My job is similar to that, where best practices and safe choices are thrown out the door in favor of speed and corner cuts. It's bad.

that seems like a reasonable question if you claim to have database experience on your resume

you can always create separate sections like "experienced with" and "familiar with" or something if your resume is sparse otherwise

you can always keep looking for a different job if you take it. the difference is that you'll have a paycheck and be able to prove that you are currently employable. do you have any interviews lined up for this larger, more hypothetical company? i don't know your exact situation but if you've been searching for a while with no luck, you'll have better luck searching while employed.

you asked for a big jump over their offer with the leverage of being unemployed with no other offers, what did you expect their reply to be? if you still want to play ball you could try to figure out if you can negotiate within the salary band they have for the role but you're probably out of luck. if the initial offer really is too low, set an honest salary floor for yourself that you would be ok with and ask for it. if it's really fine and you just wanted to squeeze more out, well you don't have a lot of squeezing power as someone out of work. also, how old are you?

Pollyanna posted:hey, im following my due diligence here as bsd said, it couldnt hurt to try. and i get that i dont have a lot of leverage. i understand where i am now i didn't say it was a bad idea to try, and i think its good that you asked for more money. but their reply was pretty predictable as well with the amount more you asked for. lots of companies would balk at someone asking for 30% more without any leverage Pollyanna posted:
i think acceptable in terms of living isn't properly valuing yourself if you are any good at your job. most software jobs pay a good living, doesn't mean you can't get more than that. give yourself a real, honest, realistic valuation for your time and effort Pollyanna posted:27, why? just curious

Pollyanna posted:to be honest i did kind of expect them to balk, but for them to name a number more around 100k~105k instead of just "no" so you wanted 10-15k more than the offer so you asked for 30k more than the offer? i think you aimed too high, i would have asked for 105-110 or so or even just 105. save the higher requests for if you're forced to give the number first. if you got them to give it up you usually have a pretty good idea of their salary range for the role already. if it's wildly off base the job probably wasn't meant to be. quote:bolded the sticking point, as was mentioned i have relatively little experience so i am not confident i am what they need, but they seem to think i am. experience and being good at your job are not necessarily the same thing. it's possible to be "good" at being a jr. developer and be more valuable than a "bad" jr. developer even though you may have the same number of years of experience. if people like working with you and you get your work done on time and with decent quality, you are good at your job. if you don't, perhaps you can improve and ask for more money. quote:i'd actually love some feedback on this because i feel very far behind others of my age/level of experience there are plenty of people your age and experience doing worse than you too, don't derive your sense of satisfaction from your assumed peers. are you doing better than you were than in the past? great, keep it up. qhat posted:If you have little to no experience, the answer is no, not even in the bay area. dunno about deserve but im pretty sure you can get 90k in the bay as an intern even

i aggressively paid off my loans as soon as i got the chance because they were crushing me when i was broke. perhaps i could have invested the money and done a little better in the long run but i don't regret just getting it over with at all.

you'd rather drive longer than take faster, literally free transit? are there any actual benefits to driving?

yeah you only have to think about it the first few times, then it's autopilot commute like driving. do you not use public transit around town ever? my prediction is "no" but give it a go, it's easy

im getting a lot better at interviewing by giving them. turns out the person interviewing you does not give a single poo poo at all about it, so don't sweat it e: Pollyanna posted:i wonder if its possible to be the opposite of the usual "terrible at interviewing, good at actually working" thing yes, how do you think all your terrible coworkers in the past got jobs

Someone who has too much pride to never admit they don't know something is someone I absolutely do not want on my team yeah this. i ask a good number of questions about things that aren't really hard to learn but get used often to gauge familiarity. I want someone who will admit their shortcomings and be honest about their work, not someone who just says the most agreeable thing and stumbles through everything
