As a hiring manager, do you typically get the final say in who you want to hire? I typically hold a final interview round as a panel with my own manager, and they provide input. Curious on how it works for others, and the level of involvement of your seniors.

It depends. Usually yes, but I've been "strongly encouraged" to select certain applicants in the past. As a manager, I'm generally not going to go against something my executive leadership wants.

In the case I'm referring to, I'm super glad I did. They clearly knew something I didn't because I wouldn't have picked that candidate based on interviews, but they quickly became the best person on my team by a mile!

nice! glad it worked out well!

Yes I get the ultimate say a majority of the time. There have been very few times that my boss has overridden my decision. We are usually on the same page about who to hire so she lets me make the final call. She really only makes the final decision if someone comes from another department highly recommended.

nice! I've been overrideen once before- and it was the situation where it was a highly recommended employee from another department haha

Anyone know what kind of experience or certifications I should be aiming to get if I'm trying to break into a pentest role? I just graduated last year and have about a year of sysadmin experience and am trying to get into it asap. So, I'm already applying/job hunting and probably won't get much replies but. Should I be looking at more security analyst/admin roles first? Going for certs? Getting a masters? Wondering what I can do to improve my chances. TIA

Hello!
I’m a student majoring in Software Engineering. I’m starting my third year in a few months and have an internship where I’m learning more about working with an actual team on real-world projects.

Serious question from a happy software engineer, what do you all love about your work/actually enjoy doing during working hours?

I'll start; I'm privileged enough to have been given the opportunity to work and learn deeply on Linux and Kubernetes, and I get to tinker and play with them all day. Problem solving with them is a "fun" part of my job.

Of course most things aren't roses and sunshine, but I'd love to hear the positive parts of what you are doing, or what you like to do at work.
