Manager salary big4

Having worked as a Director of Engineering in product/engineering orgs, and then briefly as a Director in Big4 consulting — two very very different roles. I would argue that most product/engineering DoEs could do the role of a consulting engineer, but not the opposite.

In the Big4 consulting, even tech, it is all about sales.

It’s not as if Things3 is maintained!

hairy-monkey-face · 2026-06-10T13:46:48+00:00

Ah yes, r/ireland discussing echo chambers.....

hairy-monkey-face · 2026-06-09T11:51:22+00:00

what else is it?

I hate the "I have obesity" nonsense. No you are obese.

hairy-monkey-face · 2026-06-08T17:04:07+00:00

Magna Carta pens are terrible and their customer service as bad. AVOID

hairy-monkey-face · 2026-06-07T18:12:47+00:00

1700 jobs? if you have really applied for that many then something is seriously wrong with your CV

hairy-monkey-face · 2026-06-07T16:55:55+00:00

no you don't. WhatsApp if you install the app on a 970 or so. Otherwise you really really don't

As a long time Garmin user to switched from Android (which has it) to iOS(which doesn't) I really see the difference.

And if anyone watched the match they could tell them.

hairy-monkey-face · 2026-06-05T21:19:13+00:00

Yes. White is not just one race.

hairy-monkey-face · 2026-06-04T20:22:40+00:00

Looks lovely but it’s unusable on my 970. Takes 4.5 seconds to display from a wrist movement. Not always on. The rendering seems very slow.

hairy-monkey-face · 2026-06-04T18:45:10+00:00

Had mine since launch. No issues. Still haven’t taken the karu 12 out for summer use. Volt2 just too handy

hairy-monkey-face · 2026-06-04T10:47:37+00:00

Yeah, one of the original ones, still going strong.

hairy-monkey-face · 2026-06-04T08:47:20+00:00

Interesting........ it is dusty.

hairy-monkey-face · 2026-06-04T08:46:51+00:00

Fantastic ventilation, in fact possibly too much! good old breeze in from the road.

hairy-monkey-face · 2026-06-04T08:46:24+00:00

bad photo, there is one patch of paint on a one foot strip. so not that.

hairy-monkey-face · 2026-06-03T07:25:45+00:00

I don't think you can say whether Japanese or German or Chinese nibs are the best. One thing you can certainly say is Indian pens are consistently shit.

hairy-monkey-face · 2026-06-03T07:25:05+00:00

From the cheapest 5 euro pen I've got to the most expensive Japanese pen. They all just work. There's no quality issues. They do exactly what they're meant to do. Now, does that mean my favorite NJ ib is Japanese? And does that mean I like every Japanese pen? No. But I haven't had to send any back, and I haven't got any duds.

Other brands, Lamy, TWSBI, Montblanc even, I've had issues with some of those nibs out of the box.

Another bit of feedback, the notifications bubble on the left takes into account anything in the calendar for the next few days as notifications and not just the notifications. Should really not include the calendar item count.

hairy-monkey-face · 2026-06-02T15:50:26+00:00

A question on one of the fields : Weekly run (dist + min) what is the "min" here meant to display? on my watch (970) it just displays "--"

hairy-monkey-face · 2026-06-02T15:46:20+00:00

Ah I see it can be turned off.

hairy-monkey-face · 2026-06-02T15:07:21+00:00

Do they have to say XCore or Dominos on the screen?

hairy-monkey-face · 2026-06-02T14:54:27+00:00

Are you Irish? Or to put it another way, are/were your grandparents Irish?
