I have to quit the first time at 3th year and second time for monetary reasons.At 4th year. Now married and bussy working I do not have the time and the money to go throught it all over again.
I work at an academic institute where they teach Soft. engineering. And I know for sure that specially in software, many teachers (Phds) are below the knowledge of the students. When I hired people in the past I check what they knew and I test them on new scenarios. There are people that are constant and may take them many years to get the knowledge that others can build in a few. I am talking of self experience, after I flew an airplane, did some acrobatics and land it on my first wet hour. AND AFTER I learn the theory by myself. (I got a distinction diploma). The main point is: look at the replies, how many people in the list consider they self suitable besides the Bsd or even whenb they have it they found it irrelevant. When Lerner was looking for that qualify multitask guy, I almost could see that they where using my CV as a guide (joke). then Someone on the list point out that the guy should ask for more than 10k, I think that today if you ask for a guy of a knowledge of 4 guys pay him at least the price of two. At an interview I went more than a year ago, I was found very qualify for a jack of all trades sys admin. then the question came: Why did you jump so many jobs in a short period ?you may agree with me that in the last six years and in high tech it was not like working at a bank 30 years ago.) I pointed out that the variance of knowledge that they where demanding was imposible to be build at one job. You know what it feels like? * The company ask for a man with the knowledge of 4. * When you show them that you are the man whorthy 5 starts the negociation. * They tell you how hard is the market, blah blah, they ofer you 1/2 your last salary.( where they closed and you did not get the last two salaries) * If you like the Technological challenge you may agree on 3/4. Now do the maths. P.S.: I love my current job, I was offered more from Intel almost two years ago and I had the opportunity to say NO. -- Meir Michanie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
