3/21    Will someone recommend a good place to post my resume?  For instance,
        what do people here think of <DEAD>Monster.com...techies.com<DEAD>?  Thanks.
        \_ if you dont mind working as a contractor use dice or monster, if you
           want to deal directly with companies, look in craigslist or
                \_ Don't post it publically if you're not ready to burn bridges.
           go to various websites and follow their 'jobs' links.
           if you do web based development, post your login.
        \_ another question: how do you prevent your current employer from
                seeing your resume on these sites?
                \_ Don't post it publically if you're not ready to burn
                   bridges.
                   [your manager could be browsing from AOL]
                        \_ could also be positive -- chance for a raise,
                                more responsibility and others.
                                \_ No.  You should go and ask for that stuff.
                                   Good managers know that they won't keep an
                                   employee long term who is unhappy no matter
                                   how much money they toss around, especially
                                   if you're all set to leave without even
                                   telling them there was a problem.
                                   \_ Yeah, that pretty much matches my
                                      experience also.  By the time it gets to
                                      the point where the employee is sending
                                      out resumes, monsy won't do much besides
                                      delay the inevitable.
        \_ http://dice.com. My mom and my best friend both found new jobs
           in 2-3 weeks after posting on dice.
                \_ 2-3 weeks?  What's wrong with them?  Try 2-3 hours.
                   \_ Are you retarded or something?  Haven't you noticed that
                      there's a sort of theme as far as posting followups to
                      the motd goes?  Moron.
                        \_ No.  I haven't.  What theme?
                   \_ Both wanted a decent long term place to work, not
                      just the latest startup craze. Besides neither was
                      looking for straight coding. My mom took over as eng.
                      lead/architect and my best friend took over as a
                      director. These jobs are a little harder to find.
                        \_ Ok... 2-3 days.
                           \_ That's what it took to get the interviews
                              and offers lined up. They switched employers
                              2-3 weeks (including 2wk notice) after posting
                              on dice.
        \_ hotjobs generated LOTSA calls and email for me.. they have an
           employer-block feature but I don't know how well it works -shac

        \_ Dice is best for contracts, hands down. Their ability to search
        by phone area code is way useful too. I often am not interested in
        Bay Area as a whole, say want to exclude South Bay. -muchandr
        \_ whomever you use make sure you don't put down a phone number
           unless ou really enjoy getting woekn up by someone far too cheerful
           who is trying to convince ou that babysitting databases is the
           most exciting career move out there.
           \_ "CLICK!"  Last message on my machine was some chick saying that
              she's from Blah Inc (which I never heard of) and random chick #2
              gave her my resume and said I should be offered this great job
              opportunity, etc, etc, etc.  I love my answering machine.

4/17    Questions about recruiting below.  Thanks.
        1. Why are different positions called full-time, contracting, and
        intern, with "full-time" meaning regular permanent positions?
        Contracting and intern positions are usually 40 hours/week which would
        imply they are full-time (i.e. not part-time) also.
        2. What's the difference between temp, contracting, and consulting

1/16    Fred Wilson says you should focus on the cash value of your
        options, not the percentages:
        http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2010/11/employee-equity-how-much.html
        \_ Or at least, so says a VC trying increase his profit margin...
        \_ A VC wants to keep as much of the stock for themselves (and give
           as little to employees as possible).  That maximizes their return.

        According to this report, 28.8% of the jobs in the
        Sunnyvale-San Jose-Santa Clara area are considered IT. Is this
        bullshit or what? What about all the restaurants, cleaning,
        retail, and a shitload of other non-IT jobs in the area?

12/15   Does anyone have experience investing in apartment buildings
        I'm not really looking to invest, but I want an apartment
        to live in, and I'm not happy with the leases I'm encountering
        for instance one requires 2 years of tax returns with the
        application. I'm in a position to buy a building, but I've
        got no experience with this, and I don't want to learn that

6/2     Dear sysadm, what is your experience with packaging systems
        (chef, puppet, etc)? What are you recommendations?
        \_ Those are system management systems.  packaging systems would be
           things like rpm and pkg.
