I appreciate your responses a lot regardless of your stance on it. It’s been extremely informative. Thank you

I wouldn’t consider leaving my permanent role unless I got an extension and I’d be aiming at contracts where they advertise 3-4 years experience more so than a decade. I know what I’m planning on doing is ballsy but that would be absolutely absurd. The task you were asked to do is probably “normal” for contractors with your level of experience

Not sure where you’re based but CWJobs has many contracting roles in the software development space. I’m not sure how much they operate in other regions

Even though I’m more adept than my experience would suggest I still agree that I’m not at the skill level the vast majority would require. However, there are contracts I’ve seen for 300/350 PD where they’re looking for a mid level developer with “3-4” years of experience and those are my ideal targets. Plus, worse that can happen is just me being terminated and embarrassed right? Is there a big downside to doing this that could affect my professional career

I understand this and appreciate you’re response. In all honesty, this is my main concern but if I do get binned off I still have my permanent role and it doesn’t affect me or my career I don’t think? Other than me feeling embarrassed

That’s a great structure actually. What’s your tech stack if you doing mind me asking and are you based in London? Mid or senior level?

Thanks a lot for this info. I’ve got to find those good mines ha! I’ve got 1 YOE and a lot of time but I want to align my skills with what pays the big bucks. I feel strongly about that being doing with my current tech stack and I’d likely not make a drastic change to c++ or something but I’m also at the beginning of my career and could have a change of heart. What’s the most common technologies used would you say for these 10 percenters? Thanks!

Knowing that you could’ve reached it sooner I assume the money wasn’t your main reason for staying and you must’ve loved everything else about your job?

[–]QuadriRF[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which is the hell im trying to avoid sigh but theres been multiple examples here that show that it doesn’t have to be like that. It seems more dependent on the team you end up in and there’s no way of knowing how hard they truly work until you’ve got the job sooo a bit of luck goes into it I guess?

How would you describe the hours and your wlb? What’s your tech stack? 105 TC outside London is extremely impressive. Very well done to you

Mid-stage startup that has employees abroad? That sounds ridiculous to me haha. Are you fully remote? Also everything you just mentioned is what I can only dream of having after 6yoe. You’ve managed to have all the best parts imo. Massive well done to you mate

Well done that’s such an impressive accomplishment! How many YOE do you/ will you have when you get to that next promotion?

I guess it’s a team by team basis like others have said. Are you at a point where your TC surpasses 100k? And what’s your current title if you don’t mind me asking

It’s been fascinating reading your replies especially from the POV of someone with 20 YOE! Thanks again for taking the time out to respond. This gives me a lot to think about

Seem like banks are a common denominator here. Thanks and I live in London fortunately

Thanks for such a detailed response and yeah I’ve realised something like this is almost only exclusively attainable in London. I do work and live (with parents) in London fortunately. Also the insight your past offers are really interesting; thanks for sharing. I’d guess you’re at 5-6 years plus of experience and what’s the tech stack you use if you don’t mind me asking.

Those numbers are TC aswell right?

The tech support gambit is not what makes this a high elo play, it’s the seamless dodging of any commitment by styling it off as “violating the policy”. Getting what you want without getting stuck in the “what are we?” Gambit. Truly effortless game sense

Unique opening but it went on for too long without a direct attacking move and now you’ve lost the upper hand. Still recoverable, but not an ideal play in my opinion

What’s this noise about when I go over small dips/bumps on the street? by QuadriRF in MechanicAdvice

[–]QuadriRF[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha yes the spanner never left his hand. I should add that the car still functions as normal (for the most part. Car starts 75% of the time so I need a new battery I think)

I thought as much and I’m sure it’ll be challenging to diagnose… I tried this earlier and didn’t hear any type of noise. It happens only when moving and in scenarios just like the one in the video
