This is the same ‘no true scotsman’ argument used with scrum. Over 15 years I’ve very rarely had anything productive come out of 1:1s. I think some people just require more support than others. I personally find them to be an enormous waste of time.
That's what I would do: quit Europe. FB is part of life of millions of people. They would cancel this GDPR thing in a day to save their FB experience. Or at least add an exception to GDPR for FB.
probably never. in a way, this broadly applicable quote applies: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!"
80% of people in the US make less than $75k. the idea that people experience diminishing returns on income is a strong argument in favor of redistribution, and is a couple notches more sophisticated than just saying outright that rich people don't deserve what they have. how many people are likely to seriously interrogate the claim that they deserve more than they are paid and/or would use it more efficiently?
I'm pretty sure I know what company this is, subsidiary of Raytheon. No one would discuss salary with me until I had an offer and you guys couldn't hit 115K
Fair enough, I just wish you guys didn't beat around the bush so much about salary in early discussions. I really wanted to take the offer but the salary was a non starter, wasted both of our time.
Interviews aren't perfect. Actually, they are awful, but everything else is worse. An interview is largely what determines the level at which an offer is made. Giving a salary isn't simple when you don't know if a person would be a junior-level person or a senior-level person. Some people interview badly.
Even if value is correctly determined, it is important to realize that your value is specific to the job you are being considered for. Picture a world-famous brain surgeon deciding to become a stock trader: it may be that stock traders can be paid well and that the brain surgeon has great skills, but the skills are likely a poor fit for the task at hand. Switching to a different role can make you a beginner again.
Most people got large raises in October. If I remember right, 25% was normal. I don't know when you were offered 115K, but that matters. The market finds a price you see. We made the required adjustment.
I recently checked starting pay for new college grads at Silicon Valley companies, and 115K seemed to be in the middle of the pack. This is however just the raw number. It's more like 200K if you adjust for cost of living in a place like Florida.
How do you encrypt any user data without a password/key? Intelligentsia's iPhone app does this, and I deleted my account because I couldn't figure out how they were protecting my payment info.
