It's an extremely scarce market, at least in Canada and maybe the U.S at the moment, and during the last year of looking for work I've seen an increased proliferation of companies demanding some sort of 5-10 min video…

I'm in the same hole as a ton of other people in Canada and the U.S, such that I'm unemployed and prospects are nil. What I'm seeing is that most companies, if they have any postings, have chosen to only advertise…

The GitHub API currently supports the Device Flow for apps intended to be deployed on platforms that don't have their own input method, but explicitly doesn't support the PKCE extension to OAuth 2. In a number of easily…

I've been thinking a bit about how certain cities really bet too heavily on cheap property taxes and car-centric infrastructure, in some cases having large aging populations, small current generations, housing/job…

Ever since the smallish startup I was working for was acquired by a huge company, and my team lead became a higher-level manager, he's essentially been smothering/micro-managing me, and seemingly ignoring any pleas for…

Someone in another thread mentioned they purchased an RTX 3090 for Minecraft, which sounds awesome, but seems excessive, only because I'm not having as much fun with games atm. So, what games are you having the most fun…

I was recently contacted by an Amazon recruiter and asked to apply for a few jobs in my area. Upon realizing that I gave him the email of my regular Amazon account, I endeavored to re-activate it after it had previously…

With the way real estate and inflation is like, in Vancouver BC in particular, have you increased your salary dramatically in the last two years or tried and failed? Are you working remotely for a U.S company or…

It seems like the state of hiring is getting even more ridiculous, and I've struggled to find anything for over a year. In particular, almost every frontend job runs some homework or hackerrank thing based on React,…

I've recently been rejected after a number of interviews for the nth time, and I plan on attempting to persuade them otherwise, because why not? Have any of you successfully negotiated your way out of a rejection?

This goes for the emotional, social, or professional tolls, particularly in those situations where the job loss was a result of burnout or your own actions and where your sense of self or motivation was deeply affected.…

I lost my job sometime around May 2020, so it's been rather long since I've done anything for money. The job market is somewhat sparse, and it's a particularly tough slog this time round, but particularly because of the…

I'm still on Mojave, having delayed upgrading to this point because of the apparent instability and other issues that kept coming up with Catalina. I don't feel like that was a bad choice. With Big Sur, there's a shiny…

After many years of not being successful at holding down jobs in some aspect of software development or another, I've sort of become desensitized to being let go or terminated from a position. After the first time, I…

I was fired shortly after WFH orders came into place in Canada, in large part because the lack of options for things to do made my job the overwhelming focus of the day and I lost the will to do the relatively menial…

I recently tried a coding test with Amazon, which I failed, but for the life of me I can't find any other answer as to how one of my test cases didn't pass other than the test case was incorrect. Have you had a similar…

A close friend of mine was recently the target of a fatal police shooting (justified), but his name was never released to the press. However, when I search for his name, the news articles talking about his death are at…

Those who have made this career switch, just curious what that transition was like, what was your background before and how does the day to day change? What was your reasoning? Also curious about industrial designers.…
