I’m unsure if this is a purely Google thing or specifically my team—but are you as a designer expected to run design sprints and workshops? It’s pretty much become synonymous with my jobs and if I don’t run them it’s considered a bad thing. I’m thinking of jumping ship but want to know if this is ...Read more
What I mean is - is it generally a person in a technical role or a management role that determines the items to do in the next sprint and general priority of what issues to address when? I'm moving into a more senior role and people are asking me to essentially determine the direction of the projec...Read more
Last week I spoke to a HR rep at Sprint. He ensured me that the jobs in OP are safe. The bulk of layoffs will come from the T-Mobile side as their salaries are 30-40% higher than Sprint employees. The brand may be T-Mobile, but the corporate culture and compensation will be strongly influenced by...Read more
Curious if people sack sprints to grind the next job. #tech #interview
Seriously. No reason to actually get good at your job when you can just coast the entire time as any in-job skills are useless for clearing future job interviews. Why bother growing skills or learning anything useful when the next job is just a meaningless backtracking problem away? Im incompetent a...Read more
Is this even a job? I have seen a lot of TPM's only doing some useless meetings and managing Sprint dashboards. Why is there a need for such a role? Shouldn't the lead or other senior members of the team do it instead?
Union predicts tens of thousands of job cuts after T-Mobile and Sprint combine. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2020/02/t-mobile-conducts-layoffs-as-it-prepares-to-complete-sprint-merger #layoffs
2 months ago, manager put me on pivot and start pip. Today After 2 months of 50-60hrs / week work time, keep asking code review all the day and basically complete all tasks but today I was managed out and manager give me reason as one task carried to another sprint and I asked for more sprint point...Read more
Posting on behalf of a friend ---- Got an offer for IC6 from FB London. I got connected to a few teams but none of them working on consumer facing apps. Recruiter told me that there is a hiring sprint & unless the sprint is over (most of the jobs in the sprint found takers), a new sprint wont start ...Read more
Read this article below that summarizes where AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, and Verizon are at in terms of 5G. I think it did a good job explaining what each company has done so far. So, who do you think will win this race? https://www.fiercewireless.com/5g/5g-deployments-where-it-s-at-at-t-sprint-verizo...Read more
So I joined the company last year and just after 5 months OptumRx and Red ventures started a joint venture. I had to look for a new job, so I went to Optum tech. Got promoted one level with a decent raise. I got good reviews from the manager but now the team started expanding really fast. The manag...Read more
In my dev team of 6 people I complete about 30% - 40% of sprint goals. Another couple of people do their job too. The rest slack off. Our team doesn’t complete the sprint goals and get reprimanded again and again. No one talks about personal accountability. Every sprint review is just another bs...Read more
I would love to hear the experience of people who were put on dev-plan and managed to get rid off Amazon with a job offer and also could you answer If you continued performing in the sprints or you just focused on the job hunt? #severance #layoff #pip #amazon
Got a ticket this sprint to change all our repo's default branch from master to main, I can already see a bunch of our jobs are going to fail & melt into a hot pile of s*** and I have to fix them
Had rejections after onsites at 3 of the MAANG. Few other reject/ghosts from mid sized (series B to D) startups. Never did any preparation, and took the sign of getting to onsites easily as I can maybe skirt by. Today’s rejection was a wake up call that PM interviews require serious prep and study...Read more
My job at Sprint is my first job out of college and all the talks about the merger between Sprint and T-Mobile makes me feel a little uneasy because I don't really understand what the impact will be for me and my team. Seems like there are a lot of people here from huge corporations who have probabl...Read more
I recently transitioned to Ux Design and feel that I’m hitting a wall with my job search. Offering to do a design sprint in my cover letter but not sure if that’s the best way forward. What helped you land your job?#design #interviews #ui/ux
So this keeps happening to me At the beginning of sprint I receive tasks like everyone else (maybe a bit more since I am full-stack dev) I usually work through them fairly quickly and in between sprint I keep getting getting tasks/bugs injected into my board Initially I didn't had any problems wi...Read more
25 people on my team of 40 were laid-off this week. All vendors have been advised to downsize. They're not interested in employing Testers or Scrum Masters. They want to reduce the number of TPM's. The delayed sprint integration has fucked it up for everyone. It was a shitty company to begin with. M...Read more
I have a lot of savings and don’t require a visa. I’m not afraid of a PiP, the severance would cover the time it takes to find a new job. I meet my requirements, never miss a task on a sprint but never take extra on. I’m not any ones favorite but I’m dependable for medium quality, which is enough t...Read more
