The newsletter is much better than the posted article. It's a detailed critique and discusses alternatives. Efinancialcareers posts a lot of low effort blog posts.

It's not just extras. Jet Li turned down The Matrix Reloaded because they were requiring that he also sell the rights to the martial arts moves used.

> Nowadays, it's obvious to me that it's my responsibility to make it easy for them to see that I am good. That's what practice is - it's you working on your ability to articulate your fit for the role

I second that. As an interviewer it's much easier to pass someone if they directly articulate how they meet the question rubrik. For coding interviews that can mean explicitly communicating a methodical approach and covering edge cases. For behavioral that can mean clearly communicating a situation and it's impact. This does take practice.

Is Netflix really that bad? They aggressively state they quickly fire people. But I've also seen reports that their turnover rate is low, and they don't have a PIP culture. It looks to me like people are reasonably happy there for the most part.

Personally I'd really like to use that screen with google maps.

I'm not familiar with the rules. But if you train AI on customer data you might end up with something that looks like front-running.

Manufacturers and retailers will also change models for sales. Black Friday sales are sometimes cheaper, lower quality versions. Discount clothing retailers sometimes get items made specifically for them. And that's ignoring bad QA. Patagonia just filed a lawsuit against Nordstrom Rack for selling counterfeit clothing.

And telling IT to support a new operating system company wide could be an expensive decision.

I'm at a FAANG adjacent company and we do hire older ICs. Though I wouldn't want to be interviewing right now. Senior level interviews can be demanding, and junior positions hard to find.

It's crappy answer to age discrimination, but people pivoting can leave less relevant experience off of resumes. I've done that.

It could make sense. I'm assuming they will be doing actual work during that time. A paid 12 month long apprenticeship would be good for both parties. It's enough time for Meta to decide if they want to hire an employee full time, and a year would give sourcers a decent amount of experience if they wanted to leave.

Access control isn't great if an engineer was able to transfer vaults to a personal plex server.
