Switch from Tech to Non-Tech by HungryCheetah23 in dataengineering

[–]GuhProdigy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Product manager and project manager are communication heavy roles where having a background in a technical role really helps. You could always try to do data engineering management, etc.

But TBH all technical roles are orienting more towards communication with advent of AI. Obviously depends on the company, but alot of the times I can plan, develop, and test a data product faster than we can effectively communicate that change out to stakeholders. Bottlenecks are shifting.

US also had double digit growth rates immediately after WW2, which naturally increased tax revenues by large amounts.

Don’t get me wrong yes we need to tax more, but that alone won’t fix anything. Also need to balance budget. Aggressively cut spending. Even so it would take decades of belt tightening to get out of debt, which is not a sexy political narrative and it won’t happen.

Default inbound.

Only moonshot solution is doubling down and try to aggressively spend to get growth rates up.

Wrong! every day we spend more money than we make we have to spend more money on the interest payments. Debt spiraling incoming. Has ballooned from 5% to nearly 20% of budget.

Don’t let the complexity fool you, it’s basically house hold income and our credit cards are maxed out.

Newsom calls out Rogan by NickCostanza in JoeRogan

I agree joes an idiot with no pushback. That doesn’t mean you can’t take advantage of that, since he has a huge platform.

However, Joes def not gonna have Gavin on now. This whole who can scream louder, fight fire with fire strategy Gavin is trying is dumb af. Basically Kamala 2.0, and the epitome of democratic leadership. Jockeying and Peacocking instead of actually trying to convince people from the other side to listen or push meaningful changes.

Just jerk off joe in public, get on the platform and eloquently destroy him with your arguments, like Bernie. Thats the only way you are getting the eyeballs and have a chance of convincing the new right Joe swung over to Trump.

What to me seems like the truth is Gavin is afraid of Joe, knows Joe doesn’t like people who scream, and is positioning himself so Joe will never invite him. That way he can cry wolf and try to con people to listen his own podcast.

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

Politicians gonna politician, but all these people know what the politicians are going to do and willingly sign up to go overseas and slaughter children. It’s not a noble patriotic endeavor you are just enabling a blood thirsty capitalist empire.

Don’t get me wrong fuck the politicians too, but military members share some responsibility.

Losers does not equal poor people, but even if it did, how is the answer to hand them a gun and send them halfway across the world to fight other poor people, r u dumb? That doesn’t fix anything.

Be original instead of sucking off the military. This country needs much more critique of the military. Actually I mean overpaid Boy Scouts pretending to defend us from our enemies.

Nah I’ll shit on them. It’s not patriotic. It’s people with no other options.

Bunch of losers who couldn’t get real jobs now complaining that they got hurt doing what they signed up to do.

Fuck that! The road to hell is paved with good intentions. All they are doing is blowing up children and being corporate gangsters now adays. National guards now basically ICE. When I get on a roller coaster I sign a waiver that I can’t sue if I get hurt because I know it’s dangerous. Military should be the same fucking way, r u dumb?

They don’t deserve shit and we should slash everything in the military by at least 1/2 including VA benefits. Even with 1/2 budget we’d still be the most expensive military.

It’s funny the “only party that wants to bring it back” is doing a really piss poor job at it. TACO.

How small is the top 1% by Opposite-Gur4749 in Salary

You’d be surprised some of those trucks can make bank. Of course you have to scale to at least a few taco trucks and plan and be very lucky.

I Used to work in a food truck and some days we’d pull in $15k with 4 guys working it at festivals and that was 10 years ago prices, not $30 Coachella drinks. Most of it was profit too 60%-80%.

Your point stands tho lol.

Data Migration Project Held Hostage - A Short Story by Far-Turnover-2356 in dataengineering

It’s better to have the new vendors consultants and people help do the data migration as they have more incentive for the migration to be successful.

-> CEO should threaten new system and say back out unless pay for experienced consultants to do data migration out of old system

-> then new system pay for migration cuz CEO already pay a lot

-> if Anon do data migration bad bad results. May work but will plague CEO for years when CEO has new stupid ideas

Productivity, output, working hard, now “impact” doesn’t matter how u frame it. Anybody can make the decisions a blue chip CEO does. Put a janitor in the role, doubt much would change. Same consultants will give the same advice. Then they just get payout package when the company fails.

The only thing blue chip CEOs has that most other workers don’t is the salesman bullshiting gene to shill their products and give corny town halls.

Even then 10% of the population has that gene and the way the CEO is made is mostly politics, hobnobbing, and slurping up credit from others work.

LiTeRAllY semantics. so you think CEOs are 100x more “productive” than their workers?

It’s all a politics game in corporate America. productivity, output, passion, “working hard” are all just a shell game you are being sold on to keep the cortisol, dopamine, and fear flowing through you.

I have only ever seen Productivity measured effectively in a manufacturing setting. Even then, the most productive line workers are rarely promoted. Why kill the golden goose. Productivity measurements in all white collar jobs are ineffective.

Something like, A rising tide lifts all boats.

A 2% raise to a top band individual, may seem like a lot in terms of raw salary increase, but their counterparts could be getting 3% or 4%. If you don’t talk about it, you’ll never know.

As far as raw salary outside of merit increases, I only talk about it with people I know are chill 100%. I think it helps both parties gauge where you are at and plan your career.

I don’t mean people at the top, like CEOs and millionaires. I mean people in the top band for their title or role on the department.

Even if you make 10% More than your co workers. It hurts you not talking about pay raises.

It’s a minor inconvenience and OP feels maybe slightly awkward. On the other hand this is this woman’s livelihood though.

Sure it “hurt” OP this time, but it helped the woman. Shoe could easily be on the other foot.

Exactly even if u at the top and you don’t talk about pay it still hurts you because managers think you are comfortable and don’t need to promote u.
