| head_victim | blahdeblah: I don't have a linkedin account, apparently it was from my Ubuntu wiki page. | 11:12 |
|---|---|---|
| blahdeblah | head_victim: weird | 11:13 |
| blahdeblah | I looked her up on the 'Tubes and she seemed legit - maybe she's just new at it and doesn't know how to pick them? ;-) | 11:14 |
| blahdeblah | Or maybe you & i both are better engineers than we think... ;-) | 11:14 |
| head_victim | elky: they did give me the vacancy notice to point at for the Sydney office as a systems engineer :/ Me, a systems engineer? | 11:14 |
| blahdeblah | head_victim: Care to share it/ | 11:15 |
| blahdeblah | s/\//?/ | 11:15 |
| head_victim | You can get to it via a google search so I assume it's public? | 11:15 |
| head_victim | http://www.google.com/about/jobs/locations/sydney/ | 11:16 |
| head_victim | Bunch of them there | 11:16 |
| jaddi27 | you are thinking about working for google now? | 11:17 |
| head_victim | jaddi27: nah, was a cold email from a random. | 11:17 |
| jaddi27 | oh, ok | 11:17 |
| head_victim | I'm no where near qualified for any of the roles listed as vacant | 11:17 |
| jaddi27 | i might apply for an internship there next year | 11:18 |
| head_victim | Good luck :) | 11:18 |
| blahdeblah | If it wasn't in Sydney, i would even consider some of those roles... ;) | 11:18 |
| head_victim | blahdeblah: that's the other downside, I'm kind of tied to Brisbane for at least another 3 years now I've signed up to the Masters. | 11:18 |
| blahdeblah | I don't consider living here a downside... ;-) | 11:19 |
| head_victim | Happy to stay here longer though, no real thought of moving unless the money was REALLY good. | 11:19 |
| blahdeblah | head_victim: My downside: https://picasaweb.google.com/113106441554518621156/NewRaysFromAnAncientSun | 11:20 |
| head_victim | blahdeblah: oh yeah, that just sucks. | 11:20 |
| blahdeblah | :-D | 11:21 |
| head_victim | Bunch of home based jobs at Canonical going - https://tbe.taleo.net/NA3/ats/careers/searchResults.jsp?org=CANONICAL&cws=1&act=sort&sortColumn=2&sortColumn=0 | 11:26 |
| jaddi27 | there is a software comp on at the moment | 11:27 |
| jaddi27 | any ideas on something to make? | 11:27 |
| head_victim | Hmmm that engineering manager might be a laugh to apply for, probably not the reason they want people applying though. | 11:31 |
| head_victim | jaddi27: a program to amalgamate all the different cloud server to max out your free disk space and make it one large drive you can access with a single login. | 11:32 |
| head_victim | :) | 11:32 |
| jaddi27 | that would be useful | 11:32 |
| jaddi27 | maybe i will get there | 11:32 |
| jaddi27 | most likely not | 11:33 |
| head_victim | It was the first thing that popped into my head sorry | 11:33 |
| elky | blahdeblah, nah, that's how they roll. if you throw a handful of gravel at a cup, some is bound to go in. | 11:33 |
| elky | facebook is kinda the same. i seem to get more pings from them than from google these days. | 11:34 |
| head_victim | elky: looks like the sort of thing the person emailing everyone only gets paid for if they get candidates to interview or something. | 11:34 |
| head_victim | I'll send them a resume back with a "thanks but I'm not an engineer, if you get anything in team leadership/management roles that are 6 figures, please throw my resume in the hat". | 11:35 |
| head_victim | Will get me nowhere but at least I'll avoid more silly emails from that particular random. | 11:35 |
| elky | they do have bona fide project managers. | 11:39 |
| elky | so it's worth trying | 11:39 |
| head_victim | Indeed, but it would need to be mid 6 figures to want to make me move to Sydney, no point going backwards. | 11:39 |
| head_victim | Sorry, not mid 6, I meant 150k+ | 11:40 |
| head_victim | That was a bit much even for me. | 11:40 |
| head_victim | And on that note, I'm heading to bed. | 11:40 |
| elky | Yeah, don't think they pay thaaaaaat well. | 11:40 |
| elky | they like to tack on the in-house benefits. | 11:40 |
| head_victim | yeah, in house benefits don't pay my mortgage :/ | 11:40 |
| head_victim | But the benefits at my current employment do pay for uni, so sometimes, benefits can pay off. | 11:41 |
| elky | I've never responded to fb or google recruiters. i'm pretty sure both places would make me bitter and cynical within the year. | 11:41 |
