Anonymity and focus on work life/issues.

It’s also a surprisingly supportive place with a lot less trolling than most of the internet. I would have thought being anonymous would make people less supportive, but the opposite has been true in my experience.

Definitely the ability to speak openly and be honest, thanks to the anonymity. I also appreciate that the mods seem to have a good handle on things to prevent too many toxic interactions.

Every conversation is strained and they judge and critique every aspect of my life, even though I’m finally feeling happy and settled in my career. How did you handle a new chapter of your relationship with them?

So I have been offered a job at multinational company as a Data Engg. It was a part of the hiring event, and literally got selected with a VERY VERY SIMPLE technical assessment, and a 45 minute interview.

The pay should within my expectations, but I am unsure about the company and the team.

Just that the process was way too easy so quick. I do not even know the hiring manager.

Has someone been a part of this before? Any suggestions if I should go for it? What should I ask?

Fish Fam, I would like your opinion for a question that has been bugging me for a while.

In theory, Agile is like being in a "union light"?

Anyone else see this, or am I just being silly?
