my job is terrible. i'm the only data scientist in an organisation of 2000, looking for new opportunities like this shining beacon on a hill:Process Specialist with Agile Mindset posted:Oh, and the deadline is in five weeks. company makes dental prosthetics during another unrelated opportunity a company asked "would you do this technical thing? it probably likely won't take a week". lo and behold it would have taken a week edit: thanks to The Leck for finding The Questions: quote:- who do you work with on a daily basis / describe the day to day role When interviewing: "[redacted posted:"] When interviewing with startups: tl;dr version: quote:1) How much money does the company have in the bank? quote:When you're leaving a big company to interview at a startup, there are some hidden questions you might not know to ask. Courtesy of The Leck and this duder on twitter: https://twitter.com/jensenharris Here's an amazing effortpost about interviewing for white collar jobs: PIZZA.BAT posted:alright gonna effortpost how the white collar interview process more or less works. i'll edit this post with it just a sec More Really Good Advice that you should follow: reversefungi posted:I have a continuously growing list of questions in a Google doc. Whenever I run into something that's either "That's awesome, how do I make sure I find this again in the future" or "this is absolute garbage I never want to encounter this in a job again", it goes in the list. An obvious one that has saved me some grief is "Can I get a short product demo at some point during the interview process, to have a better understanding of what I'd be working on?" If they show you a janky pos app, makes it very easy to turn down and move on champagne posting fucked around with this message at 11:37 on Jun 25, 2022 |

carry on then posted:first, i'm talking about internship interviews, so if you aren't let's just drop this talking past each other fest having a ton of poo poo to show off on github is a million times more impressive than an A+ in algorithm design from university. the order is view applications is likely resume -> github -> cover letter -> anything else -> grades another problem with grades is you have to know the context with which they are given, what they mean at a given institution and the quality of said institution which unless you’ve been there or have firsthand experience is really difficult to gage.

Star War Sex Parrot posted:my Apple phone screen last night seemed to go pretty well, but they repeatedly asked if I had anything more recent I could publish on my GitHub. unfortunately all of my recent projects are class assignments (that they reuse) and they turbofuck you if you post them on public repos. after this semester I'll have a few independent mini-research projects that I can publish, but it's a bit of a bummer in the meantime. how can they gently caress you for posting stuff on github? assuming you’re not a student of course
