In the city I'm living in (Italy) buildings are old (and with 2 ft stone walls, on average) so that mobile phones can only rely on wifi when you are indoors. I think this may apply to any old (like several centuries old) city. I don't know if cities of this kind are enough to make a statistically relevant case.

(Europe / Tech)

1. HR is not tech-savy and most of the time does look for distinguished engineers at the price of an intern

2. Salary is always on the low side, and salary range is almost never included in the job posting

3. Companies are not considering their employees an asset, but a liability

I totally agree

In Italy it might be possible, food is quite cheap here. Usually the "lunch voucher" we get as employees is 5,16 EUR

I have, multiple times but in the same company so let’s count as one. VBA is still a thing in banking/insurance and big consulting players are still selling VBA projects and/or XLLs in this world

Don't forget the mighty spreadsheets, the only software deemed as useful in finance :)

I'm not willing to enforce one commit per issue, but one issue per commit. An issue may have, of course, multiple commits (by multiple people maybe) but I wouldn't allow any single commit without referring an issue.

I totally clicked on the title because I thought the thread was about whiteboard interviews (aka BS for someone)

Let's be frank, if salary figures are missing a job listing will always be red after those with a salary range.

Then the description of tech stack and responsibilities.

The company I work for has been acquired by the same equity firm as Idera. This happened recently (it's public news, so I'm not giving away any secret). What should I expect, given I have a responsibility role and in my country you can't easily fire an employee (in my case, I can be fired only if I misbehave severely or the company goes bankrupt)?

To me this is a big "no" because I'm not in such position to negotiate a deal with another company. All I can do is send proposals to our administration with a clearly stated fixed or recurring price, that's a pity but I know it's how the business works - and it works very well too.
