- walshemj 9y agoThis is America with much less social safety net than most eu countries.
- ben509 9y agoThe pay is good at a top tier tech job.
- jstanier 9y agoMy thoughts exactly.
- tdeck 9y agoI don't understand why you can't just get a new job before quitting the old one. That's what everyone does.
- lovich 9y agoThe current style of tech interviews makes it very difficult. A lot of places have a long interview that you end up burning a whole day on it and you only have so many vacation and sick days
- ryandrake 9y agoYep. Say you have ten days of vacation per year (welcome to the USA!) This means you can “get serious” with max 10 companies per year. I’ve in the past interviewed with that many companies in only a month! You need to be very creative with your time to do serious interviewing while still working.
- tdeck 9y agoI agree it's a pain, but I work in the industry and most people I have known don't quit without another job lined up. Facebook gives 21 vacation days; Google (relatively stingy) gives 15 or more. Plus you can call in sick (I don't recommend this but if you're out the door anyway it's an option). I just don't think it's good practical advice to follow the procedure in this article.
