Strangely even technically competent managers seem to favor presence and subservience over actual results, at least for lower-level engineers at bigger companies. Thankfully at least the senior engineers will be in your corner if you know w

That seems more desirable. I tried hired.com on a whim but most of the jobs were the kind I would only accept if I were desperate. Then again, I have a lot of flexibility in my current role and would only leave for a job that fits very spec
