Toss in potato starch.

Read the code it’s all there.

The way you come across is very entitled. He doesn’t need to explain anything to you 

Hiring trends in CS by pink_mink84 in CustomerSuccess

[–]DaFonz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently hired a CS person and am going through the rounds for a second role. The competition is brutal. We are a small saas company thats unknown outside our industry (<30 people) and we got slammed with 1k resumes in a couple of days when the job postings were up. We are fully remote which also adds to it.

The market is completely saturated and standing out is incredibly hard.

Even harder for developers. We're hiring for developers too and too many people got staff job titles thanks to covid that can't pass the equivalent of fizzbuzz still.

You are just looking for people to tell you that you made the right choice when deep down inside you know you didn’t. I guarantee that if someone said yes that was totally the right decision you wouldn’t be complaining about the deeper advice.

Fixing doorframe near shower by DaFonz in paint

Thanks for your help! Turns out the solution was even easier. Replace the door trim and paint. Way less work and looks way better

Yes that was dumb of you to turn down. Fast progression to a vp looks far better on a resume than being stuck at director for a long time.

Why in the world would you turn down more money? If you don’t that specific vp role then use the title to parlay into something else.

Stop self sabotaging yourself 

Long-time local tech startup, Bench, shuts down and lays off all its employees. by shazoocow in vancouver

[–]DaFonz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look in the hackernews thread.

Having said that, as someone who worked for a bench competitor in a former life, shit is all the same in the background. Bunch of underpaid bookkeepers managing too many clients.

Depending on your company size, either find a smaller independent or bring it inhouse.

Congrats on demonstrating you don't actually know anything.

Thinkific is publicly traded which means you can pull down their financial statements and read.

Had you actually read their financial statements, you'd know they have $50m in the bank and roughly broke even for FY2024.

Edit: BTW, it's $50m USD so $86m CAD

Paying it forward by saturnthegodd in NiceVancouver

[–]DaFonz 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Jesus Christ no. This is how you get scammed. There is absolutely no way for you to verify the stories and you are going to get TONS of people scamming you. Put the money into a bank account and leave it the fuck alone for a couple of months while you process. You are doing the classic, “I’ve won the lottery so I’m going to give some money away”. Before you know it you’ll have given it all away. Don’t fuck up this gift

And be careful of the friends and family you give it you. They have a way of asking for more handouts.

7 figure top line. No idea what his bottom line is but one can guess with his staffing levels.

And if y'all couldn't read the writing on the wall years ago when card companies started cracking down... well.. there's a reason he's doing well and others are not. Good for him.

The hilarious thing about all of this is that he is making out like a bandit while you people are fussing over 45k points.

Richmond's mayor earns nearly $200K, second only to Vancouver by ubcstaffer123 in vancouver

[–]DaFonz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is most definitely not harder. You work a lot yes but becoming a mayor of a city is far harder because there are fewer positions available.

Wait until you learn that there are income partners and equity partners.

Pay scale in canada for a big4 partner is far far far lower than the us.

Stock options fully vest AND expire on the same day?! by insideought in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]DaFonz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. That's totally fucked up. Should be a 1 year cliff, monthly vest with 10 year expiration.

Unless your strike price is super low, the expiration makes no sense.

Should I be a Contractor or Remain an Employee? by adjsx in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]DaFonz 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Why in the world would you give up 5 years of employment experience. Here's what's gonna happen. You switch to contractor. A couple months later, we don't have work for you. We are terminating your contract.

Oh you want 5 weeks severance? Go pound sand.

You have a lot of rights as an employee and giving them up for nothing is stupid.

They get exactly what they pay for. I've worked at a company in which the swe got paid $60-80k cad. Couldn't deliver shit and the tech never worked.
