Is Threads the one by the Twitter founder, or the one by Facebook? Or the one that's encrypted? Or is it about Twitter, Twitter threads? Or is it a Whatsapp thing??
Back in my day you got predicted grades, went to an interview, got an offer (or didn't get, but that was rare, the interview would however sometimes result in a lower than standard offer) then got the grades, or didn't, but holding a cascade of offers down actual grades was common/recommended.
Edit: I'm really not joking. The amount of resources - people, time, enterprise - pumped into front end frameworks is quite horrendous when most applications are CRUD, and most others are CRUD 80% of the time.
A glut of corporate devices coming to a 2nd hand electronics market near you soon. Or eBay.
Which I love, as I enjoy near perfect condition slightly older ThinkPads for $200. Though I don't buy many, and have only recently 'upgraded' from an X220 to an X250.
But. Why? What is the pressing functionality in Windows 11 that past versions do not have. I get the need for a newer phone if someone really wants a better camera or a special purpose app, or just has to have many many apps that run all the time and need extra cores and memory because of the users' habits. I get it for servers where energy's a big part of the cost function. These are hardware needs. But not software needs. We're already mature without hitting the next tipping point which isn't now. MS's motive must be alternate.
Do some exercise like situps or skipping early in the morning; have a pullup bar across a door frame to use when the kids are brushing their teeth, and some pushup handles. Much more time effective than a gym unless you're really into something in particular.
Do whatever they like in the evening, get engrossed, forget forgetting your work, forget yourself. Their time is fascinating.
Edit: Get an early night. Enjoy doing even more tomorrow, today's done with.
But it's not just about tax. For privacy and having a Delaware-like specific business litigation process should you ever need it, Nevada's advantageous over Wyoming without needing much more in tax. Then for access to finance, a location that'll let you open a bank account for the business can be important (this might depend on US state). So there's a bit of YMMV, but nothing an Ask HN can't fix!
Why Singapore and not, say, Wyoming that has no corporate tax.
Personal tax isn't paid if you're not tax resident, and OP seems to be resident in Thailand so will have to follow relevant laws there.
If ASEAN free trade's of benefit, perhaps. Or if going for a Singapore ID card then having a profitable business might be worth it. Or access to SE Asia finance. Outside these, Wyoming!
That's an annoying way of presenting data: A chart without axis labels that requires hovering over a small dot just to find out the city name where the tooltip obscures nearby small dots and makes just highlighted dot hard to find again, excludes far away dots.
A table with 5 columns would have been easier for everyone.
Corporate HR, based on actual thinking unlike the Twitter author who seems based on ego. The reason for this is there's a lot embedded about what 'A', 'C', 'E' mean, and that's different for different people. Using specific terminology (somewhat) mitigates this.
'Average' is also 'Effective'. If the organisation's hiring most people at the right level, that's the way it should be, right?
[An organisational pat on the back that its employees are effective. And then whole business lines get cut, because they're not effective. But the employees are, correct? Blinkered into effectively obeying. That's different from the OP.]
Consistently getting 'exceptional' or 'outstanding' is a problem for your manager because it means they've hired you at the wrong level. Whether this is a problem for you depends on your manager.
It's not all in a name, it's how you think about it. That the author of the post deflates 'Effective' to 'C', which means overall able but lacking in in some areas, identifies something's off. Enough to make me run a mile from any association with this company.
Further, something wrong with the employee conversation. Given a job specification and reasonable leadership communication, having someone surprised means they've been working with the wrong goals, and that's leadership's problem. It happens, I've been there, and then you reverse it, however Tweeting it as a bragging point is lost on me as leadership communication.
At the other end of the spectrum, compiling a website to get a result I need to learn a static site CMS for but without the benefit of having a dynamic website is not user friendly nor is it feature full.
A. Write it down sufficiently succinctly to publish in academic journals. Or failing that, a book with an ISBN that gets archived in libraries. Perhaps creative commons etc licencing will help a bit, but it's gotta make it to distributed archives.
B. Teach a future generation. It lives through them and gets built on.
C. Embed it in what you do. It might not be a webpage, but there's code and ideas living in organisations today that have outlived their authors.
In this sense, perhaps bash.org hasn't died. It's just outlived its domain.
> - No response to questions, after follow-up we got a meeting from middle-management
They're busy running the company paying mortgages while C-suite believe nice sounding words and budgets are all the incentives needed. Welcome to middle management. Some in C-suite will get this.
> - Got some new info, but mostly circle-talk
You're speaking different language. Speak company, not generic IT.
> - Received very negative feedback, where the middle management and only focussed on the questions or steps that where wrong ??
Again, welcome to middle management. It went wrong. There's an error. Fix the error. It's what they do. Again, speak their language.
> - General tips for nailing down requirements ?
Ask for their existing "provide us the steps or process flow for when to alert who after what time, when xyz happens" flowchart, escalation matrix, escalation tree or whatever it's called in their corporate language. Perhaps it doesn't exist. If they're ISO9001 it should, but perhaps not.
Don't ask for meetings on your terms. Go sit in the team, attend operations meetings. Understand them. Corporates are anthropological studies.
A simple CMS. I became frustrated at actually being able to install Drupal - where a framework must be installed to install a framework to actually install... the framework, and Wordpress's new incarnation where a blog post ends up as a header and the footer ends up in the contact form didn't impress me.
It was easier to DIY my own thing over a year than deal with these 'tools' that once did what they said on the tin.
