cause I like sharing salaries: I make 130k with a 12.5% max bonus(although it’s gonna be like 8% this year because larger Corp didn’t do well, and I’ve only been here 6 months so it’ll be prorated.) I live in Baltimore so my CoL is _very_ low.

Coffee Jones posted:no yeah that is an issue. comedy option: they could have decent technical staff that does cool things, with some rough edges, that is being outsourced to a SaaS firm for bullshit internal politics because they aren’t a tech company at the core. and the SaaS offering is hot garbage with downtime’s for every deploy and loving up a move between data centers with a day worth of downtime. god what a loving mess this place is turning into. now I get to Pollyanna and job hop quickly. freeasinbeer fucked around with this message at 14:22 on Feb 17, 2018 |

Pollyanna posted:im considering learning SRE work which is apparently a bunch of linux work and containers n poo poo, but i always learn on the job so you need a job to get good enough for a job and aaaaaaaaaaaa SRE stuff isn’t a mystery. it’s what I do, reach out if you want some things to read or tech to play with. basically read the Phoenix project and play with kubernetes.

ugh. starting a new job search because of changes coming down the pike that present a less then compelling future if I stick around. turns out a team at my corporation is hiring and would be a perfect fit, but I can’t move because of internal issues that would arise.

Pollyanna posted:I hosed up lol Maybe you should go into devops? I didn’t know dev pay was that low. I make 10k more in a lower CoL east coast city and have anecdotally heard that the common Boston salary for SREs/Devops was 140k+.

we’ve also gone over this several times, not all startups have lovely work life balance. I took 4 weeks off and wfh whenever I wanted at my last one. One of my coworkers spent 5-6 weeks working remote in Europe. Another did yearly visits to Singapore for a month to visit family. and as far as day to day I’d cut out at 3 on fridays. It really depends on the place. Now did I do some stupid midnight work on Saturdays, yeah, but I sure as hell took comp time the week after.

Sapozhnik posted:I mean, again, Java itself isn't so much as inherently good as populated by grownups who have some actual sense of responsibility. Google Guava notwithstanding (it's good but it does make the odd breaking change here and there so you do have to keep up with it). Otherwise, Maven doesn't support more than one version of any given transitive dependency in any given project and in practice this is virtually never a problem which speaks to the maturity of the people in the Java ecosystem. except when it comes to running Java. Give me all the ram and then allocate all the ram is the laziest goddamn pattern that all java devs inherently do. They never go back to tune their poo poo. individually Java and the jvm are decent but goddamn are devs so lazy when it comes to running things.

Progressive JPEG posted:docker is fine for prototyping I mean you can maybe get away with that attitude at places, but for example if a place is using kubernetes they are using docker in production. And if your response is don’t use something like kubernetes then I’m sure those windows shops are hiring. Just like devs, Ops folks are using new tech and deploying stuff all the time in new formats. if you don’t like that the people who aren’t messing with new stuff are the happy windows admins who will make your life pain.

qhat posted:I had to explain to a coworker why basing his container on a rolling release of alpine is a terrible loving idea. He ignores the advice and 3 months later I'm having to rebuild all his loving containers because guess what, all the packages changed and none of the derived containers build anymore. I mean that’s stupid as poo poo. What base image is he even using? If you aren’t using the base docker image library for openjdk or whatever you are probably doing it wrong.

Blinkz0rz posted:that's why i hate the kubernetes quick start and kops because it turns something really complicated and hard into "easy mode if you only do things the way we do them disregarding your network topography/existing deployments/infrastructure." like you said it's rails for container orchestration Don’t disagree that this is major issue with k8s, the devs basically code to a pretty far departure of what traditional sysadmins are comfortable with. But to me fighting it to fit your legacy network design is a fools errand. I’ve also gotten in some pretty nasty fights with this in the grey forums, but I tend to agree with the vision that k8s has set forth for designs and think that maybe legacy design patterns need a shake up. FWIW I brought it up to refute the FUD that docker isn’t used in production(it has warts but there not that bad) and to shed light on the fact that operations folks are trying new things all the time as well, to try and make their lives easier. Docker is one of them.

shoe chat: I wear some variation on whatever my companies flagship sneaker is, because the shoe game at work is real, and you have to keep up with upper management. salary chat: I made 141k according to IRS last year, should go up to slightly over 150k this year if my bonus is any good. I also have a 20k retention bonus that hits 1/1/20. So while I think I am way underpaid, the next 13 months are semi lucrative(bonuses get paid in March). I’m 30 and considered an SRE. brexit chat: lololol

Recruiter asked me to throw out a number so I asked for a $120k raise. Seemed taken aback, but I got told the max base for that payband, which is 90k raise. Edit: although that includes a move to a higher CoL(not SF though) freeasinbeer fucked around with this message at 17:11 on Jun 29, 2019 |
