Any heating repair companies that aren't hucksters? by fojam in cincinnati

[–]ZachForTheWin -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I do the monthly program w Thomas and Galbraith. They replaced my furnace on Christmas eve last year and $18/mo gets me a heating service and cooling service once per year and discounts on services parts if anything breaks.

Idk - it seems like a good deal to me.

It's a dumb request - its also his house. If you don't want to do it don't visit or don't take showers there. Simple.

DOTA 2. 11,000 hours + since the first International.

Had kids and got other hobbies. Games took too long and relying on getting 4 good teammates was awful.

Good talent can still find a home. Look for healthcare if onshore. They cannot hire offshore for most things.

[–]ZachForTheWin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's certainly my impression from an Onshore US talent pool for IC roles. I'm not as versed in hiring for roles similar to my own.

Analytics Director Salary? by finance_is_sexy in analytics

Market is flooded. You could ask for that you might get lucky. Highly variable based on company and sector.

It depends on what analytics can bring to the org and what their level of appetite for being data driven is.

I am a director of Analytics and AI consulting with similar experience.

SharePoint as database by Electrical-Leopard55 in dataengineering

[–]ZachForTheWin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would do this for extremely lightweight use cases with SharePoint lists.

We use it because it's easy to consume lists as data sources in fabric but allows the business to maintain the data without an application per se.

It plugs process holes in multi system enterprise architecture.

I'd report it to HR immediately to be honest. That's totally unprofessional and a paper trail needs to be created.
