Sure it will, but even if it doesn't, it's less time I have to spend writing a cover letter.

There has to be a better way. I really think TripleByte was on to something. No other profession has such a convoluted interviewing system. Imagine if doctors were expected to perform surgeries in X minutes in order to prove they were quali

I never made the connection before, but yes online dating apps are a LOT like interviewing for software jobs. In both cases, I am/was "rejected" a lot, but in both cases, wherever/whoever I ended up with, was very happy

While I am no stranger to interacting with developers who seem to only be in the industry because of how well it pays, I find your advice frustrating. My experience with startups is that they demand a lot of A) interest from the candidate

It provides additional legal protection to the employer in the case they decide to terminate the employee during the first X days. Additionally, it serves as a "motivator" for new employees to be on their best behavior and to give

Probation periods are seen in the US, despite "right to work" labor laws because A) the company is large and has employees in California, or another state where labor laws favor the employees a bit more or B) the company wants to

I'm in the US and the last few jobs I've had all came with a probation period. All were salaried positions.

by gymbeaux 4y ago
Sure, but, at least in my experience, new hires are ALWAYS on probation. So to me the status quo is this: you get vetted "harshly" in the interview process, then you have to clear the probation period. That said, I think it&#x27

I’ve always been fascinated with the idea that someone can be a software developer for 5, 10, 20 years and bomb in interviews, and I’ve always wondered if they really don’t know these things, or if it’s just the environment- like in my expe

by gymbeaux 4y ago
But usually there’s a 90 or 120-day probation period for new hires. How about letting them “interview” for the job, on the job . Screen them obviously, but after that… I mean the best way to see if they’re a good hire is to actually hire t

It’s true, and partially why I pivoted away from web development. Web development is so repetitive. It can be oversimplified to “make me a GUI for this database”. Yawn. I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life correcting my CSS and JS for

It is clearly designed for counterfeiting. If your concern and interests are truly limited to trade shows, I’m sure an ingot of steel painted gold would suffice.

I think it's because you "have to" run a command to activate the virtual environment AKA use files that are already in the directory. With NodeJS (or any other platform/language), it's implied that the files in your

It's directly-tied to a certain point. There is a maximum, so it's not really fair to say "hey you make more, you get more back in SS!" You're using 95 when the average lifespan in the US is 77 ($522k given back to

It's strange. I know the colloquial wisdom is that it's not only NOT strange, but a good idea... but it's strange. It's usually ex-FAANG who are likely millionaires from a net-worth perspective, who were given weeks or m

I'm not looking for tears, believe it or not. I would like to opt-out of SS (once I have paid in a certain amount - I realize it only works when EVERYONE pays in), and put that money in my IRA instead.

by gymbeaux 4y ago
You can't collect SS until you are 65, 65 - 45 = 20, most people are employed by 20. There are probably more people who pay more into SS than they get back, than you think, whether they make it to age 68 or not. Many Americans don&#x27
