To any šŸ  that have done a ā€œfirst dateā€ over zoom, FaceTime, etc: What was your experience like? Anyone have a bad experience where you ended up not liking the other person and stopped pursuing them after?

Ive had several. Thought it would be awkward but it really wasnt. Like in-person dates some go well and we keep talking, some we dont vibe and thats it. Its really not that big of a deal

I have. It was honestly a lot of fun. We had a great conversation for a couple hours. Just make sure your lighting and camera angle are good beforehand, and otherwise treat it like any other first date.

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?

Iā€™ve worked at places that all have different holiday policies. EA has at minimum a nice 10 day shutdown from Christmas Eve through New Years. Itā€™s great to know that there will be no slack messages or an exploded inbox to come back to while away. Iā€™ve been at other studios that only give you Christmas Eve & Day and New Years Eve & Day and then the rest is up to you to request for PTO and this is obviously the suck.

Wonder what itā€™s like for you?

How many emails and/or Slack messages do you receive and respond to on a typical day?
