got the run around PR answer to my comp conversation. i did get feedback my manager speaks of me highly and wants to retain me, was told to speak with her about promo/merit increase which wouldn't happen until like march next year, even then, i don't think they'd be in the ballpark of what this company i'm interviewing is offering.

one step at a time, but if i get the offer, i'll really be torn. i like my company and my team, but the math aint mathing with a mortgage coming up and other expenses :sadcam:

As someone who is both interviewing candidates and interviewing for a role, you gotta be thoro with candidates to make sure they understand the process. Last thing you want to do is alienate a candidate you're high on, or have a candidate felt lead on or lied to and then they blast you on glassdoor or a follow up survey.

Tried to withdraw out of interview process, and they were like "Breh, you sure? It can't hurt. We're close to making an offer, you can surely make a decision after that. The team is excited to meet you!"

fukk. Now I got a job interview I already told them I'm 99.9% going to say no to.

To that spoiler :usure: :russ:

I was asked to build wireframes using "mock" data, but I used real data and some old pieces of logic and essentially built the app in its entirety. Dude who used to be my lead seemed kind of mad. He's like "well that logic isn't correct that's why we wanted to start over. You should do your wireframes in excel to be consistent with everyone else".

Me to myself: I'm not doing that.

If anyone knows SQL, the Qlik logic I'm using is equivalent to a case statement. The underlying data doesn't change, but based on the case statement the data is categorized differently. In my mind the next step is to review the logic details to make sure it still applies.

The other dude hit him with the :whoa: "Let's put this is in front of the account managers first, this is almost done". So then he's all "Well in the future..." head ass.

1st Round Playoff Exits
I need to come to my co-working space more often, im much more productive outside of the house.

I really just need to get a nice portable monitor to set me up nice. 1 screen aint it
Sometimes simple shyt like going to the living room to do some work makes a difference.

Oh yeah I did similar with one of my boys who left the company (and went on to do bigger and better things :mjcry: ). I also had a weekly meeting for half an hour where a group of us just sat around and shot the shyt.
I say this all the time, when I worked in the office 75% of the time was spent bsing, talking about non work related shyt, about 25% spent doing actual work.

it's so gross how LinkedIn looks like the same clout chasing you saw on FB and see on IG...i want to eliminate posts from people in my feed, i just want company, industry, and professional development news.

i'm going to shoot myself if i see one more novel about how proud someone is to take on a new role, some diatribe about how much more of a woman you are for being a working mom, some captain obvious BS top 5/10 tips for being a successful "....."

#1 be nice to people :smile:
#2 wake up at 6am :lift:
#3 interview like you're interviewing for the hiring manager's role :boss:
#4 read 5 articles per day ::coffee:
#5 flood linkedin with shytty posts :troll:
:dead: that LinkedIn shyt is true. Niccas will have a whole damn Oscar speech for getting an internship :beli:
