I've been ghosted by at least 3 recuiters so far, on the first reply
as if these jobs got filled seconds after the linkedin messages is sent

i don't use mongo but it has "multi-document ACID transactions" now so i don't think that true anymore, unless it loses data for other reasons

I worked on a small EMR that was backed by a local doctor and only used at a few clinics, it was written in Delphi 5 in at least 2010

Well I've been holding off posting on the off chance somebody at works reads my posts (not likely) and waiting for my background check to clear (it just did!).

After 9 years at my current job, I got a new job !
I was always underpaid at my job, this new job is a massive raise, over 50%. By all measures I'm above market rate now.

I'm going to call my manager now and ruin new years for him. I'll make a longer post later.

Receptive up to around 10%, unless it's a big role and the counter-offer is a main competitor, then it can be anything.

i've been worrying that I could have got an extra 10% since I didn't counter offer, but I also confidently said I would need a a very compelling offer because my job is very cushy (didn't know I meant workload not pay), but I was just ecstatic to break six figgies and they said it was above market and not to tell any one (obviously). I also asked for a 10% signing bonus and got it.

I see 3 salaries for my title at the same office on glassdoor, the first was 30k more than me (which seemed insanely high), the 2nd was the same and 3rd was 10k less.

i am happy with it, it’s a 60% bump from the last job, I would be happy with the same pay just to get away from my current job

On a related note my new job has the perk of free door dash delivery but its not available in my lovely small town.

at my last job my coworker turned manager has been a sysadmin for 10 YEARS and still cannot stand up a vsphere cluster , configure a router or write a script
so I did absolutely everything and it pissed me off so much he was getting paid to do nothing, even though he was a nice guy

the last 2 weeks before I left all I did was recorded zoom meeting all day everyday explaining how to do the basics of the job
