May I ask how you tell them in interviews that you don't want to give them your previous salary? I've been trying to do that but they always take it poorly. I'm trying to figure out a better way to frame it.

Save up an emergency fund, it'll do wonders for your confidence to negotiate knowing that if they fire you on the spot, you can float for a month or two until you find a job (though hopefully it would be much faster than that).

As a woman I do find I need to negotiate a little differently. It's a careful balance. I can't remember where I've read it, but someone once said, "For men you're being assertive. For women you're being bitchy.

For me the environmental impact is also a factor.I don't need a bunch of items sitting around wasting energy because they're all pointlessly wi-fi connected, have sensors, or are "always on and ready to go". And with mor

It's missing quite a few of mine. Also this kind of reverse lookup has been around for a long time. Nothing new here.

1.) Write things down. Get organized. Google Calendar and Trello mean I never forget to do anything and I don't exercise brain power on remembering it all. This helps balance by being more relaxed. At night I don't worry about all

Really hits the nail on the head. When writing resumes and doing interview prep, I always try to put myself in the other person's shoes. Would I hire me? Would I be offering what is wanted?

For Spock, he's supposed to be different, he's an alien. So it's ok. If Spock had a tentacle, it's fine, he's an alien. When humans are different, you're doing being human wrong. If a human has a tentacle, some

Well if anyone can be a stickler it'll definitely be that programmer that was once burnt by a rogue semicolon. I'm sure it happens sometimes. I just haven't personally seen it with the roles "Software developer", &q

I've never met someone who was like "Programmer" and "Software Developer" are too different! Same with "Coder". "Software Engineer" in some countries would be a no-no but many places it's in

I frequently put my title on resumes as whatever the company I am applying for is calling it. There's so many names for the same thing. If we call it "programmer" at this job and they call it "software developer" at
