A level of performance / ability where you can interview, get a job and the salary you deem indicative of your skill. This varies from person to person obviously.
For instance, for a while I had a CS degree and was solidly above average, but I didn't quite meet the bar because I sucked at leetcode and didn't have enough experience. So I accepted this, improved, and now have a higher paying job.
- giantg2 4y agoI'm not talking about interviews. I'm talking about performance evaluation at the company. The issues are with moving goal posts, discrinatory practices, and office politics.
- 71a54xd 4y agoThe only place without moving goal-posts and / or younger incoming / better skilled talent is a government job. If you don't want to have to care about improving / competing work as a paralegal, in retail or for the government. Yes, it sucks but it's a reality of working in an industry as well paid as software engineering. I'm convinced that sitting on your laurels even if you're well above average for say 4-5 years and not actively improving / being cognizant of others around you and their skillsets will always result in poor career outcomes.
