And once they reach the director/vp/c levels it’s even easier to do so, independent on their achievements. They always throw the classic ‘grew the team from x to y people, and from i teams to k teams’ and get an offer.

This looks good, we are going to give a try. Any plan to support Clickhouse as destination? Perhaps a ReplacingMergeTree in the end.

I find clickhouse equally simple. One command to install and then you can either read from local/remote files, create tables, etc

Besides the hn/tech bubble, what percentage of people work remote jobs? Probably 0% according to my circle (in Greece). Is it different in the US?

But majority of companies use deel, remote.com and so many mediators to hire remotely. B2b in other eu countries has way less taxes than being employee. Point is that there are many options and companies out there.

Interesting tool! I am curious about this feature: https://github.com/scottpersinger/pgwarehouse#last-modified in Clickhouse. Have you tested it on big tables and how well does it perform?

I prefer not using anything than bad ux. I uninstalled the app because the android app ux was bad and i couldn’t tune the recommendation engine. Now autoplay? Good luck if there are no settings for this. Same applied to fb, insta and simil

Sorry, but take home test as the first step to filter them is a big no for me. Why should i waste time on a test before even meeting anyone? 1, 2 and 5 should be more than enough. You get to talk to them about their past expertise and even
