I had "trouble" finding work over the summer. But the actual details are that I was asking for $275k and $300k at two companies. Both gave me a verbal offers, but hiring froze. The third company, gasp, wanted me to come into their

For the sake of argument, let's just assume that all of this is true and they are acting in self interest and everyone is horrible all the time. I would still take the deal. I would work there if they hired me. If there are enough peop

Any links would have been great :) But yes non-responders do exist, and some people even discover serious cardiac conditions through exercise. In an attempt to clarify "decent amount", maybe this helps? https://link.spr

I'll add myself as a second data point here. Lots of beer. Lots of cigarettes. Lots of sitting and programming. Now most of my friends think I'm some kind of elite athlete and I am not, I just rode around on a bike every couple of

Oh yes, the pipeline deployment process is pretty amazing. I agree, for good reason. My manager has actually recommended I look at profserv teams because of the ability to deliver results for customers. When I started in AWS, I watched cust

I absolutely think you should plan out how your customer will solve their problem with your product, including concrete examples, and make sure you are always headed towards that goal. I'm very waterfally that way. In this case I'

Certainly not speaking for the folks above. While I am critical of many things Amazon does, what I see in the media about AWS is usually laughably false. We aren't all in broken marriages due to on-call duty. The stories I read about d

Current FAANG. Most of the folks I work with give terrible interviews. You really can do these questions correctly, but most don't. My AWS interviewer (I got super lucky) asked me a really basic question about linked lists. Then expa

I don't! :) Yesterday I was on a conf call during my son's soccer practice. I was walking around the woods with my daughter at the same time. I was doing none of the above well. It occurred to me recently that most folks who have

I'm not well versed in BTC, so my prices may be wrong. But this is webscale in a way I haven't thought of before. It is alleged they stole 119754 BTC, which in 2016 was < $1000USD. Which would have been < $100,000,000. Today

But... is the interviewee proxy doing this as a side gig? If they are good enough to get paid (presumably) for taking interviews, how can that be more valuable than just taking one of the jobs they successfully interview for?

Is there a non-paywall link that everyone is looking at? Or maybe I'm the only one without a subscription to the Economist. Or is the headline the only reason this is upvoted to #1, and people are just assuming what the article says?

I was reading https://www.niaaa.nih.gov/alcohols-effects-health/overview-a... , which looks a little different than your chart, but the craft beer thing (imho) is dangerous (and I love craft beer). Most of the beers I l

It isn't that easy to do. Anyone advertising their ex-con status is sabotaging themselves. So what signal do they use for every inbound resume? So the company can't just trash the resume. After the interview, if things are moving

How does one get in touch with this UnderdogDevs group without a twitter account, or otherwise public account? I haven't seen an email address anywhere but am probably just missing it.

I'll just +1 this as a datapoint. I am not looking externally until I'm sure I'm done at AWS. I've done 80+ interviews here, and I'm consistently amazed by what drives people to say "The candidate wasn't u
