From what he says he'll be working more closely with engineers than at his previous role. If it is then it's right up his alley.
Word, I just started a gig and now I’m getting calls for opportunities that pay $40k more :mjlit:

I’m going to chill atleast for the next 6 months since I leveraged a connect for it :skip:

Going to touch up my linkedin and resume this weekend. Im ready for something new, and I wanna move out west next year
I get leads from time to time via LinkedIn

edit:
Highest quality opportunities are from recruiters on LinkedIn - great filtering tool because the ESL recruiters don’t harass you there

Had a phone screen and usually I try to bring up salary before they do, but the convo was flowing and she said at the end she'll open the floor up to me for questions, so I made note to ask then. Her last question ended up being "What salary are you looking for?" :stopitslime: . I tell her $120k and she says the max is $117k, but most likely negotiate. I'm not tripping if they don't because $115k is enough to check off all the things I need and want to do with my money for now if I still plan to be debt free in 3 years.

Should have said you're looking for something in the mid 7 figures but you're willing to settle.

So here's a PSA, apparently Facebook's recruiters are segmented. The one I dealt with a little while ago remarked that she was only able to handle candidates with a certain number of years of experience. She did say she'd hand me off so we'll see where that leads.

I have no idea what this means, but muck it

:blessed:
You ever gotten a email from a Indian recruiter asking you to, "Please do the needful?" Well I was part of an email chain from one Nap to another that literally said:

Hello Nap,
Needful has been done...

I've never done the needful :hubie: and I didn't know anyone who had up until the other day :whew:

I just googled and apparently it’s a common Indian phrase. Can’t wait to use it at the corner store!! I might stop by there today.

“Do the needful and don’t charge me for any of this”.
