Senior Markerter here......reading lots of posts about keeping up with technology. I manage a team of 12-20 depending on what we have on the go. When I'm interviewing I score candidates like this:

50% - Attitude
30% - Will they fit with our team culture
10% - Experience
10% - Education

You can teach skills. You can't teach attitude and fit.

I can't disagree with that. The thing about skills, especially technical skills, is that it will always come down to how someone uses them. If someone has a good attitude or flair or a sense of humor, any of that combined with skills will be a great combination. Skills without insight in applying them can fall short.

Agreed. The nature of our industry is that things change rapidly. Whether it's new algorythim changes we need to prepare for, updates to software, advances in AI.....Skills need to be constantly evolving. No one is going to have all the skills required from day one.

This is good, I think critical thinking or intellectual agility would be a good one too. You can teach skills but they may not be really effectively applied if can’t think critically about how to approach problems

A funny thing has happened in this awful job market. Hiring managers have so many candidates to choose from that they can narrow candidates down to look for a very niche, specific type of experience. They end up making worse hires because they are forgetting to look at the whole candidate.

I messed up my screenshare in a meeting with 2 colleagues and showed my personal email that had scheduling info for my onsite interviews with another company. I closed it but it was up long enough for them to see it. Now they both pretend like they saw nothing and I felt panic for some reason. How were your experiences when letting it out the bag early like that?

Hey guys, so I have competing offers. One at Bank of America for 124, and one at Allspring for 110.

Does anybody work at Allspring? They did not provide any information regarding benefits, 401k match, or any annual bonus structure. I was told, verbally, that the Bank of America bonus is something like 15 to 20%, but nothing in writing.

Just wondering if anyone has any knowledge about compensation structure at Allspring, or any opinions on the culture there. I would be in Charlotte.
