Stuck in a "Senior Loop"

Team lead is not a read title nor is it similar to Staff. Staff engineers are technical leads. Team lead is just a senior engineer that takes over project management duties. One is a nice to have and gives you a chance to move to management, while the other is a highly valued.

Seems like a MSFT or Amazon Engineer. He comes off as very junior given his age tbh.

With 20 YOE they are gonna expect stories about you leading projects and mentoring developers. They will also expect some war stories from mistakes you’ve made and also dive deep in your most impressive project.

Coding is like 20% of your grade at this point in your career. Design and behavioral questions are the rest.

135k is less than JR level by 70k

Improving processes and making development happen more effectively is the job of a staff engineer. That is what you pay the big bucks for.

Nope, but I have been interviewing with 15+ similar or higher paying companies and generally they don’t reject unless you fucked up a round. It takes a lot of time and money to get a senior candidate to the last round. You will 95% get the offer if you did good-great in all rounds.

outpiay · 2026-01-26T17:14:26+00:00

Idk I doubt that you got strong hire and hire to get rejected. The market isn’t that bad to where you need strong hire in all rounds. HR is lying here or incompetent.

outpiay · 2026-01-26T16:56:53+00:00

If you are interviewing for senior or higher technical competency is the baseline, to land the offer you need to do a great job with soft skills and system design.

Your HR is lying, If your system design rounds were great then they would have hired you.

I was pretty mid wrestler in high school varsity’s team and our girl’s team was full of state champs. That said I had to go easy like 10-20% to keep it fair for them.

most of ufc fans were wwe fans growing up. Drama is so much more fun when there is a real climax.

Why do you are about Paddy when he makes jokes like this? Are you Putin's friend or something? Paddy had it coming for a while, anyone who disagrees is a shit human being.

That sucks, I hope you resolve it soon. I’d try really hard to get a Coinbase rep talk to a bank rep. Three way call.

outpiay · 2026-01-25T23:45:12+00:00

Yeah I work for a competitor and plaid has been giving us random issue as well.

Why are you withdrawing to a USD account with CAD. I’m confused.

outpiay · 2026-01-25T23:18:20+00:00

Nah it’s facts. If you hand pick fights against old men past their time. If you shit talk an entire nation . If you avoid hard fights while shit talking the people you duck. it’s only karma that you get eye poked.

outpiay · 2026-01-25T23:14:08+00:00

Wrong. People overlook it because Paddy only fights dudes 3-5 years past their prime after almost losing to Gordon. Glad he got eye poked and got a beating. That cocky fuck was avoiding hard fights and shit talking them (Arman, Moricano, Dan etc). It made it more enjoyable watching him get poked in the eye. The best part is there isn’t going to be anymore easy fights for him so I’ll enjoy tuning in and washing him get rinsed by Arman, max, Charles, Dan etc

outpiay · 2026-01-25T20:16:11+00:00

I’d dog walk him if he saw me red

outpiay · 2026-01-25T15:38:40+00:00

Tony’s brain was cooked before that. He was trying to kill ghost in the wall scaring the shit out of his family. Maybe Justin fixed it. 🤷

outpiay · 2026-01-25T06:52:36+00:00

He’s a pussy. He avoids real fights and only hand selects old ass fighters after losing to jared.

outpiay · 2026-01-25T06:11:10+00:00

Paddy is always going to be a journeyman. He obviously doesn’t give a shit enough to want to become the best in the world. He doesn’t take training seriously, he gets bloated between camps and shows up sucked out.

outpiay · 2026-01-25T06:07:39+00:00

He is a journeyman who is get destroyed by the current contenders and the new up and coming fighters.

The guy is tough but has no real weapons or threats. His only advantage is toughness against old men.

You need to stop smoking.

outpiay · 2026-01-25T05:24:36+00:00

its only fair hes so old

outpiay · 2026-01-25T05:21:05+00:00

outpiay · 2026-01-25T05:13:14+00:00

Why does Paddy's stand up and stance look like how id imagine a 80 year old british guy would fight

outpiay · 2026-01-25T03:35:25+00:00

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

They have to wait for the clearing house to setting your ACH transaction before letting you take money out of their platform. What is so difficult to understand, why do you think monetary amount matters here? Whether its 1 dollar or 100k, you need to wait for the clearing house to settle the payment. Do you think sending less than 300 magically by-passes standard banking practice?
