3/16    http://Adjectivity.com is hiring java programmers full time
        paying with stock and stock options. email zen@adjectivity.com
        \_ stock AND options?! why not sal and ary?
           \_ How are my shares in Confederate Slave Holdings?
           \_ salary is 2500/mo but with stock options which are
              potentially worth millions!
                       \_ Only in the wallpaper business.
              \_ after tax i hope and bimonthly
              \_ 2500/mo? I hope you mean Pounds and not $s.
              \_ jesus, I think grad students make more.
                        \_ You think wrong, working on campus that is
           \_ one can only hope that they get bought out. isnt their
              cto leaving?
              \_ yeah. but [ajani,njh]@csua are staying.  They like it!
                 \_ are they going to play best 3 out of 5 UT deathmatch
                    to see who's going to be CTO next?
                    \_ CounterStrike not UT
              \_ this means new hires have better chance at
                 moving up the ladder and taking leadership roles!
                 \_ YASWUUE (Yet Another Startup With Underqualified
                    Undergrad Executives). Woo Hoo!
                 \_ Then why not start up your own company: then you can
                    be President, CEO, Chairman, COO, CFO, CTO, and CIO
                    That's really moving up the ladder. Good for the resume.
                    \_ We already discussed this on the motd last year.
                       Big title at small company means nothing. MTS at
                       Sun or Staff Eng at Cisco is much better for your
                       resume than VP of Eng at a small startup with no
                       technology.
                       \_ No shit. Are you being sarcastic? I think we were.
                          \_ Its getting harder and harder to tell who is
                             being sarcastic and who is actually an idiot.
                             I've taken to treating every comment literally.
                       \_ Not necessarily.  It depends. --jsl
                          \_ This was not jsl.  Do not put jsl's name on my
                             comments no matter how minor a comment.  -- !jsl
        \_ just to clarify, that was $2500/month cash + stock options
           (additional)
           \_ Cold hard cash, with real $ bills, or via check?
              As a show of faith you should pay with real $s, since
              no one can really be sure your checks won't bounce.
           \_ Even UCB custodial staff make more than that per month.
              And they get a guaranteed pension and job security.
           \_ Hey, cool, where do I sign up?  I can't wait to take a $100k/yr
              pay cut.
           \_ That wouldn't even cover my current federal withholding, and
              I claim 3 allowances.
                \_ Yeah but think of the 500 options you'll get that in 4
                   years will be good to wipe your ass with... once.

4/23    Suppose you used to work at Awesome Corp that got acquired by
        Monsanto Corp. You're embarrassed about it and people now hate
        you by association. Should you put Monsanto on your resume? Or
        is it better to leave it out completely?
        \_ Awesome Corp 2008-present (acquired by Monsanto in 2010)

        http://sfbay.craigslist.org/about/craigslist_is_hiring
        \_ I love management and PMs, the more the better.
           \_ In my company the ratio of product managers to developers is
              about 1 to 5.  I heard that at Microsoft it's about 1 to 1.

3/1     Can someone explain to me why Groupon is a tech company?
        \_ It's similar to how Amazon and eBay are tech companies.
           \_ Amazon and eBay are *NOW* tech companies, they didn't
              start that way. Groupon started off as a marketing
              company, and their "technology" isn't getting any better
              than a bigger and bigger opt-in email spam system.
