Set your sites on Director of Development and QA. Then you are in management, but still work in the medium you like, and hopefully hire skilled people you enjoy managing.

I just throw her on ignore. It just sucks that ignore doesn"t apply to quotes.

Is your current wage fair, and does it give you means to live the quality of life you want, given that the wage is fair? Employees are mostly replaceable cogs, but that"s a good thing. It means that if you can get a better deal somewhere else, you can easily fit in as a higher paid cog...

Take the best deal you have available. If you find a job that can offer you more, then you don"t bluff a deal, you have a legitimate reason to ask for a counteroffer, or to move somewhere else. I don"t really get how people "bluff" their current job with the prospect of an offer. If your...

Will it go over 9000? Because that would make an awesome photoshop.

And yes, the Titcon voting system is the epitome of a monkey paw. I rue the day it was even created!!! How could we have known of the destructive power???

FoH Titcon Voting System (FTVS): Be careful how you wield it, for sometimes the power is too great and disqualifies people with too many votes. You need to know your limits with FTVS.

We never got a consensus on if it has 6 at the top, and if 6 is the least severe. But this will have to do.

The TitconT system is stern, but fair. We can"t make exceptions, but we also can"t make exclusions. I voted.

My posts are over 6000. 3000 to go.

Internal recruiters. They took my info and gave it to the actual department people who I would work with who then did the phone screening and interviews. The recruiter might have passed my info to HR, who passed it to the department heads. They didn"t say, and I didn"t ask. I moved from...

Does having these mega corps recruiting me change things? I"m in final rounds of onsite interviews, one I"ve already finished. I didn"t apply at these places.

I really just wanted tips on how to not be strongarmed by a big corp during offer negotiations.

I guess I should clarify my question more: You are getting a law degree. You can get it from Utah State University, or Colombia. You have the means/scholarships to go to either. Now, I am not Etoille, and I am sure she"s alot smarter than me - but it seems like coming out of Columbia Law...

I had a post and deleted it. I re-read what you wrote, and you"re talking out of both sides of your mouth. You say you have your own ticket now... due to working at places that gave you street-cred and recognition... but don"t need that anymore because now your rep is based on results...

So you"d go back and not work for any big-name corporations? Not just big, but big-name. Recognition that will be with you for decades.

Long term benefit vs. Short term convenience. Take some unpaid days off and check it out. Prioritize your career goals and what will help you in the long run. For me, right now its: 1. International name recognition of employer 2. Experience I need 3. Salary 4. Location.

Well I"d think you"d be looking to move up, either through applying for the vertical job yourself, or by being recruited / headhunted. Where I am at now, the President, VP"s and C-level (CTO specifically) were mostly recruited from other places. And probably 1/3rd of the Director/Manager...

You don"t think there is value when you are searching for new jobs? I don"t really agree, but I"m willing to hear more about what you"re saying. You say you"re 50, and in software development. I have no idea what your work history is, or where you are at now. You think there"s no real value...

I just finished reading the "chronological Civil War" pack. It wasn"t a bad read. I don"t see how anyone could have sided with Iron Man. It was sad to see him as the villain. I have no idea what happens after Civil War, I"m looking around a bit for other packs of completed series. I have...

He doesn"t often troll, but when he does, he swings for the fences.

Not offers, the final stages of interviews before a final offer. I don"t have any info on proposed salary. Also, being asked to disclose my current salary seems pretty mercenary, fairly certain I won"t supply that information unless they say it"s a deal breaker. I"m trying to get that offer...

I"ve read this thread a few times, I get the essentials for negotiation from the people here, but I have 3 confounds i have zero insite on - I have the skills for a 100k+ job or more. Bigger cities, nicer cities. Tech cities. - I have been recruited by 2 places, unsolicited by me. - both...

Actually yes. Men with Asperger"s syndrome usually are not nearly as interested in physical appearance as normal. In fact, often they overlook it completely.

GV, I"ve remained neutral on this whole thing, I will not take part in your saga out of respect for your condition of Asperger"s. But I have to ask, do you think that alot of your intellect, and decision making, has to do with being a pretty severe Asperger? Everyone else reads these...

I mean, I attached our welcome kit. Hopefully you know your way around an EPS!!

Of course, we have an open door policy. I will PM you our welcome kit.

Capital graphic Erronius! I had forgotten that informative piece. Maybe next should be an XKCD style map of "foh forums".

I agree. ZesteCo? has been in dire need of good people to join our firm, the Inter City Forum Firm. Every since Screamfeeder"s disappearance, there"s been a lack of photoshop funnies, and I can only do so much. I"ve been working with Tyen to roll out some major new forum products, hopefully...

Man, this is giving Asperger"s a bad name.

QFT. Your response post was over 9000 levels of overreaction.

What"s strange is that they never killed one and brought them back already. Johnny Storm and the Human Torch will be back. How anyone treats this as anything other than just another marketing stunt is beyond me. Hopefully next month we get - Human Torch Prime - Cyborg Torch - I"m a...

Fuck that was awesome, lol.

I am going to say that, while there is an "opportunity cost" to being involved with a person in a romantic relationship, you have to weigh what you lose with what you gain. We all lose things when we enter a relationship. Like Picasso said:Years of your life, money, heartache?But that isn"t...

Fuck man, that is sad. It"s a common story though. And, if they had accounted for "payroll and overhead" as I call it, maybe their haunted house wouldn"t have been as nice. These sorts of things can all be sort of forecast with relatively simple spreadsheets. Me and a friend did a business...
