Appearing busy and productive while farting around most of the day is the most important skill Also getting a day's worth of work done in an hour or two, because you're actually turbo-productive when you need to

12 problems in 1 hour is fine, I regularly fix 96 bugs a day at work.

qhat posted:I've learned that no matter how much even the hiring manager insists that it's okay, you're always going to get a whiny baby in the on-site interview who will disregard everything else in your experience so they can nitpick on programming language. It's easiest to just assume the recruiter and the interviewer have not talked or exchanged information about you at all, so nothing you've said or been told prior to the interview matters.

You're probably capable of doing whatever they want you to do but generalists are not sexy now or ever so you're better off just making something up

TheFluff posted:This is how it generally works in some countries with legally mandated job security (that is, if you're a full time permanent employee, as long as you show up to work and at least try to do your job, it's borderline impossible to fire you - you can get laid off if the company is downsizing, though). For the first six months as a full time employee, the contract is close to how it works in the US - two weeks notice from the employer, no formal notice legally needed from the employee. After those six months though the company needs to decide if they want to get rid of you, and if they don't, the contract automatically converts from a probationary one to a permanent one. My country has this and it mostly works as it's supposed to. 4-6 months trial period, during which you have the same benefits as permanent employees but either side can terminate the contract for pretty much any reason with minimal notice. If you can't figure out whether someone's good in 6 months, maybe it's you that's bad. e: of course software companies here still do grueling months-long recruitment processes, because it's trendy or some poo poo Double Bill fucked around with this message at 12:31 on Jul 9, 2018 |

Are JavaScript developers commonly working for next to nothing, or is there oversupply of them now? Contacted by a  company for full stack JS (not my favorite thing), comfortably passed the interviews and they completely lowballed the offer. Like so low its not even worth negotiating about. Serves me right for even considering doing JS, I suppose.

toiletbrush posted:Is it bad form/does it make you look like a pussy if you get sent roles for Lead but say you really just want to be a regular dev? Depends on whether Lead means anything more than "something to promote seniors to" in that company. I've been in a team that had 3 Lead devs, who were just experienced regular devs with no additional responsibilities whatsoever (the dream).

TheFluff posted:anyone who wants you to write more than 100 lines of code or spend more than two hours can gently caress right off, they're just jerking off to their own cleverness and are discriminating against people with families or other commitments. I recently did one that ended up being ~700 lines (REST API + SQL DB & ORM + integration with an external API + unit and integration tests). I ended up doing it because the tech stack was sane and I really wanted the job, but it was about two evenings worth of work. Incidentally I just gave notice today and feeling pretty loving good about it.
