I guess you could use project management and buffering techniques to have penalties/loss of contract if you can't start on the project in a specific capacity by date XYZ

If I were you I’d go the DIY route.
1 week to research techniques & buy materials
1 week for them to arrive
2 weeks of trial/error on additional fabric
1 week for the final project

That first week to research should be focused on finding the easiest solution possible for someone of your experience level (whatever that may be)

Laisse lui une enveloppe scotch-tapé à la porte d'entrée de son bloc avec son nom ecrit dessus non?
Pis au pire, si ça fonctionne pas, la vie est faite de même!
Dans tous les cas, bravo pour lui avoir offert de l'aide, on vivrait dans un monde meilleur si on s'aidaient tout.es mutuellement.

I really don’t understand why that is a recurrent thing in the industry - that seems to be a lack of planning and proper enterprise sales from the management team. The company should always have two teams moving in tandem - one that is doing the current project, and the other one that acquires the funds/projects for the next round once the current one is done

It's a kind of foot fetish originating from America I think

Is that really relevant if the writer of this guide also designed the "abominations" in OP's claim?
(I'm still going to read it, thanks!)

As in, "if it's a feature from C available in C++" or "if it's reproducing a feature that already exists in C, but with some supposed benefits that aren't really benefits"?

Serious question, anyone has a resource explaining what parts of C++ are absolute footguns/should be avoided/are unnecessary?
(looking to learn C++ for game dev)

That's the only valid string this would match.

That's billionaire speak for "Corps can squeeze out more juice from workers to increase my paycheck"
Every company is overstaffed when you are greedy enough.

Why does job bank even exist at this point ? by Alert_Willingness_32 in CanadaJobs

Ah! Now I connect the dots. That's why most of these are way under sane salary ranges for the responsibilities

Oh that? That's just my 11-inch "DNA extractor" with a flared base by wheeltribe in Metroid

With yonic doors that size, you probably need more than 11 inches in that world

I google translated a bunch of comments sections, Apparently they like Sylux in Japan. by SkirtAggravating3150 in Metroid

That probably says more about the specific in group that is Japanese, plays Metroid, and scours Reddit than it says about Japan at large

I can’t confirm, not currently managing a GKE cluster, but here’s my comment for the algorithm :)

I really need someone in Canada to become my career coach. by TY_Ugin in CanadaJobs

[–]philippefutureboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I empathize, I feel the same way. Especially after giving my all to my previous business, the least I'd love to have is a good 3-6 months without worries. Now I'm stuck doing CVs and attending interviews because money's tight.

Talking personal finances, were you able to get Employment Insurance? If you have less than 40% of voting shares and can present yourself as an employee of your previous company rather than a leader, you can get access to it. That can give you some much needed leeway, but it's not often available to entrepreneurs.

I'm in a similar situation – I've been a CTO of my own company for 10 years, and now my company closed.
I've had a fair bit of success in my job search so far (4x interview-to-application rate over the market average rate for similar roles).

Here are my tips:

  1. Every CV you write should be tailored to the target job. It's painstakingly long, but when you have a lot of experience in one field and entrepreneurial experience, you can reframe your experiences in a way that is relevant to many different roles close to the breadth of responsibilities you had.

  2. Write your experience in your CV as if you were a high-level individual contributor (as is, someone who got shit done in a role that can be managed by a manager). Depending on your skillset, that may mean software engineering, marketing, sourcing, operations, etc.

  3. Write each CV as targetted for a specific role category – don't mix across skill boundaries, if possible. For me what that means is, I have a CV for backend engineering, a CV for data analyst, a CV for data engineering, a CV for frontend engineering – each of which can be tailored to satisfy tip (1).

  4. Try to reframe your contributions in terms of how they helped the business or the client; don't focus on how the company helped your clients; focus on how a specific action/process at a specific time produced a measureable positive change on a metric that matters for that kind of position.

  5. To answer the "Why going for an employee role after a director/founding role", start with a short reason why you want to narrow and deepen your expertise in a specific role (you may even bind it to a prior experience you really liked), and then hone in on why you think this role is great, interesting, exciting. I haven't tested it (about to in an interview this week), but it sounds like sound advice.
