For legal reasons many companies will only say if someone worked there or not. Giving any more specific feedback is not something that is done at the companies I've worked at.

Why do they need to verify my role? The new company interviewed me and can decide if I qualified for the job and if they want to pay me what I am asking. Most likely the new company is simply trying to pay me as little as possible. > you

You are correct and thanks for bringing this up. I didn't think about how it affects people with different constraints than my own.

Your new employer can believe you? If they are hiring simply based on a couple words from a different company, then there is going to be risk for them.

I worked at Apple and I’m okay they do this. My role is my information to share. I don’t need that sitting in some database in perpetuity.

Google is already doing this in countries like China and South Korea.

I'm also curious if anyone has purchased secondary market shares and what that experience is like.

Thank you. I wasn't really involved in the client, so I probably don't have much insight to share in that regard. It was really special to what I had been working on in a keynote or read articles/comments specifically address

Thank you again! There is a lot that goes into quality search and recommendations, and I was just a small piece of a great team.

I’m ex-Apple, so that may help, but I was once told it’s fine to talk about anything that is in a job posting. People are working on almost everything, so I don’t feel like I’m giving away anything shocking. Apple is a big place, though. My

Also in BC/PNW you can buy old houses that are going to be demolished. Some friends on Lopez Island had an old home shipped over and plopped on their 40 acres where they then started growing wheat and baking bread. https://w

Arena is pretty bad. Definitely dark patterns are being used with their gold/gem economy.

That's great to hear companies are open to four days for 80%. I'm surprised as engineer's salaries go up and up that there aren't more people looking to trade money for time.

I consulted long ago, but I just didn't really enjoy looking for clients, thinking about taxes/deductions, invoicing, and the like. I'm always open to helping out with consulting, but it isn't something I want to go out

I've been trying to find a salaried position at a company for a while now. I've been offering 3 days per week for 50% salary and health care. This give a company that couldn't afford an engineer with 16 years of professional

I'm sorry you are struggling. The book The Road Less Traveled was helpful for me. Wish you the best.

At Intuit we were told by legal not to use email in legal matters.

Interesting. Different than my experience, but I was FAANG in Southern California, not the Bay Area. We did have partners with all sorts of companies for discounts, so I would be surprised that there were discounts available, but it wasn’t

No. Nobody cares about the specific company when you are getting a loan.

You didn’t answer my only question. Also, still sounding like you don’t understand how large systems like Roblox/Twitter/Apple/Facebook/etc are designed, deployed, and maintained-which is fine; most people don’t–but sayi

Are you implying that Roblox should move their entire system to the API Gateway + Lambda to solve their availability problems? Seriously though, what is your RTO and RPO? We are talking systems that when they are down you are on the news. S

Yes. If you are running in two zones in the hopes that you will be up if one goes down, you need to be handling less than 50% load in each zone. If you can scale up fast enough for your use case, great. But when a zone goes down and everyon

Oh nice. They are getting close! Still unprofitable, but maybe year seventeen is the sweet spot.

I still don't understand how a business can be unprofitable for 16 years. At one point don't you say, "whelp, this isn't going to work"?

Was it Ray Bradbury that said something like the only difference between the rich and the poor in the future will be the number of ads they see?
