Is the prostitution on their resume?

As I said in the other post of mine that you commented on, you're welcome to not agree with me (or anyone, I don't care), that's totally fine with me.

We can agree to disagree.

I mean, without knowing anything about you or your company other than what you posted above, it's hard to say. But in my experience the industry could use more morality based hirin…

What if the job they were "just" doing exists in a legal grey area? Or, more realistically, is flatout illegal?

It's difficult to know what/where the line is for sure, but I think lots of software has shifted away from making people's lives better. Facebook, Amazon, Uber, are doing more nega…

I feel this way about lots more than Facebook. BigTech is committing atrocities every day, and the developers that work there are generally complicit in that behavior. I think it's…

Probably a company with an above-average amount of moral character amongst its development staff.

Live in a tech hub, get a good recruiter, say yes to everything. 60 is probably extreme, and a good recruiter would probably actually turn you down for this type of behavior, but i…

There is no reason to not be honest about these types of things (unless of course you're doing something shady). If you want to fill the position quickly, you should say so. Now, o…

And if you were going to believe a company's metrics on productivity, JP Morgan is almost certainly not the place to start.

In this thread: "It's not done because I want it to be different."

Just because you disagree with a design decision doesn't change the done/dead debate. It's done, because its maintainers have agreed the project has gone as far as it needs to go, …

No, we're all pretty average people. Mediocre colleges with mediocre degrees and mediocre working histories.

Yes, and my point is to not take that critical failure out on the candidate.

It's less me, and more the experience of myself, my close friends and professional colleagues. But as with everything, I would assume it's a mix of both.

I have less than 20 years experience (less than 10 even) and I have gotten/seen a bunch of offers/jobs/etc with remote-only or remote-first over 100k

So...practically none of them...?

If someone's resume was only wordpress sites, and they somehow made it into a technical interview for a team that managed twitter-like systems, I'd consider that a critical failure…

If it's a pub/sub model, you wouldn't care at all about how many were watching right? You'd just publish. And for something like Twitter, you'd probably Publish but then also log t…

This comment is all kinds of wrong. FAANG is "used to" pulling down anywhere from 150-400k. On the flipside, many many remote jobs pay significantly more than you're describing, mo…

> whenever the virus is neutralized. I suspect not before 2022. And even that is generous.

In my experience, being an advocate for the candidate (during the interview) is the best way to make interviewing more pleasant. My goals (during the interview) are to learn as muc…

I think it's more that the ability to work remotely has been unlocked for pretty much every business that operates online (which, as I type it, sounds kind of crazy that it didn't …
