out there of a company i've never worked for.

qhat posted:No, the UBC campus is 870 ish a month I've heard. The stipend is literally just enough to keep you living, presuming you never drink, never eat out, never go anywhere but work and home, and eat cheap rear end vegetables every meal. that is completely hosed up, but i guess i shouldn't be surprised. a million people in Canada make even less than that working full time. maybe you can also take out a student? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The Management posted:every company that contacted me from there was a dudebro ceo ideas guy with no understanding of what it takes to do what he wants. and lol at taking shares in lieu of real money. i just filter it by 6 figgies and up, then there's no equity-only stuff. but yeah my career has been almost entirely dudebros paying me last year's bonus to make the next facebook.
