FWIW I don't think they have Big N clients yet, though they do have e.g. Twitter and Lyft on there. Google is still remarkably old school with interviews: Google Doc for screens, whiteboard for onsites. (Although I've heard that

To be clear, I'm completely fine with a commute. I thought that was obvious when I said suburbs. Hell, my current commute is ~35 minutes. How is it that Berkeley is apparently so cheap while being that close?

She manages an after school drop-in center in a rural area, part time. I want her to be happy, working or not; I think at the moment she likes staying at home with our daughter, at least for now. I'm not sure how transferable it is.

I've been leaning toward that perspective recently. I actually had a remote job in the pipeline but they ended up not being able to pay a commensurate salary or benefits (i.e. it was a significant pay cut from what I'm making now)

Thanks for the feedback. We are a software company (web and mobile), but we work in the broadcast industry where things can be a little more old-fashioned. Ultimately I want to run my own company eventually, and I feel like management expe

How does an individual contributor (specifically in a startup) get promoted to engineering management? My company is specifically looking to hire a PMP certified manager (externally) to oversee the five person dev team, and there's no
