Banks in the US are _very_ insistent on the return to office mandate. Noncompliance would be met with termination. Rest assured their goal is full return to office despite the current "hybrid" model they are pushing, and you are n

I believe they meant to use the tildes to indicate a strikethrough text format, as with markdown. The "cul", I would guess is an unfinished "cultists", even though you'd typically strikethrough a completed word. Whe

Fixed rate is the standard in the US. If someone here gets an adjustable rate, I usually assume they are financially illiterate.

No idea why you're downvoted - these points all make sense: -I should speak to someone at the company before having to write code -Interviews go both ways -Coding problems should be appropriately sized, encapsulated, and reproducible -

The problem with this is that your previous manager may be an idiot who can't accurately judge your skills. You have the same problem: your manager is no more trustworthy than you are, and it's much easier to just have you write s

Many subreddits are simply themed containers of creative writing. With all the media attention the AntiWork subreddit has gotten lately that brings more karma farmers and therefore more fiction. It's an entertaining read, but not likel

You'd be shocked at how bad the average software developer is at writing software. I've interviewed many people who can't solve FizzBuzz level problems. In interviews I have people program a function to rearrange characters i

I don't know why you're downvoted - it's absolute nonsense to think that your CTO should be 80% your best developer. Your CTO should not be writing code at a company with >100 employees - why would they maintain 80% of the

To expand - every meeting should have a clear agenda that is communicated beforehand. How can anyone expect to be prepared for a meeting if they don't even know what it's about? Spend the 60 seconds it takes to put a description o

People here are suggesting credentialing as if it will remove interview requirements rather than simply add a new hoop to jump through. I do not believe required credentialing solves the interviewing problem at all. You see it today with th

I would think that if anyone is overreacting it's the person who thinks people who struggle to identify with remote workers are sociopaths. I haven't made any black and white statements or used absolute terms such as "no empa

Your exaggeration and dismissal is perfect evidence of your inability to empathize with the struggles of people you haven't met in real life.

I am a manager and do have a concern for company culture. Culture is how the teams work together - socially, professionally. It's harder to maintain culture remotely. It switches from something that "just happens" with a bit

The two people in the meeting decide it. I'm sure if either of them are creepy then you will end up with a creepy meeting. Otherwise it's just a professional meeting with an agenda and a desired outcome, like any other. If you hav

It's impossible to overstate how much I agree with the need for a separate project management role. Project management is the biggest distraction I have from the "things only I can do" and the biggest morale and time suck. I

One on one meetings are not "creepy" - they are a chance to have an open conversation about your goals; your concerns; and anything else that needs to be discussed about your career, the organization, etc. Do you know what the sal

I make a judgement call - either I end the interview immediately or skip most of the rest of the interview, let them think they made it all the way through the interview and say that we will get back to them with a decision later. When I en

You must not have tried to hire a software engineer before. In a hiring cycle I encounter multiple "Senior Engineers" who can't write basic code. Fizzbuzz. Can't do it. Engineers should absolutely expect to write real co

I guess that depends on your definition of "hard". Will the world end if you don't meet that regulatory deadline? No. Will the company survive? Maybe. Will you lose your job? Maybe. Are there other jobs for you? Yes.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. The article seems to be written by someone who has not yet learned the life lesson that "everything is a negotiation". There's no such thing as a hard deadline. Everything is made up. What yo

I did address your question - I ask them to write code first. It may waste your time, but it saves time for my team. You can't code? Ok, the interview is over. Thanks for your time. There's lots of debate on what kind of coding qu

I'm a hiring manager and I start our technical interviews with coding problems. I have seen too many candidates who can't write code to ever be ok hiring someone who I haven't seen write code with their own hands. I understan

American in Texas here - maybe this is a behavior encouraged by the very thing we're discussing, but going to the grocery store _every day_ is a big yikes to me. I go once a week and get everything I need for that week. Because I take

This is how I learned web development. Don't forget photoshopping the glossiest buttons possible. Not sure if that fad was before or after the grunge.

I agree with the sentiment wholeheartedly - It’s easy for technical people promoted to a people management role not to realize that their words now have a significantly greater affect on morale. The author did a good job expanding on situat

Agreed: as a hiring manager I check every github profile I see on a resume. I have never been anything but disappointed.

It's a common phrase that means to drink enough alcohol to pass out. Presumably because otherwise sleep would be difficult to find, due to withdrawal symptoms.
