off topic: how did you negotiate 4x10 work schedule?
- gbruins 4y agoProbably a confluence of many things, but the list is: * Ive been at the company for over 15 years * The local job market (Bay Area) is (was?) quite hot, and the company is not a sexy silicon valley destination that attracts talent. * The company could not match the FAANG companies, and some folks had already jumped ship * The raise from my annual view was less than desired. When it was clear that more salary was not an option, a got creative and asked for an equally valuable asset... my own time. * Top it off, my boss is fantastic
- toomuchtodo 4y agoUnicorn role. Absolutely don’t leave, generate more income elsewhere.
- gbruins 4y agoI have a hunch you're right. BTW, I didn't come here to do this, but the company is great, quite large, and has lots of open roles world wide. Also open to fully remote software engineers. I won't share the company unless someone asks though.
- quickthrower2 4y agojust ask. i am doing 3x6.5
- mdcds 4y agowhat kind of company are you at? BigTech, non-tech BigCo, mid-sized non-tech? I cannot see how a manager/director at a BigCo would be able approve something like this since everything is standardized (like base pay at each level)
