HR/CEO/VCs really wanted us to nail this side of the company so we went all out trying to recruit someone to run the show.

Guy liked our package and the job itself but was on the fence given his options. My second dinner with him I began talking more about how his department would help mine, ie why we're eating dinner right now.

I'm talking about how one thing I really want is for how department to always be on the lookout for finding those magical elements that elude laypeople eyes like mine. IE Facebook found once you have 20 friends you'll stay forever, Instagram found receiving x amount of likes on photos within a week so then they'll drive development to emphasize that ie Facebook works relentlessly to connect people who know each other irl seamlessly & Instagram will give a boost to the visibility of photos of new users etc.

He straight up told me, "that's not how data science works." So I asked, "that's interesting, can you elaborate." He responded, "well you clearly wouldn't understand since you want me to do stuff like that."

I asked him what exactly it was that he thought he'd be doing, ie not simply in regards to working with my department but in general what his department would do. And he just gave vague answers about understanding the user base and their habits. To which I asked, how is that different from what I was talking about just now? Again got a non committal, non specific, no you wouldn't understand answer.

Needless to say, we did not continue the recruitment after that. I mentioned this anecdote once at a website dedicated to data science and got an extremely cold "omg wtf you idiot how dare you ask a data scientist department to do minion work"

There's a serious data scientist bubble

This is why you don't recruit from academia.

Highly dependent on the company for Data Engineer, fwiw. For instance, we dont have data engineers that are different from other software engineers, even tho one can work on a DE specific team. This means you have plenty of upward mobility to become staff, principal, an engineering manager, or lead teams.

But I agree at many companies it's a lot of simple modeling and gluing pipes together. The candidates that have _only_ DE experience tend not to make it far in our interview process.

Also, he was kinda right. You don't know what you don't know until you figure out that you don't know it. Until then, 90% of what you learn will be met with "no **** now tell me something I don't already know."

One would think after 20 years she would have come to her senses?

Congrats though. 20 years is China, right. I think Feely has a good line on some Chinese rock. Rip Joey Ramone.

At about a bakers dozen or thereabouts. Time has lost all meaning so can't be too precise.

If only rtp DC and 67o were married enough to have a misogynistic conversation about how men are abused in the divorce game. That'd be nice.

My first job out of college was working at a call center for a major financial services company. In retrospect, having that company on my resume looked a lot better than if I had the same job in a number of different industries.

She's gonna have to divorce me. I ain't going nowhere.

Had a dream last night that the kids were grown and gone (17 & 14 now), and she passed, and I decided to spend my retirement OMC-ing it up in the southern US 6 months a year living in an RV.

16 years for me.

Not a perfect marriage but a very good one and it’s withstood a lot of pressure at various times, not least this year with living in such close proximity for so long
