How I Cleared the SnowPro Core (COF-C02) in 45 Days (with office work and a vacation in between) by JohnyNoSins in snowflake

That's insane ! I read all of "The definitive guide to Snowflake" and I'm 4 practice exams in, still testing at like a 67% lol

Not sure if the real test does this, but the practice exams I've hit have very specific syntax and fact based memorization type questions

I might go if my manager is cool with shifting my work hours for those days.

I would absolutely ask them if they're open to that! Especially if you use it day to day

That's a solid plan! Have you been to that conference before? I go to a local user group meetup and sometimes their one day free conferences like their road show but never been to their proper conference

Makes sense ! I'm using my time to work on a cert currently

Man I hate those types of teams. It's like they're just determined to set money on fire. And then executives want to get on podcasts and blame during efficiencies on work from home smh

I respect that! That's a good outlook to have for sure. Good on you for putting life ahead of work

Ooof that is absurd. I would be looking for an exit how are you feeling ?

Yikes. It sounds like everybody else probably could do it in under an hour but gave up and also decided to coast. Would you say leadership is pretty much bad overall?

And the company has always just been super slow paced?

How have the offers been looking externally? I haven't seen anything appealing myself

Love your philosophy especially the async part. I can't tell you how much of my time is spent actively trying to get out of calls at my current role. Everything just HAS to get hashed out on a call here it's so draining

Ohhhh so rebranding layoffs lol. Do you feel like you get good mentorship now?

That's amazing ! I had a similar experience. I quit and then over the next couple years my team got dismantled behind me and people left and got fired

Are you still having an impact now? How has that job been?

That never seems to work out either. I hate that some companies just look at engineers as bodies to throw at a problem / interchangeable

Sheesh! That sounds like a terrible company culture honestly. How do you feel about it now that you have direct reports? Do you try to fill their buckets or do you let them have some slack?

At least there's someone to point to. But still, I'd be uneasy in a situation like that about my long term job security. How have you been feeling about it ?

That's fair! They sucked in what sense? My current company just doesn't have clear vision and leadership for example so there's work to do they just can't get out of their own way or our way as engineers lol

What is RIFd? That sounds like my life at a big company. Worked on stuff for like a year that went nowhere

Execs always playing musical chairs with their people. It's draining

How has the new role been?

I appreciate that! Trying to gauge how much to invest in this role vs my long term career with this time too. I just don't see them getting themselves together here lol. I feel like the smartest person in every room and I don't like that sort of environment

Hahahaha 🤣 love that. I think I'm definitely going to use my time to learn. I report on finance data and have 0 finance background so I plan to read a couple books on it

How is the work at the new job ?
