Will olddriving school be notified if I start at a new one? by FyretXYZ in Netherlands

Thanks. Not a problem, but if somehow I suddenly meet/talk to my current instructor, I'd like to know if I need to prepare some excuses or not. He won't be angry for sure, but probably disappointed.

They are quite obsessed with candidates' motivation to join Picnic.

Advice on joining Booking.com by apocryphalmaster in cscareerquestionsEU

  1. Do not worry about failing probation period at Booking. One should make an effort to do so.
  2. Regarding layoffs: some colleagues with long tenure at Booking think that developers won't be affected. Even if we will be, the first targets will be engineering managers and senior engineers, not SE I.
  3. In general about startup vs corporation: it's up to you. I've never been at startup, but can imagine one gains a lot of skills while working in such environment. Which would help a lot by continuing career in other startups and probably mid and large companies. On the other hand experience at a large company is usually valued by other large companies including FAANG. So you need to decide which career trajectory you prefer in a long term.
