By domino Go To Postis this 8 hr interview preliminary or pretty much the "youre almost hired, we just need to make sure you're not a fucking weirdo" step
Basically the latter. Obviously the people outside of the group he would be going to aren't going be able to ask the technical stuff, so that's more personality and situational stuff. It's why you're meeting with someone from each group and the CIO. But if you cant answer early tech questions to the group you'll be going to....🤷♂️
By Fenderputty Go To PostTech industry is special … 8 hour review processes are stupidThe fucking worst. Especially when they ask you the same goddamn questions over and over again.
By MonadL Go To PostThe fucking worst. Especially when they ask you the same goddamn questions over and over again.
Prepares you pretty well for most working enviroinments mind.
By diehard Go To PostI've never even had an actual real interview … 8 hours long? damn
lol they're not all like this. When I interviewed this was by far the longest I had to go through and it caught me way off guard too.
And it's not entirely technical questions throughout the day. They just want you to meet with reps/managers from each group , and that's what makes it long. It's basically an extended conversation to get a feel for you and if you'd fit personality wise. In a small company that's a pretty big thing.
The actual technical part is when you get to the group you're supposed to be going to.
By unemployed sy Go To Postwhat's your usual commute time?The 15 seconds it takes me to roll out from my bed to my computer.
If this shitty job im applying takes me, my commute is getting increased from 20 minutes to an hour :/
A serious answer, though, my longest commute was about 45 minutes. I did it for several years. I hated it, even though it was a scenic route with little traffic and had fun little curves. Anything longer than about 20 minutes is the pits.
35 mins when there's no traffic. There's always traffic so anywhere from about 45-75 mins. Management isn't fond of it but I'm like
1) I almost died last year in a car wreck so I'm not rushing anywhere and
2) I do too well for yall to bitch and moan about what time I get here and leave and you know it
and that was the end of that

8 fucking hours is there a physical and stress test?
Also hour commute sucks especially if its a shit job and a good chunk of your first couple hours basically go towards getting your ass there. Some places, even shitty jobs have like transit crap they can give you though.

Mine is short enough that I can run to the house and eat lunch, see wife/kid, do whatever, and be back in the office within the lunch period. As long as you're not gone for like 2 hours or something, they don't trip.

Ohh god lmao. Kib would die in LA
By Fenderputty Go To PostOhh god lmao. Kib would die in LAI don't get along well in cities, in general. The constant noise and motion and sheer amount of people just starts to irritate me after a week or two.
e: on top of no yards and having to go out your way to find fun sections of road to drive on
By Daz Go To PostLol @8 hour interview what are you going to learn in hour 7 that slipped you in hour 2? Sounds like torture for everyone involved.Common practice in tech world. One company wanted me to come in and do two one hour whiteboarding sessions, a 15-min presentation, an hour long lunch to get to know everyone, and then a 4 hour pair programming exercise.
I had already done 3 hours of interviews at that point.
By unemployed sy Go To Postwhat's your usual commute time?

Quality of commute is more important than quantity. I'd happily spend an hour on train each way each day, because that's not time wasted. 40 minutes each way driving through traffic however would make me want out pretty quickly.
You in europe? Those trains more chill than here. Here you got assholes yelling into phones, playing music on loud speakers or just generally someone who makes your flight or fight go off you wanna keep an eye on. All at like 6-8 in the morning too. Get to work you're already just frazzled by bullshit and people.

I was in the gaming industry for a bit and that shit is even worse. Half hour to hour long phone interviews followed by design tests that could take you a week followed by an all day onsite interviews. Madness.

Yards, less people, less noise and access yo drives and nature are all attainable in LA. You’ll just drive 3 hours in traffic daily lol
This is now one of the worst fresh-water floods in American history. TS #Imelda has brought more than 41 inches of rain in the past 3 days to Texas — that’s a 1-in-1000 year rainfall event, just 2 years after Harvey (also a 1-in-1000 year event.)
*sigh*
By Fenderputty Go To PostHow many climate deniers will Texas and Florida vote for in 2020?
and this is/was "just" a tropical depression. my car is fucked up because of it. i was trying to get home and beat the torrential rain, but got caught in higher water than I've ever been in. multiple cars stalled out and i thought i was stuck. only reason i was able to get home is because i live on the 6th floor and my wife was able to direct me to an open street that somehow wasn't flooded. took that straight to the house.

Nonsense. They'll agree that when you see a tree... climate.

Looking at that you'll need a snorkel intake on it.
We got a new Bengal kitten. His name (at present) is War Kitten. He likes fighting, and sometimes more fighting.

cute. He's going to have a lot of energy at every time of day and harass you to play at like 4am. I've looked after a friend's Bengal and fucking hell it was nonstop fucking action. He could actually play hide and seek. He would fucking dismantle small animals like he was a Tory and they were the NHS.

Our other (now 3.5 years old) cat is a Bengal:
He is bearing the brunt of it. His character is very un-Bengal tho. Chilled and timid as fuck.
So cute. Chill is good though. A kitten that's smart and hyper will be pissed it doesn't have a playmate.

nice. How much did the little guy cost?
He was £375 (not neutered or vaccinated yet given his age is at 9 weeks). The other was like £650 but we got him from a breeder that breeds actual show cats that compete lol.
By unemployed sy Go To PostY'all let your pets sit on your couch?
Honestly, neither of them like sitting on it. In that particular case Crumbs was just running away from the War Kitten.
