applied for a position with a company that looked cool a few weeks ago, with whom I also had an inside referral. I had my first technical interview today and it went better than i expected it to go. i havent had an interview in a while, so i had been looking at sample sysadmin interview questions on github/reddit, and thank christ none of my questions were anything like the random fact recitations i mostly saw on there. will probably have two-three more interviews (it sounds like they will be with managers though and perhaps less technical, which felt a little surprising to me) and not getting ahead of myself just yet, but i kind of wish i started applying around sooner. post hole digger fucked around with this message at 22:05 on Oct 3, 2018 |

what is common etiquette for sending an email after an interview as a thank you? Is that considered old fashioned or too pestery now?

my company's not great, but we have an unlimited policy and, although I'd prefer a non-unlimited policy, i dont think ive ever personally had a request denied. I do think it encourages people to take less time off though (I dont have that problem)

I thought it was an interesting question when I saw it in the op and it seemed appropriate at the time. probably won't use it again though haha

my job pays well but not very well, i dont have to work that hard, and i live 10 minutes from my office. but i want to live somewhere that isnt a shoebox apartment and i really want to leave the bay area. how do i get over being extremely picky about jobs im willing to consider. :itisamystery:

i feel like i might be too picky though. is it wrong, when a recruiter contacts you, to open with "whats the pay"? i've been with my current company for 5 years and before that i was working a cavalcade of menial prole jobs so i still have the mindset of not knowing how to dictate the terms of what i want or having the upper hand in looking for a job.

qhat posted:Never talk numbers until you are getting an offer, this goes both ways. 95% of the time they'll brush it off with "we're flexible, we're interested in finding the right person and then discussing a fair compensation", which is basically what you should be doing in reverse if they ask you about money that early. Demanding compensation talk at the start can shut the conversation down right there, and you can probably find out the bottom end of the range from glassdoor anyway. Rex-Goliath posted:don't talk numbers until you're either sure you want to walk and want to give them one last chance to regain your attention or are pretty sure you have them hooked. the longer you talk the more invested they are and more they'll want you on board which means they'll wiggle those numbers up behind the scenes. the earlier you talk numbers the higher the chance they'll err on the side of caution and give you the lower end of things because why wouldn't they? i guess i get that but, why would i go through the interview process if it doesnt pay more than my current job. like "glass door estimates" make it seem like these offers are for about where i'm at now. is it expected that i should be able to pump those numbers higher? post hole digger fucked around with this message at 02:33 on Jun 20, 2019 |

Thinking about quitting my job this year and taking a break. Got a nice little nut tucked away and don't have rent/mortgage right now. A little worried about getting back into the job market if I do take a few months off though. Some people make it feel like career suicide to do this and no one will want to hire you with a gap in your resume/if you're already not working. Would I be loving up my career if I do this

qirex posted:I took almost a full year off and literally told people “I decided I wanted a break to work on personal projects” but that was coming out of an 8 year tenure at one company so that might have helped. just own it imo, I wouldn’t want to work somewhere that cared about poo poo like that. this is almost my exact situation, i've been here for like 8 years and i'm just running low. recruiters already look at me like im a psycho for having been at one job for so long in the bay area. thanks for giving me the advice i wanted to hear haha

for a couple of years, my family lived like 500 yards from 1 infinity loop and used to walk my dog around their campus just cause i thought it was cool. i cant imagine youd be able to do that now, but the 2021 version of my family also couldnt afford to live anywhere in cupertino anyways so

getting ready for an interview im conducting this afternoon and tried to pull up the person's linkedin because resume the recruiter sent me was formatted weirdly. googling their name returned several news articles about a DUI hit and run arrest earlier this year

yeah that one and the 'what's the most impressive thing you've seen out of someone else you've interviewed recently' question from the op always struck me as odd.
