It’s more weird that if he does the job to their satisfaction that it should even matter. If he was a contract worker nobody would even bat an eye at the number of clients he took on but as an employee how dare you not take it up the shit pipe.

Yea but the point of a job is to strangle your life and monopolize your time and youthful vigor, not actually do work. Do you even capitalism bro?

I have to take a day off of one when I have to go to the office once every quarter or so at either place.

But its very doable and I got promoted in both places so I am clearly doing something right. Or at least appear to.

I’m really tempted to try this however my current software engineering job is on the higher stress/time requirement. I’d need to balance it with something that requires less time. Maybe defense but dunno if they’d catch me on a clearance request. It would be nice if it was something I could do on weekends.

I think if the work tasks and tech stacks were wildly different it would be much harder. But mine are literally identical. I got some certs this year and got reimbursed and advancement benefits at both places (lol). The only difference is one place uses Azure and the other uses AWS. The tasks are all backend data related and customer facing. So I don't have to switch gears for more than a minute or two.

Unrelated but what’s your opinion on aws vs azure?

IMO: AWS>Azure>>>GCP.

But it isn't like I am using every feature. Azure is easier to learn overall than AWS but I just have a lot more AWS experience so this taints my perspective a bit. Azure LogicApps are really nice for example and the closest AWS feature is Lambda. Which isn't nearly as easy to use but can ultimately do all the same stuff. I like AWS Glue over Azure Data Factory. Pros and cons really I guess. I don't put too much thought into it.

Yea, Azure is better for some tasks but AWS is "cleaner" sometimes. Azure documentation sucks in a lot of areas and it's sort of poisoned by the clones of services on the M365 side making certain things far too complicated or costly despite basically running on the same services.

I need a remote job.

I've been cashiering / working with money the last few months and have a decent IT resume so regardless of my online persona I /can/ be trusted.

Have references professional and landlord references as well.

Please keep an eye out!

Experience is in Information Technology / Inventory Control / Money

I would just like to say I really enjoy the phrase "no wiggle room" in salary negotiations.

Well, sounds like you've got the wrong fucking guy then.

Prodigal · Mar 18, 2024

Had an odd interview today - anyway, have an evaluation for “attention to detail” scheduled and an Excel evaluation…. Wish me luck.

Deathwing · Mar 18, 2024

You already failed. Noping out of any position that wants an "excel evaluation" is the attention to detail they were looking for.

Boys, I'm having the worst time of my life trying to find a job. I've been applying nonstop since September and I've only been able to secure one interview.

I'm starting to think all these jobs don't actually exist.

That's because there's 1000 applicants in 5 minutes but it's really 5 pajeets spamming 200 applications with some ai bot as soon as the post goes up. I've seen it in real time at my place. Make a post and immediately receive 100 applications that aren't humanly possible.
