Il y a des trucs un peu discutables dans l'article, mais aussi des trucs intéressants. Et ce passage là typiquement est assez triste …

First, most recruiters don’t care about your personal projects or how many meetups you went during the year. What matters the most is your current company - and by that I mean the name of your current company.

We’ve been talking about your employer as an abstraction, but in the instant case you’re talking to an actual person. Let’s call him Bob. It is Bob’s job to get you signed with the company as cheaply as possible, but Bob is not super motivated to do so, because Bob is not spending Bob’s money to hire you. Bob is spending Bob’s budget. Bob generally does not get large performance incentives for shaving money off of his hiring budget: you get a new Macbook if you convince Bob to give you $5k extra, but Bob gets (if he is anomalously lucky) a dinner at TGIFridays if he convinces you to take $5k less. In fact, there are many organizations (and Bobs) for whom power, status, and money come from asking for more budget every year. If you turn out to be on the expensive side, that is great for Bob, because a) he manages a high-powered peon so he must be a high-powered manager and b) this will help Bob get more budget next quarter.

C’est fou de voir à quel point ça n'a pas pris une ride.

Grâce à une très bonne résistance au stress, vous êtes capable, même en situation tendue, de traiter plusieurs tâches complexes en parallèle.

Ouais en gros c'est plus «ingénieur exploité» le titre correct du poste …

On interviewing.io (though I wouldn’t be surprised if this finding extrapolated to the qualified engineering population at large), impostor syndrome plagues interviewees roughly twice as often as Dunning-Kruger. Which, I guess, is better than the alternative.

Je note ce site au passage.

Saloperie de code du travail qui empêche les entreprises de licencier et rend les gens fainéants !
Ah bah non.

On ferait mieux de fermer les formations fantaisistes comme l'ENA et ouvrir des formations débouchant sur des vrais jobs, comme les métiers du cirque !
