My account team tried to sell anthos, but they knew nothing beyond “it’s for the dc”. They had no idea what it actually was, or what problems it would solve. They’d get us on the phone with engineers who would just ask if we use VMware and

I’m not, it’s the other problem after the promo issue. Google is an engineering only company, if you aren’t an engineer you’re second class. So engineers see a cool problem like live migration and solve that. But they do an awful job at bui

At a smaller company, definitely not. The focus changed at least yearly so planning that far out was fruitless. The one year plan was see what is making money and do more of that, keep the lights on, and try a couple quarter long experiment

i know thats the common refrain, im sure its true most of the time, but aside from this last year or so ive gotten more increases from promos/equity than from job hopping(which have mostly been flat)

Right, like the company raised bands for new hires but didn’t raise current employees commensurately, that is in line with needing to job hop, and tracks with the other comment of a couple thousand. But the difference in pay now is so drast

There’s a difference between variable and a new hire at my current level would get literally double my current comp as a person at the company for five years

these tend to be for one-off analytical queries. you want ever user with flag X >10 joined against five other tables each with similar filters. you don't know ahead of time what that query is, your analyst thought of it this mornin

nah the article was really overblown. 'we've approved budget for five years. and our goal is to beat azure.' more or less, but that doesnt mean in five years there wouldn't be more budget approved, and it didnt seem like

the incentive part of ISO is you don't pay regular tax - other stock options you do though. unless you're talking about an 83b election(early exercise), or double trigger rsus, but those are not really types of options. also, am

by idunno246 4y ago
the irs defines the rules for an ISO, so to be incentivized it must exercised within 90 days of leaving. with an NSO(or ISO), the limit is ten years from grant, again set by the irs - you can still be employed and have to deal with this.

Even more fun, my primary care office billed a visit to insurance under the PAs name, so insurance treated it as a specialist. So they tried to charge the higher copay… had to get them to resubmit with the doctors name, despite not seeing t

I think I’ve just had too many discussions where someone’s complaining they aren’t given time to fix tech debt, and they think by calling it that it automatically qualifies for needing to be done. And the person that they’re asking time fro

it depends how you want to grow. if you want to be really deep on one subject, a larger company will get you that more easily since teams tend to be more siloed and focused. if you want to learn a breadth of things, jump from data to backe

to me the title sounds like its cancel all flights, like its closing. but that doesnt really make sense, it's just phrased badly. its borderline clickbait, it sounds really bad(worse than it is), and the only way to understand what the

sre means different things to different people, it’s an overloaded term like devops. but I feel like he spent a lot of this article defining what it meant for this team - all that about embedding a dedicated person is their definition of sr
