When you give a two weeks to your company and the HR director pulls you into her office to understand why, then tells you something will have to change in that department because you're the 6 person to quit that position this year.

What do you think of job recruiters? If these four options don't cover it, leave a reply.

So, some good news and a question.

As of last night, I accepted a position with a new company! 🎉 🎉

This position is actually a 6 month contract position with the possibility of getting extended instead of as a full-time employee.

So my question is, do you think it's better to be a contractor or a full-time employee? I've never actually worked as a contractor before so it's the one thing I'm hesitant about.

Has anyone ever used a company to write their resume for them? If so, was it worth it?

A bit random and very specific, but has anyone been able to serve a gatsby site from a docker container? Been reading over the gatsby docker image documentation this evening and trying to just use the node image but no luck so far.

I know, I know, I'm super late to this game but.....#Docker is freakin' awesome.

Started a new job just under a month ago and have yet to do any real work when I had my dev environment setup and ready to go on day one (thanks Linux). That plus the fact that the culture isn't really a great fit for me, I think it's time to quietly start looking yet again....Ugh....😑

For the web devs / software engineers out there. What do you think of timed coding tests in the interview process? I'm a front end dev and just bombed a coding test getting 1 out of 3 questions correct dealing with array manipulation that I've never used in real life before. I have no doubt this will cost me the interview because I didn't know these more obscure problems. But I want to know what you think.

Good morning all 🙃

Good morning all 🙂

This is a small vent about job hunting. I've been a front end developer for the past 5 years, and finding a job hasn't gotten any easier. I've been on a dozen interviews in the past month and I've either gotten a no with no feedback as to why, or the recruiter just ghosts me completely. And it's not like the interviews aren't going well. Most of the time we end up having great conversations about tech and non-tech topics. I know there's no guarantees, I'm just a little beaten down.

Might be a little late to the game, but remembered Magic The Gathering Arena was a thing, and got it installed last night. Anyone else playing this?

Wow, just realized I hadn't been on in a while. SO. MUCH. STUFF. HAPPENED. Started a new job that I quit after a week.Moved my family halfway across the country, and am still in the interview process for a new job. Everything considered, things are actually going pretty well. :)

Good morning! Today's the last day at my old job. Starting a new one in about a week and a half. As much as I'll miss these people, I won't miss the company. 🙃

I'm not sick, I'm not sick, I'm not sick, I'm not sick, I'm not sick, I'm not sick, I'm not sick, I'm not sick, I'm not sick, I'm not sick, I'm not-.......Dammit....

Officially moving back to Dallas after a two year run in New York City. Still about two weeks out until I fly down and start a new job, then back up to New York to drive the wife, dog, and stuff down. We are SO much more prepared with getting things ready to move this time around, but there's still this small ball of anxiety in my chest.
