I walk into the office of the VP of Business Development, interviewing for a role to lead their ecommerce team. And I sit down and notice a fidget spinner, a couple of fidget cubes and a scrambled Rubik's cube on his desk. As we are sitting down I casually ask if he's into puzzles, he says no, he spends a lot of time of the phone and is always looking to do something with his hands.

Anyway, 10 minutes later, his cell phone rings, presumably a family member, as he looks concerned and very politely asks if he can step out to take it, in case its an emergency. I say, "of course" and I'm just sitting there with nothing to do but stare at the wall.

I didn't want to take out my phone, so I grab the cube and start solving it.

He steps back into the office thanking me just as I'm putting his solved cube back on his desk.

Not the main reason, but I did get offered the job.

Really interesting problem. I'd love to chat more. But there's no open postitions on your breezyhr link.

In my experience, it's more important to educate non-technical colleagues about your product and software development processes. Understanding pull requests or redis don't matter as much, and can be picked up along the way.

I've gifted The Mythical Man Month (Brooks) and Inspired: How to Create Tech Products Customers Love (Cagan) to colleagues and have received great feedback.

Personally, I had never used the term attribution model until I worked at an ecommerce company and didn't have a good reason to understand the details of churn until working with a SAAS business. Any reasonably smart person can pick up these domain specific understandings as they go.

If you are an engineer introvert like myself that is hesitant to post your info here, I run a anonymous, private job matching service for people not looking for jobs: hirewhen.com

[email protected] with the same info you'd post here. Or just say hi.

In chrome, when trying to access http://hirewhen.com

    This site can’t be reached
    
    hirewhen.com’s server DNS address could not be found.

Same story when trying to resolve the domain in the console

    $ host hirewhen.com
    ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

EDIT: Looks like it's an issue when coupled with Google's public DNS servers

    $ host hirewhen.com 8.8.8.8
    Using domain server:
    Name: 8.8.8.8
    Address: 8.8.8.8#53
    Aliases:
    Host hirewhen.com not found: 2(SERVFAIL)

ISP DNS servers work fine.

That's really weird, thanks for helping to debug.

Same for me.

works for me.

Really? That's bizarre. Sorry about that.

Cool idea. I think it be beneficial to be able to see what it does without having to watch the video.

Like a "Turn This" => "Into This" with a simple pre-render example ad. It's ultimately a visual medium, and there's more of an "aha" moment when I can quickly see "oh wow, it generated a twitter card, instagram square and adwords vertical rectangle" on first view.

Thanks, good feedback. I'll definitely make sure to do something like this. This is just an alpha version to test it for real users.

There are a lot of red flags in your description. This doesn't sound like an ideal first development job for a few reasons. Most importantly, focus on finding a position where you can learn more software engineering practices from great mentors.

Questions to ask yourself: What are your personal career goals? How would taking this job serve them?

Maybe a dumb (american) question, but in the UK, what is the average / minimum length of these day rate contracts?

Most will be three months initially with an extension where required. Obviously there's shorter ones available too, but 3 months seems to be the most commonly quoted initial length.

Yeah. Three months is usually the minimum for a contract. 6 months is more common in my experience. And then there is the chance of renewals on top.

Usually 3 to 6 months (unless you specifically go for a horrible couple week contract) and every contract I've worked has rolled on or been extended.

Have you had any issues with IR35 with regard to long-term contracts?

Never, ever, ever nor has any contractor I have ever worked with. Saying that the longest contract I've worked was 1 1/2 years.

IMHO the IR35 stuff you see is just companies trying to sell you advice and consultation and build a market around it.
