knox_harrington posted:"HR hiring manager" is a weird phrase unless this is a HR job. in general the HR interviews I've had have been very basic and just asking general things about my CV, how you work in teams, general culture/"fit" stuff. could be a matrix organization. at my last university gig, i had one manager who did just hr-like poo poo, and other managers for the projects i worked on.

you can also refuse to even talk to anyone who doesn't post a realistic salary range and tell the recruiters as much

yeah, i was talking to my boss (formerly a high up at apple) recently and i'm pretty sure there's no way i'd survive a week at a faang

i don't hesitate to criticize anyone and everyone from the ceo down, and i believe healthy organizations effect change from the bottom up in addition to from the top down. faangs are very much top down.

Mantle posted:I remember reading a story about a woman being personally recruited by gaben to run some sort of VR (?) thing and after she joined, she was ignored/isolated by him (?) and got fired. Can't seem to find it online now. jeri ellsworth https://www.wired.com/2013/07/wireduk-valve-jeri-ellsworth/ the problem with valve is that you either have to be willing to work on projects run by other folks, or you have to be able to convince folks to work on your project if you join with the intent of leading a project, you have to sell that project to the other engineers or it dies.

i interviewed at valve for a network gig many years ago and it was so loving weird some softball stuff generic stuff like "design an elevator", but some of the interviewers really seemed like they didn't understand the topic they were interviewing for. in particular i remember one troubleshooting question where they were reading from a script about "a user in germany is intermittently unable to do %s" how do you troubleshoot it? every troubleshooting step i responded with involving logs, tracing, or error rates was met with "uhhh, the problem document doesn't specify" lunch at el gaucho was fun tho

don't forget the early exercise option. ask if you can early exercise on day 1, then file an 83b and pay taxes on the diff between strike and fmv (probably $0). bonus points if the company still a qsbs and you can start your five year timer right away in some wild situations, the company might even offer you a loan to exercise your options that is secured by this stock, so if the company goes tits up, you don't lose a penny.

rotor posted:Ive been employee … 16? something like that. I got 0.5% which was i think closer to normal for that time (~10 yrs ago) i got 0.3 as employee ~20 about a decade ago, and 0.7 more recently as either the first or second (hr and i started the same day) full time employee outside the founders. i might have pushed for more than 0.7, but they brought me on at 170 cash with a bump past 200 within a couple months, so i didn't push for more equity. maybe before our next round i'll ask for a little more. they also gave me a loan secured by my stock, allowing me a no-risk tax-free early exercise, so that was nice.

Corla Plankun posted:being forgotten by, and not having to worry about, my coworkers anymore is the main advantage of leaving a job; and now I have to actively maintain a rolodex of trustworthy bosses because it is not enough to please hiring managers now, I must also have--verifiably!--behaved in a way that they liked before I ever met them none of this is new. references have been a thing forever. poo poo, it used to be expected that you provide references on your resume. the only thing that has 'changed' here is that you got away with not having references when you were inexperienced. now that you've been around the block, references should be available. if you're burning all your references, that's on you

back before i had established a decent set of references, i tried to have a classmate fill in as one instead of saying good things about group projects and such, they basically said "yeah, i sorta know him". hiring manager loved my other reference, gave me the job, and told me to never use that reference again somehow 20 years later, bad reference dude is still one of my best friends
