Tell them when they hire you, you will help them. I made the mistake of talking too much. Not that I was letting out valuable secrets, but I helped them understand how they were looking at it completely wrong. They had made the proverbial

I changed a number of years ago, because my right wrist and elbow hurt all the time. I use a trackball with the ball on top. Key thing I had to do was switch the buttons. At work I still keep a conventional mouse (right side, buttons norm

I feel if you want that type of discussion you should go to a 'social media' site to get it. Not expect this forum to turn into a social media site.

I would do 20%, but each persons number is based on how much they feel they are paid beyond their need / want level. Like you I do not care for my current job, but for a variety of reasons I am stuck for the next 2. There is an old say

I read the negative posts. Companies do not waste their money having negative posts put in. When I read them I am looking for consistency. If 4 people out of 20 complain it broke in 3 months, well there is my sign. It is there you will al

I am sorry for your pain. I have never had the 'algorithm quiz' interview, and am proud to say I have never given that quiz. IMHO If you are good with algorithms, your resume should show it, and you should be able to speak to it.

Wow that was very enlightening. I had been wondering why meetings used to bug me, and now I have no issue. Oh did I mention I am a manager now, I scheduled this in an appropriate time slot. I cannot wait to get back to hating meetings.
