Ha. Poo poo point is a good hike. No relevance but given the community, I said it.

A duel it is then. Finishes last of my wine

Anecdotal share here. I know very few hiring managers that expect candidates to fit 100%, heck 80% even, of a posting. Those that do aren’t ones I would ever want to work for.

I look for 3 things. And that’s not a hard and fast rule or anything. Aptitude, motivation and culture fit. I also look to my peers and larger team for their thoughts along these points.

People (pleasantly) surprise you. My last best hire (I moved to away from direct line management in my new gig) was working at their local Walmart for a year after a tough layoff from a pre sales role. I thought I would get more push back but everyone including my then boss, were like yeah! They just needs another opportunity.

And for what it’s worth, they were a great culture fit and figured the rest out along the way.

Yeah my corpo laptop actually came with it. It’s standard on all our renewed devices now. I was pleasantly surprised. Apparently the CTO deemed it so.

No no please. Continue.

Whoa. Can we go deeper?

Did not know this. Thanks!!

I’m not OP but I have FTO. Unlimited vacation time. And I’ll have taken about 8 weeks of vacation by end of this year. Living and working in the US currently.

I ran into this T-shirt at a con recently.

One day I’ll learn not to read the YouTube comment section beyond maybe the first one.

That took Guts to admit

To shreds you say?
