Hi, I have to bring someone in for a day op at the Beacon around midday and have to be ready to pick them up about 6pm.
Since I live up the top of Meath, it's almost pointless driving home and back again so was wondering if there is any coworking spaces around Sandyford that charge by the day or by the hour?
Thanks!
Looking over the top companies in Ireland, I've applied for a few places. Recently I got to the phone screen stage in Stripe which I thought I did pretty well in, unfortunately I didn't get the offer, but it hit way harder than it should've and that's purely for the fact that I would have been expecting a 6 figure salary (total compensation) going in. For a new grad that's just insane to me. Apple and Workday for example are paying well at somewhere around 60-70k which is nowhere near 100k.
I understand a competitive salary, but I think money like that for new grads is just unheard of in Ireland, so I don't feel the need. Are they trying to grab the top talent that might be emigrating out of the country or similarly people looking for the tippity top of graduate work in Europe? I'm just constantly mulling this interview over in my head because the opportunity cost is just so large, like I'll have to wait a year if I want another shot at this kind of money. It probably wasn't meant to be anyways but still doesn't feel great.
I could be wrong about these salaries of course but I can't find anyone reporting a total comp of less than 100k for L1 positions in Stripe for Ireland. Little small addendum question I'm curious about: is there any other entry level positions that are paying this well? Thanks for any help
We are live as web app and as an iOS app and we are open to suggestions for the app improvement.
Let me say first that I'm not a coder, I'm a "data analyst". SQL, Python, dashboards, KPIs etc.
Anyway, my manager seems to be addicted to meetings. If he sees a spare gap in his calendar he needs to put a meeting there.
We have a daily 15 minute catchup meeting that often runs to 45 minutes. (only three people in this meeting including him.)
In each of these catchup meetings, he gives me 100 actions. It's like he was sitting on the toilet taking a shit and started thinking up of lots of "initiatives" and now I need to do them.
From what I can see, his job is to justify his existence. By filling his calendar with meetings and looking busy.
He drags the whole team (30+ people) to a weekly meeting about business updates, and about 10 times during the meeting he asks "Does anybody have any questions?" Total silence. It's very awkward. Nobody ever has any questions, even my super intelligent Einstein colleagues. A fellow manager chimes in and asks some bullshit question. (I used to do this too when I was a manager in another company).
I started working on one dashboard in Power BI. He said "let's make a fortnightly meeting about the updates on this dashboard. I'll set it up."
He dragged 10 Americans to this meeting. 8am their time. Wednesday at 8am. To listen to me saying "and now I put a new chart there. That's it.".
What? But it makes sense. His calendar was empty at that time. Now he looks busy.
Plz help. My idea is to get another job.
Is hybrid work here to stay? as in at most 3 days in the office. I'm a junior/early in career (a bit over 2 yoe) so my employment opportunities are more limited.
Currently I can work remotely or commute if I like, I enjoy commuting as I'm less than 15 minutes away and there's an awesome gym nearby so I try go atleast 3 days a week. Super handy etc etc, but I also pretty much live in a prison cell as a very temporary accommodation while I look to buy a place (exaggerating, very small room in friends house)
I'm looking at a house at the moment and its literally perfect, but it's 1 hour 5 minutes from my current place of work. and If I were to change jobs to somewhere like Meta or Google or whatever, further into the city its more like 1hr20 (or if traffic is particularly bad 1hr50 yeeesh)
I...think I can handle a 1hr commute each way if I'm only going in 2 or 3 days a week, plus this house is off the n81 and I ride a motorcycle so its a very enjoyable stretch of road that I'm on all the time anyways! But 5 days a week? over 10hours commuting in all weather (I do have a car but still)....yeesh. Idk.
