Many of these are pretty reasonable. Dunno that travel is that bad a problem...
- pwnstigator 17y agoWhy would a developer be traveling frequently? Also, business travel sucks, especially if you're entry-level.
- ednapiranha 17y agoThat's what people hired into Accenture do. "Travel" and live out of hotels for most of the year, while they try to cobble together a really bad project and try to avoid losing their minds.
- gaius 17y agoIf your product is a "platform" then you may often be visiting customers to work directly with their developers. I agree on the travel. It can sound exciting from the outside, but airports, taxis, hotels and meeting rooms look the same whatever city or country you're in. Eating room service 5 nights a week gets old real quick.
- joshu 17y agoYeah, I guess so. At one point I lived in NYC and worked in London. And loved it. Hell of a commute, though.
- gaius 17y agoAs an interviewer, I always ask about version control. Doesn't matter which one the candidate has used, but if they can't talk fluently about it, that's a red flag. It's a proxy question for what I really care about, which is, has worked on a large complex system in collaboration with others.
