[11:13] head_victim: weird [11:14] 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] Or maybe you & i both are better engineers than we think... ;-) [11:14] elky: they did give me the vacancy notice to point at for the Sydney office as a systems engineer :/ Me, a systems engineer? [11:15] head_victim: Care to share it/ [11:15] s/\//?/ [11:15] You can get to it via a google search so I assume it's public? [11:16] http://www.google.com/about/jobs/locations/sydney/ [11:16] Bunch of them there [11:17] you are thinking about working for google now? [11:17] jaddi27: nah, was a cold email from a random. [11:17] oh, ok [11:17] I'm no where near qualified for any of the roles listed as vacant [11:18] i might apply for an internship there next year [11:18] Good luck :) [11:18] If it wasn't in Sydney, i would even consider some of those roles... ;) [11:18] 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. [11:19] I don't consider living here a downside... ;-) [11:19] Happy to stay here longer though, no real thought of moving unless the money was REALLY good. [11:20] head_victim: My downside: https://picasaweb.google.com/113106441554518621156/NewRaysFromAnAncientSun [11:20] blahdeblah: oh yeah, that just sucks. [11:21] :-D [11:26] 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 [11:27] there is a software comp on at the moment [11:27] any ideas on something to make? [11:31] Hmmm that engineering manager might be a laugh to apply for, probably not the reason they want people applying though. [11:32] 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] :) [11:32] that would be useful [11:32] maybe i will get there [11:33] most likely not [11:33] It was the first thing that popped into my head sorry [11:33] blahdeblah, nah, that's how they roll. if you throw a handful of gravel at a cup, some is bound to go in. [11:34] facebook is kinda the same. i seem to get more pings from them than from google these days. [11:34] elky: looks like the sort of thing the person emailing everyone only gets paid for if they get candidates to interview or something. [11:35] 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] Will get me nowhere but at least I'll avoid more silly emails from that particular random. [11:39] they do have bona fide project managers. [11:39] so it's worth trying [11:39] Indeed, but it would need to be mid 6 figures to want to make me move to Sydney, no point going backwards. [11:40] Sorry, not mid 6, I meant 150k+ [11:40] That was a bit much even for me. [11:40] And on that note, I'm heading to bed. [11:40] Yeah, don't think they pay thaaaaaat well. [11:40] they like to tack on the in-house benefits. [11:40] yeah, in house benefits don't pay my mortgage :/ [11:41] But the benefits at my current employment do pay for uni, so sometimes, benefits can pay off. [11:41] I've never responded to fb or google recruiters. i'm pretty sure both places would make me bitter and cynical within the year. === jaddi27_ is now known as jaddi27 [11:54] hopefully this connection stays up longer === Termana is now known as Guest70898 === md_5|away is now known as md_5 === md_5 is now known as md_5|away === chu_ is now known as chu
