Hey, what are the most painful limitations/gotchas you're hitting? I'm on this team and would like to hear about painpoints.

I was in Varick too! great memories of that place, it certainly felt like they were onto something back then.

Matches my experience, for the first step I was given a lengthy questionare and told it would be about 12 pages of answers. Nope'd out immediately.

It's a shame because the product and my Hiring Manager seemed great, I'm curious what candidates make it through.

@OP, I'm an EM at "frugal", ldap is hcliff if you want to chat.

I'm assuming OP is L5, which does require "people influencing", although no formal leadership and or TL role is required. You can stay at this level indefinitely.

OP, is your manager ok with your current performance? Is your EM trying to grow you for promo or into the full level reqs? You should seek clarity here and if the former set boundaries/expectations as per the parent comment.

> But now I'm struggling to find motivation to do my work Is this recent? I'm seeing this quite a bit with the current job insecurity and turmoil at the company. As other comments have advocated: therapy and consider extended leave or a team switch. FWIW I don't think lower stakes work is going to fix your motivation, something you care about may.

the user you're replying to has delightful previous comments such as "the US media is controlled by people eligible for Israeli citizenship" which is more dog-foghorn than dog-whistle

Not a question, but I just want to thank you for "inventing" review apps back in the day, the idea of having a full version of your app running for a branch was pretty game changing for the companies I worked at.

You should revisit this, in the last couple of years this has moved quite a bit, I'd say it's closer to 70-75 now. Obviously you'll get more in the states (or even frankfurt!), but it's changing rapidly.

There's also some offers in berlin for meaningfully higher, I'm just taking a ballpark average for senior.

I lived off Schönleinstraße and can attest to this. I heard it was due to a crackdown in Hermanplatz pushing people one stop over?

it looks like it also lets you check memory stats and event listener counts

This can't be right, nowhere near enough dependencies

Really nice! Very simply and clean. Integration with an invoicing system would be a great win.
