FWIW I've started getting messages from recruiters since last week.
As others have said, the market is just not in the right place for now. How about directly applying via their websites/LinkedIn/AngelList (cant remember their new name)?
Im a 5G Google Fi user (Pixel 7) in Boston (I live in the city) and its honestly trash. There have been so many times where it says 5G but there's actually no network (maps keeps using the downloaded ones, music doesnt play etc). I finally gave up after 3 months and limited it to use LTE and have had no complaints since.
If you're a Garmin device user, the app is pretty good!
I only recently started using their app more often and barring the social aspects, I dont think Strava offers me anything more. HR zones, recovery etc are all already in the Garmin app whereas its paid on Strava.
I guess for those who want routes/segments might gravitate towards Strava but I use a fairly standard set of routes so I dont value in that either.
Culture-wise? Pretty boring TBH. I've worked in 2 startups and this company, hence the opinion. Work was very slow paced, lots of processes to follow and not experimental with technology (for obvious reasons). IMO ideal for someone who wants a great work life balance and decent pay. Never got the thrill of working for the 3 years I was there and decided it was time to move on.
Power Systems or certain companies in the healthcare space?
I was working in a company making software for utilities and oil & gas companies (think competition to GE, Siemens etc). Don't think this will ever be slowed down or have to lay off people specifically due to a 2008-09 like recession
Yup, there were several tricks like these!
My father used to travel a lot and paying for roaming was expensive. So when he was available to speak, he'd just give a missed call at a fixed time and we used to call him from the landline (much cheaper). If we didn't get a missed call, he was busy.
I also remember while going to college, I had bus connectivity, but had to walk the last 3km or so home. I used to call either of my parents to come pick me up when I was around 15 minutes away from the bus stop.
I'm with you on trying to have minimal notifications. I have one personal email configured only for important mails, phone is set to vibration only since years (TBH I don't even remember what my ringtone sounds like) and my phone is always face down, which means DND mode.
That being said, I relate with what the article says. I find myself checking my phone every 20 minutes or so for notifications and the occasional Twitter/Instagram scrolling. It is distracting to me!
