I’m intrigued by the rapid increase of people using zoom/Skype video on their calls - it feels like a trend in last 3 months . What’s people’s thoughts on this. Do you love it or hate it?

For some reason everyone loves Zoom. I think it’s trash. Very hard to call into, compared to webex/Skype which will just call your phone. Also no beeps letting you know people are join/leaving or any notification of if people are on the call/how many. No idea why people love it so much, idk what it does better than Skype/webex

The instances of Webex and Skype I’ve used (clients) DON’T call your phone and the screenshare projections are tiny. Software also seems super dated compared to zoom’s interface

Zoom is superior

Zoom has impressed me. Have used Chime before and now Teams, zoom out does them both in my humble opinion

I personally don’t really like it - I like to multi-task...

Depends on the call, but if it’s a collaborative meeting then I like the video because it forces people to NOT multi-task

2. My boyfriend and I often just go off cam / mute during the more useless meetings and have sex instead. I secretly hope everyone who is muted/cam off in meetings is getting some action.

I cleared the Interview for SDET in Oracle today in the Manager discussion, He asked about the Expectations and I told 25 lpa, He said we cant pay that much as Your current is 14.7.
I said I can be flexible and minimum i can go for is 22 Lpa as i have another offer of 25 but considering oracle brand value i am ready to go settle but he said I can't offer you this much and left the zoom call. So How much oracle is offering for SDET of 8 Years of Experience?

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

Anyone else find it strange that Slack and Company has advised their employees that they are shutting the agency down on Friday, yet they still have available positions showing up online.
