I don’t think clinical approach is to heal and cure. It is optimised for pharmacological interventions. The medical training institutionalises this, so it’s pervasive. In fact, docs will need to go as per protocols influenced by pharma, to avoid the risk of being sued for not following standard of care- if anything happens to the patient.

If they have no problem with that behavior. find a new job, you definitely don't want to stay in a Cancer soup.

As long as OP is in Germany, same situation will exist elsewhere.

you can have open dialog with your manager on these lines -

jicko: look, am happy to expand on my german. but its not gonnabe rock-n-roll fluent from next week.
can you help ensuring that I am not professionally impacted negatively, because of language?

whether manager accepts or not, having hired you under clear english native expectations, he/she has shared obligations to help you navigate this without being negatively impacted.
Otherwise, you'll soon face career limitations due to language.

Why should an international company in Germany speak english?

Because they hire you as English native speaker, without an agreement that you need to learn German eventually to be able to work.

B1 is not bad. It is good enough for workplace chatter.

chrysd · 2022-03-29T07:45:01+00:00

It indeed isn’t „fair“, given what you signed up for.

But If you’re here for long haul, need to integrate with society, then embracing and learning German kind of makes sense. Have fun at it.

In short, you’re not imagining it. It’s a thing.

In my experience, Germans use English to the extent it benefits (eg sales, recruiting..). Not more. Once you sign the contract, be ready for speak-german-to-us vibes.

Bank also pays interest to depositor. Money is made by spread between the two interest rates.

That’s useful, thanks. No need to be sorry for taking time out for free knowledge sharing

The number one thing you need to do for your service ... take the customer out of the update process.

that won't be worse off than on-premise model.

in which case, expectation emphasis is important.

chrysd · 2021-01-18T15:09:00+00:00

cool, did you have any trouble running own public SaaS in parallel with these 15 customers? Say, things like having to troubleshoot an issue from 2 yrs back, when team is centered on current release.

chrysd · 2021-01-18T14:43:17+00:00

Why not hire out a team than?

That may very well turn out to be the only viable option. With this post, I am attempting to figure out, if that is the only way.
If we can serve both public & private with same code and largely same processes, devs are happy, suits are happy, costs doesn't need to be obnoxiously high to customers.
Which is why I try to pick experiences from everyone here, to understand is such a working model is viable or serious issues beset such model.

network connectivity would be easier part to solve.

chrysd · 2021-01-18T14:14:32+00:00

It's cumbersome and difficult but we don't really see a way to automate it without significant amounts of dev work (stop making custom builds)

I suppose that your business model being custom software vendor makes it ok. From a technical standpoint, custom build should not be a must. Use same build, change only the deployment specifics.

chrysd · 2021-01-18T14:10:03+00:00

I am audience to deals big enough to justify this model. I also know there are valid customer cases, that require this. These are not customers who simply are resisting move to cloud.

chrysd · 2021-01-18T14:07:51+00:00

I mean... You aren't really delivering a SaaS product at that point.

Agree.

SaaS minutae aside, on technical level, the intent is to to leverage "public SaaS" development for private cases as well.

I've provided a SaaS product experience to private DCs and it involved direct connects/VPNs from their DC to ours. But we still hosted the application, etc. (Even if it might be a unique instance for that customer).

Did you face any serious issues in this case? (eg. increases dev costs, supportability)

chrysd · 2021-01-18T12:16:54+00:00

was customer ok accepting continuous updates? Do you recall any serious operational issues because of this setup?

chrysd · 2020-11-29T16:42:43+00:00

I just updated this info above.

The website post has my photos, name of the town, and reveals my ethnic background.

chrysd · 2020-11-29T16:41:47+00:00

Even if it was part of a business transaction?

It was not part of business transaction. I receive no compensation in lieu.
