@bdbevangelist @YogaPantsRec Sounds like you're just not good at hiring experienced people and good at training junior folks

@bdbevangelist @YogaPantsRec Would you want a surgeon who's not qualified, but has a lot of potential?
How about a pilot?

@n_wittensleger Suuure, we'll hire you without a degree, as long as you're coming from a founding eng role at a shit hot startup and will take a low-ball offer

@cheddar420yolo Absolutely wild to me that this is the situation in western europe while in Ukraine every other house has AC

@Alexfeinberg Taking a counter offer and staying is a dumbass move 98% of the time.
In this market doing "price discovery" gets your new offer yanked unless you're top 5% and have multiple offers on hand

@cheddar420yolo @randomrecruiter Every day battle here, performanceanxietymaxxing is a double edged sword

@Aikun011 @usr_bin_roygbiv @_Psychonautilus To me calling a maintenance guy sounds like a fucking nightmare. I'll have it fixed before the guy would've gotten here and have the benefit of knowing it wasn't hack job
Ppl these days got soft hands

@PennMaxxing From a recruiter perspective, TC is your cash+bonus+RSUs(ISOs don't really count, monopoly $)

@GergelyOrosz As an agency recruiter, this is endemic.
Hiring manager: help me, I need an AI leader, they have to have deployed AI.
Me: ok, that's like the top 10% of the talent pool what's the comp
HM: HR set it at 50-60 th percentile of the range
Me: good luck

@alexpotato @blumenfeld Reading about magazine account exec lifestyles in the 80s-90s feels like someone deliberately wrote it to spite Zoomers 😂

@jconnorholliman @Kimcurrier Pretty much any corporate counsel will tell you to not provide feedback b/c people sued over interview feedback and won. Can't have nice things

@blueprintsmb22 @ShinskySam @henryF015 This sounds like ADHD testing lmao

@aylacroft @GraySwanAI An easy vibe check is check the profile's age - most fakes are recent & don't line up with the alleged profile timeline.

@sherrod_im @NataliaHEmanuel @nytimes "remote work is bad for your mental health if you don't have friends and family"
might it be that it's not the remote work but the lack of friends & family that's the driving factor here?

[Romper Stopmer @RStopmer]

@tlakomy Just like building a new house is easier than renovating a 100 year old one

[Romper Stopmer @RStopmer]

@Demo4fhs No, because tragedy of the commons- too many took advantage of remote flex to fuck around and ruined it for everyone

[Romper Stopmer @RStopmer]

@CyberQueenMara @DecryptedTech Dm me!

[Romper Stopmer @RStopmer]

@ImLunaHey Low risk tolerance of hiring teams b/c headcount is tight and the wrong hire will 1)add to existing team burnout 2) may not get a replacement 3)will be blamed on HM.
"How was I supposed to know they'd suck, all of you also interviewed them and gave the green light"

[Romper Stopmer @RStopmer]

@CyberQueenMara @DecryptedTech For cyber roles? What specialties?
Odd b/c I'm a recruiter and hiring managers love a marine b/c high gumption - corporate work is a humiliation ritual. Just gotta be polished and not say marine ass shit in the interviews 😂
