Had final interviews at two companies. Glad it’s over. Pretty sure I got one of them. Gonna take a month or two off then start interviewing again. If they offer, I’ll have two jobs.

How deep were the technical portions? Lately I have been feeling I am over preparing for my next move.

These were for sales roles so less technical but more emphasis on presentation, communication, and objection handling.

I interviewed for technical roles 3 months ago. Architect, Senior Engineer, etc. Those interviews were tough. Definitely didn’t study enough. Needed to know how to architect a 3 tier web application and how to ‘lift and shift’.

Just start interviewing. That’s the quickest way to see where u stand.

How did you get in this field?
What are the education or experience requirements to enter in this field?
What are the keys to succeeding in this field?

You can read my posts in the IT thread to see how I went from 15/hr to 6figures. The key to success is reading that entire thread.

Childless women, single/not dating, or those that just don't like give a shyt about their families, make THE worst managers. Find something else to love other than your job and getting on my nerves. I've never missed a white man in my life, but my professional heart yearns for my old manager.

This will be a situation where I put in my 2 weeks and notify them at the end of that two weeks that I'm leaving. On my last day, I'll travel to DC, send my quitting email from the lobby, and hand all the equipment over. That's what happened in my dream anyway. I took the Amtrak from Baltimore. I really dreamed in detail about leaving a job :heh:

This is maturity. Usually I dream about fukking shyt up or going postal.

It's a lot of moving pieces, but I feel the issues started when my old manager left.

Leadershyt wants all these fancy dashboards or in depth analytics, but they have poor data and no clear direction. So as a BI developer, I end up working on shyt that goes no where or only for an audience of two people.

Back to my old manager, he was a technical person, so he would fight back on some of these projects...basically making the business provide clearer requirements. My new manager, Indian woman, let these fools tell her whatever and she brings it back to us.

The latest project I loathe is one where we, the development team are supposed to create correlation between sets of unrelated data, model the data, build a dashboard and demo it. On some "show leadership what we are capable of". I don't agree with that at all because if ever they decide to truly correlate the data, the work done is useless.

I'm not gonna hold you, as much as I like to just what's required at work and be otherwise anti-social, sometimes coworkers oversharing makes the work day more funny/interesting.
During our team standup, I just had a coworker share a prison story about when her husband who was in jail for a DUI :dead:

I'm approaching burnout but I think more is about to be asked of me at work. Which is fine, but something else gotta shake in my life.

I think we need an Au-Pair, but that's not happening.

if you american brehs think america and american tech are :mjpls:you need to take a look at europe.

it is a joke.

especially in continental europe.

and over time improvements are hard to detect. going by social metrics it is getting worse.

WATTBA :mjpls:

nope.

i think that says enough.

crehs hate (and i mean *hate* "hate") to see a breh do better or earn more than them or just even hold down a professional job.

especially in mainland europe.

low expectations abound.

had a run in yesterday. had to comment.

Really burnt out in my current role. Need a change in the worse way. Going to try to finesse an internal transfer to Product Management. Don’t think there is headcount now but want to be ready and advocated for the moment it is.
