Got asked “what do you think the most important Agile ceremony is” in an interview, curious to hear what everyone thinks. I said daily standups

I would say the retrospective. That is the difference between being able to continuously improve or stand still.

Standup could either be the most important or least important depending on the manager. I think I’m going to go with sprint planning

I can’t keep a straight face when they call it a “ceremony”. I get that’s the norm, but man do I hate agile terminology.

Backlog refinement or grooming is where we elicit and document an exhaustive list of requirements from the product owner in order to build the right product.

It’s a great question.. hard to pick one. I find all of them really important. Standups are the gateways to successful refinements sprint reviews and planning so it would have to be that one

About to get promoted at PwC from Associate to Senior Associate (mgmt consulting). I interviewed at Deloitte for a Consultant position, but they’re potentially giving me an offer for BA. I’d essentially be holding out on the promo until next promo cycle. Usually, I’d understand hiring at a level below for higher levels but I feel like doing a 3rd year as a junior might not be the best decision. Should I push HR for Consultant level? I haven’t gotten the official offer letter yet, just verbal.

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary.

I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?

What should I reasonably expect from a junior?

I manage a junior developer that's been with the company for about 18 months. I end up providing them of TON of support. I need to give them extremely detailed instructions or they fail. For bugs, I need to point them to a specific function that's causing the bug. For new features, I'm basically writing their method signatures and defining their test cases.

I've tried asking them to do more on their own, but when I do, they fail spectacularly.
