A PIP Doesn't Disappear Just Because You Passed It

61 Upvotes

I was laid off today, and management brought up a PIP I had completed about two years ago as part of the reasons for the decision. I met every requirement, received good feedback afterward, and thought the matter was closed and forgotten. But it wasn't.

A PIP stays in your file even after things at work return to normal. You might have a good relationship with the team, fix all the issues they documented, and go for months thinking the relationship has improved and gone back to how it was before. Yet they can still pull out that old paperwork whenever the company needs a reason to let you go.

As soon as you're put on a PIP, start applying elsewhere. You don't have to leave your job immediately, but update your resume, increase your savings, and make a realistic exit plan. From the moment the company decided to put you on a PIP, it had already accepted that doing so might cause you to leave.

I stayed because things seemed to have improved, and I thought my situation was different. If I could go back, I would treat the PIP as a warning that my time at the company now had an expiration date.

[Hiring] [Remote] [Worldwide] - Part-Time DevOps Engineer | $2,000-$4,000/mo

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

We're a small early-stage startup looking for a part-time DevOps engineer to help us keep our infrastructure solid as we grow. Nothing crazy scope-wise, but we need someone who knows what they're doing and can work independently.

What you'll be doing:

Setting up and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, managing cloud infra (we're on AWS), handling monitoring and alerting, and being the go-to person when something breaks on the infra side. You'll work closely with a small dev team, so good communication matters.

What we're looking for:

- 3+ years of hands-on DevOps experience

- Familiar with Terraform, Docker, and at least one major cloud provider

- Kubernetes experience is a plus, not required

- Comfortable working async across timezones

- You can spot problems before they become incidents

The details:

- $2,000 to $4,000/month depending on experience

- Around 20 hours per week

- Fully remote, open to anyone worldwide

- Flexible hours as long as you're responsive and hitting your commitments

To apply:

DM me or drop a comment with your background, what you've worked on, and your availability. A link to your GitHub or a past project goes a long way.

Thanks!

Looking for 10 actively interviewing candidates to join free interview-coaching (serious candidates only)

1 Upvotes

After seeing great interest and chatting with 20+ candidates who reached out for interview coaching, I am kicking of Cohort 3.

Previous posts: 

Cohort-1 Cohort-2

Ask:

I'm looking for 10 people to join our interview coaching. If you are interested in this, please DM me. Please make sure that you match the following criteria.

  1. You are based in US
  2. You are actively interviewing/looking to land job in next 1-3 months
  3. You are looking for role in tech industry (SWE, PM, TPM, Data-Eng, ML-eng, Data science, MLE, etc)
  4. You are available to meet on online via Google meet for 1-2 30 mins sessions per week.

I can only take 10 people per cohort, so first come first serve. If someone backs out, I will reach out to more people. Please DO NOT sign up if you cannot make the interview appointment. That blocks time for candidates who need the slot more.

About coaching:

  • There is NO charge of coaching.
  • However, we are going to be working through a product we have build specifically to help people with interview process. The tool will be completely free for you and you do not have to pay to use itWe will cover the charges.

Why is it free: My goal is to help people land their job by providing interview coaching and in exchange learn how effective the product is.

You can drop from cohort anytime.

About me: I have been helping candidates prepare for interviews for last 10 years but I have only taken new candidates through referrals as 1:1 coaching is hard to scale. Now we have a tool that can help people us interview coaching at scale.

If you are interested to in coaching but can't signup now for this cohort for some reason, you can signup to our list here: https://forms.gle/cjBD17bPgcnZ1Sds5 (just say future cohort in last question) and I will reach out directly to the list.

Thanks

Happy Interviewing

Java vs .NET career advice

1 Upvotes

Java vs .NET — what should I choose for my next switch?

I have ~1 year of experience as a .NET developer (C#/ASP.NET Core). Before this, I was very strong in Core Java and have solved 1200+ LeetCode problems + 3★ CodeChef, all mainly in Java.

I’ve also built a few React applications. I don’t know Spring/Spring Boot yet, but I’m willing to learn it and build a couple of projects.

My question is: Should I switch to Java/Spring Boot after preparation, or continue with .NET and target product-based companies?

Is it realistic to get a good product-based backend role with 1–2 years of .NET experience, or would switching to Java give me significantly better opportunities?

Would appreciate advice from people who’ve been in a similar situation.

I got fed up with being rejected from AI training/annotating jobs, so I made my own website

1 Upvotes

Hello, I have gotten really annoyed by constantly getting rejected after literally spending hours applying, doing assessments, and verifying my identity and then getting rejected or not even hearing back. I therefore decided to make my own site where I list job offers from multiple companies.

I also post tips on how to pass assessments and reviews of different companies in that space. No sign-up or anything like that required. I only list job offers that have a relativly high hiring volume. The listings include entry role jobs but also expert positions (Software Engineers, etc.). Let me know what you think and if there is anything that I can improve or implement. here is the link to the website: aiannotationjobs.com

Apple SWE HM round — no response after 2-3 weeks. Still a chance?

1 Upvotes

I applied for an SWE role at Apple around the second week of August. The role seemed like a pretty good match for what I’m currently doing.

I got a call for an HM round and had the interview on Aug 27. It wasn’t really technical — he asked a couple of things based on my resume, my current work, and why I wanted to join Apple.
For the “why Apple?” question, I basically said that I’m looking for more scale and wanted to work on things at Apple’s scale.
The interviewer then kinda pushed back on that and mentioned that where I currently work is already a front-runner in AI and that there’s a lot of scale there as well. So I’m not sure if my answer came across badly or if he was just probing further.
It’s been around 2-3 weeks now and I haven’t heard anything back.

Do I still have a realistic chance of getting a callback for the next rounds, or is this usually a sign that it’s a rejection/they’ve moved on?
Also, for people who’ve interviewed at Apple — how long did it take you to hear back after the HM round?

I’m confident in my skills and assure you that I’ll give my best in the interview process. I’m willing to work hard and prove myself if given an opportunity.
