Residential real estate costs roughly tice what it did 10 years ago. A "crash" back closer to fair market prices would be the desired effect.

Whoah. Looks at Mr. Fancy here using DIVs on his blog. In my day we used the TD tag like a machine gun.
How does a US company go about performing a criminal background check on an employee from Canada? From what I gather, you have to be a Canadian citizen to run a background check on another Canadian citizen.

Re:Salesforce will lay off 10% of staff as part of restructuring on Wednesday January 04, 2023 @11:18AM (#34247442)
The "we over hired" line is mostly made up. Many of these companies did not substantially increase their head count. This has more to do with improving P&L numbers to get their stock up, since most companies' revenue is tanking currently.

$15 minimum wage is not something to be proud of. That's just over $30k a year. If you know someone that makes that little, you know how personally unsustainable that level of income is.
Re:Ask HN: Losing all interest in programming, what now? on Thursday December 10, 2020 @11:18AM (#25375274)
Happened to me. Switched to digital marketing. I really like it. I still code sometimes but it's never more than 20% of my week. Had to learn basic design, UX, CMSs, CRMS, CDPs, marketing automation etc.

Long story short, there is a huge shortage of competent digital folks in the marketing world. I really like the work and the pay is similar.

Re:A warning about Glassdoor on Thursday October 15, 2020 @12:41PM (#24790601)
Luckily, it's pretty easy to spot fake reviews on Glassdoor. Unfortunately though, it kind of ruins the experience for most people.

The two big mobile app stores have been flooded with spam reviews for over 5 years now unchecked. For those that know how to spot fake reviews, it's easy to tell which apps are not legit. For most consumers though, they just believe what they see.

This was my exact experience working at Nike 4 years ago. In this scenario, I was the guy sitting. I got this type of "talking to" when I submitted a bug ticket because jQuery was being loaded 3 times on the same page.

The Nike.com software group was over 1,000 employees working on a microservices mess that performed horribly on the customer side. They could have built a much better product with about 50 competent software professionals.
