Surprised actually. If she really did run the company "day to day", seems like she would be in a position to give him the boot (grab the accounts) vs. what actually happened.

Actually, those guys make only a tiny slice of the value per click. Banner advertising is a low return game. Now...if you control the landing page and conversion funnel, basically …

Right but that's where this gets ridiculous. Telling a patient to fast is basically a clinical practice. Almost like checking blood pressure. No actual supplies needed, just behavi…

That seems very anti-competitive. So basically, if fasting is a free treatment for diabetes, you can't promote it without paying these guys a royalty? Boooooo

That's not awful, btw. The one upside of a large consulting firm is you can retain decent talent for boring projects by bouncing them around between assignments.... but you still h…

Sadly that is trivial to get around these days, especially if someone at the new company knows someone at the old one. Most professionals I know are happy to "bend" policy to give …

=> "makes you wonder about the level of competency of the average web development company" Our competency on projects where we are being paid a full domestic consulting rate is qui…

Web publisher here...the real problem is twofold: - Display advertising makes the web suck; while display ads fund a large share of general market content sites, from a purely tech…

Another old geezer here (43!); had a good run in my twenties and wound up in technical management a few years ago. A couple of tips: - The "hands on" technical skills that launched…

THIS. Speaking as a hiring manager, I will absolutely notice any delays or interruptions in your education (unless ancient); in the event you don't give the years, it often becomes…

The real irony here is a rant against commercialism that is published on a page with no less than 11 display ads and a "related content" unit....

There's actually significant learning value in time spent figuring out legacy systems and linking them together. Doing ad-hoc reporting is the IT equivalent of being a short order …

With a truly technical manager, this is honestly one of the fastest ways to torpedo your credibility. Anything listed on your resume is fair game for questions, especially if you c…

Brilliant! I may wind up stealing this as an alternative test for more advanced programmers; everything here can be done using the Python Standard library. And kudos to those of yo…

THIS. Yes, there are SQL statements without Joins. No, we don't usually run them in the reporting organization....

So respond to that job spec with a resume which clearly highlights the 3-4 things you actually did master, with multiple specific project examples and real roles/jobs. You may be p…

Hiring Manager Perspective: Everyone lies, sorry. As a candidate, I hate technical interviews. For the reasons above. As the poor schmuck asked to make the hiring decision, however…

Speaking as a hiring manager, I place a much higher value on verifiable project experience (either I can see it or you can walk me through your unique/non-trivial app in our interv…

Seems like you're deferring one dragon for another. Deliver the project got easier; "Control the customer" got significantly harder. You've now got someone's app store in the middl…

My machine learning algorithm says you will click on. So Dance, Monkey, Dance!!!!!

Sorry, this is faux outrage. Some real world perspective: - Content promotion is different than display ads, at least in terms of how receptive the audience is to buying. There's l…

Interesting - Google's control over organic search might actually come under threat sooner.... http://www.marginhound.com/siri-will-virtual-assistants-disr... Granted, Apple's rece…
