Current company was on a unicorn growth path with an engineering culture to be super jealous of. Three years later our valuation fell off a cliff, we've lost all the awesome engineers and engineering culture, and we recently got acquired by Generic Software Incorporated. Can't wait to get sold for parts. ![]() Now that my belief that good companies exist has vanished, I shall begin this new job search. Hello thread.

I must vent. I joined a company after taking a year to job search. I've been there 6 months. In that time, I've had 4 bosses. For the first two months I worked there, I did not add a single line of code to production because there was nothing to do. I decided to start bringing some order to the nonexistent engineering org, got 100% buy-in to start a decision making meeting (because, for example, we'd sit and talk about how to do PRs for hours without actually implementing anything) and learning hour (because the majority of engineers had <1 year experience or had never worked in a company with more than 1 engineer). New CTO came in, axed everything I'd worked on in the first month. He's since hired a bunch of people that got to bypass the interview process. They refer to themselves as "the clan" which I saw on a calendar invite one time and not a single member has been at the company for more than a month. That CTO also hired a guy who's got active assault charges against him, they're friends. I got voluntold I was joining "the clan" but turned it down because that's loving weird. Also, the raise would have been for $5k. The other guy who got voluntold to join the clan got a $15k raise. Also, I got demoted and lost my direct report after turning down the promotion. I learned this via an all hands org chart powerpoint slide. That is just a small part of the things that are hosed with engineering. Also, I haven't even touched on the rest of the company. End rant. Hello thread, it's nice to be here again.

jesus WEP posted:hello huhu, hope you read the thread title on your way in So Far, in terms of interview requests: - 7 from Linkedin's "I'm job searching" feature - 2 from hired.com - 4 from friends - 1 from 3 job applications Steve Jorbs posted:Lesson learned: I dunno. The pay bump would have netted me $560 over two months. The clan also meets like 4 times a week. Instead, I get less job responsibilities while maintaining my figgies. Also my company does part time and I've requested that because of "burnout" and I'll be hopefully getting 3/5th my salary, while road tripping, and getting 4 days off a week. bob dobbs is dead posted:set your location on linkedin to a major figgieland if youre not in one already, then the recruiter spam will be much more intense

Who the hell is trying to get a 6 month contract to hire job as a senior/lead engineer? Like as a intern/junior engineer I know you have no choice but as a lead software enginerer?

I now have a 5th boss. New boss is a mini-me of my previous boss. I talked them into me working 3 days a week for 3/5th my salary. I'm roadtripping now so I'll have lots more time for national parks and such. I also have 2 interviews this week and 1 next week.

Just got an offer that's between $40k and $80k a year better than my previous job depending on how the stock price does (last job was an awful startup and no benefits, now I have the same salary plus ESPP, sign on bonus, RSUs, and a ton of other benefits). Stock grew by over 100% last year so fingers crossed. Took a bunch of great interview questions from this thread, so that you all for the advice.

Decided to try out consulting. Just finished my first 6 months with a client and the last task was to basically delete everything I’ve done for the last 6 months because they never actually figured out what they wanted. Got two final round interviews next week. Also, my company will put me on the bench for the foreseeable future so I might get to collect two salaries for a month or two while working one job. Maybe that’ll make up for the fact that they told me I was getting a promotion and HR just needed to sign it, then hr went “lol no, make him wait.” This industry blows.
