corona familiar posted:gotta get it debugged and tested before the 40 minute free zoom meeting limit runs out the place I work at is so stingy with full zoom licenses that they've lost out on candidates because there weren't enough licenses to go around for all interviewers for the interview volume. they have assuredly spent more on extra hiring effort than licenses for all interviewers would cost not understanding that dev time is a cost is typical for this place, so at least its in character

nobody ever acts like dev time costs the $50-$300/hour that it does. and $50 is more like offshore peeps

If we considered the cost of dev time, we'd also have to consider the cost of meetings. If we did that, the entire Management class would be jobless overnight and we can't have that now can we!

i think expensify or similar built a plugin for their google calendar that would show cost of the meeting based on salary of attendees

My new team is 100% WFH, but does seem to have a "cameras on during standup/team meetings" culture. Fortunately that doesn't extend to larger org meetings, except for whoever is speaking. I did get randomly called on to speak (just as a "you're new here, introduce yourself") during one of the larger org meetings last week, and fortunately I was paying enough attention and was camera-ready at the time. After I did my intro, though, I think my manager realized their faux pas and apologized on Slack for putting me on the spot.

For some reason, our stand-ups, one-on-ones, and other small meetings tend to be camera-off while our giant meetings where somebody is usually sharing their screen anyway tend to be camera-on. I don't have a camera hooked up to my desktop computer, so gently caress em

my last job had a physical office but lots of remote people and hired a new cto between when I applied and when I was onboarded. he mandated a “cameras always on for all meetings” policy and the people he brought as managers parroted that he’d also do online monthly all-dev psyche-up morning rallies to get us excited about the work we were doing, including inspirational quotes from navy seals who may or may not have done war/drug crimes. the first one he did killed my morale for a day and a half so I recorded a long video clip of me mostly holding still, smiling at the camera and occasionally nodding in agreement and looped it with the OBS virtual camera plugin on my personal machine

A friend and former coworker/classmate who's a senior-ish guy at a privately owned company with less than 50 people (not a startup, not trying to go public, has been around a while and actually makes a profit, not based in figgie land though) let me know they were hiring and I ultimately got the job and accepted last week. I'm taking a slight pay cut but I'm leaving a big tech job that I'm exhausted with and I already know from the people I interviewed with and my friend giving me unfiltered information on what it's like that I'm going to be so much happier at this new place. Maybe I'm just trying to talk myself into being more ok with taking a small pay cut but I feel like the environment at this new job is going to be a way better fit for me and with how much happier in general I expect I'll be that makes the ~10% cut in salary per year worth it.

I've worked at a similar type of company (lifestyle business, 50 people) in the past and it was the best dev experience I've ever had due the culture of growing slow and growing with the right cultural hires. I would 100% go back if they wanted me at 90% salary. Hope it works out for you!

I moved to the Netherlands January of last year (2023). I am here under my spouses visa and it allows me to work for any Dutch company without the need for sponsorship. I can also still work for any US company, with freelance being the easiest to manage. I already have a freelance company that I am registered to that can handle all the payments / contract paper work. When I first started applying to Dutch companies for iOS Dev positions I was at least getting responses but failed to get past either the tech screens or make it to the final interviews. Some of them baffled me because I felt like their culture matched my preferences to a tee and they seemed enthusiastic to move forward. But would then be passed up on. After about October of last year I stopped even getting email rejections, just ghosted completely. I kept a spreadsheet and I applied for 1200 jobs in about an 8 month period. The one wall I cannot seem to push past is finding any freelance positions in the US for iOS Deverlopers. Most of the sites I came across seem to just be recruiter bait and switch sites and sometimes they ask me a couple questions, say they will reach back but never do. Anyone recommend any reputable US nomad freelance job posting boards? Also for any Euro goons reading this, is it uncommon for companies to hire outsides their base country even if the job is full remote? I guess I still have trouble understanding how open the EU is to letting someone work for a France based company but be remote in like Spain. Or is there a bias against hiring people residing in the Netherlands?
