North Koreans stole Americans' identities and took remote-work tech jobs at Fortune 500 companies, DOJ says
  • Absolutely ran into fake CVs and people farming off the interview to 3rd party interview factories. Not at all surprised this was happening. Can't say I ran into North Koreans but a lot of recruitment agencies were passing people on with little to no vetting. You'd interview someone on camera and they'd be a different person once everything was signed. Given how hard it was to correct that they'd still walk away with a few weeks salary, even in your states with at will contracts it's super difficult to let anyone go.

  • Any of you folks around before epoch need a new job?

  • It's a shortcut for experience, but you lose a lot of the tools you get with experience. If I were early in my career I'd be very hesitant relying on it as its a fragile ecosystem right now that might disappear, in the same way that you want to avoid tying your skills to a single companies product. In my workflow it slows me down because the answers I get are often average or wrong, it's never "I'd never thought of doing it that way!" levels of amazing.

  • Bare trusts are exempt from trust reporting requirements for 2023 - Canada.ca
  • What a shambles. I have a T3 now which means I now know I needed a T3, previous to that it was still unclear so I just had to wait. After reading this article I'm still unclear on what bare trusts are. They could use some helpful examples or a diagram.

  • XXX
  • I'm a lefty but my teachers never knew how to handle a lefty so my handwriting is also illegible. I had to go do handwriting basics ("colour in the enclosed area of the A shape") in high school.

    So mileage may vary even if leftyism is tolerated. But look at me now teachers! I type obscure commands all day and get a sore hand when I pick up a pen! Checkmate!

  • The hater’s guide to Kubernetes
  • No yaml, no helm, no operators? Using Pulumi as a layer of abstraction but not using ingress because its a layer of abstraction?

    I don't know the equivalent in GCP, but in AWS this would be treating EKS like ECS. Missing out on 90% of the benefits of kubernetes by ignoring that 90%.

    But also, small company. Kubernetes is a better base to start from and expand from there.

  • Jordan Klepper Takes on Trump and Haley Supporters
  • Surely by now they must know who Jordan Klepper is. They must know that they're not going to present them in the best light. But they keep talking to him (great, keep this series going). Do they come out of these interviews thinking they did well and are helping spread the word?

    Also I'm not entirely sure they know what a King is, or a dictator. Bizarre how they might have read a lot of stories about Kings and Queen's, maybe from the bible, perhaps they even watched game of thrones, but want this for themselves? I get that they want this for others thinking that excludes them, but how do they make that link?

  • Taking for granted
  • From one person's experience (mine): They don't read CVs that closely. I've got a couple of 1 year jobs (not contracts) and they're more interested in what I did rather than why so short. If they ask I tell them it's because I didn't like the position but gave it a go for a year. I also have a 2 year gap in employment none of them are interested in for 4 jobs now, they don't even spot the missing years and I've had to point it out in interviews because it's a story of how I deal with big tasks.

    If they are that petty that they'll pass me over because of something like that then that employers policies would raise more flags than I'd want to deal with anyway.

    When hiring you have hundreds of CVs pass by, I'm looking for experience, we'll sort out these other details in the interview.

    Caveat: I am older now, more senior but never had issues finding work.

  • Taking for granted
  • Im pretty senior now, you'd pass me by and the most valuable thing I'd do is to reduce that learning time.

    I don't know what you do, but in my IT jobs I've seen  long onboarding times are due companies not focusing on their product, eg: a finance company writing their own authentication system, or maintaining someone's vanity project who has long since departed. Get rid of that and you can bring people in off the street.
