I'm in healthcare more so medical devices tech. Started in July 2024, there's been 1 round of layoff and termination of a few contractors

I wanted to do this a couple years ago, couldn't get in the door tho,, I wanted to get out of IT

stryker did call me back one day years ago, they invited me to a hiring convention or some shyt,,, I didn't go and said fukk it

This bytch said she felt better when she found out 24 other people were laid off with her. :mjlol: You stupid bytch, you don't say that out loud. We all would think the same shyt but you don't say it. And she's so clueless she never realized her faux pas. She's young though so she'll get back on her feet eventually but she definitely needs a bit more self awareness.

she was truly relieved in body and spirit when the lady said more people was let go,, she was like :mjlol:

She just seems really sheltered in most of her videos. Calling up her mortgage company a week after being laid and before missing any payments. They aren't gonna do anything unless you're behind on payments. And finally going over her monthly expenses and claiming she won't give up her pilates class.
:snoop:

I know her only source of income is from channel views now. But there is only so much stupidity I can take. So I had to unsubscribe. I hope she figures it out

I'm still 100% remote though I negotiated that before covid. I would say tech in healthcare might be the move for people wanting full remote but be warned, Healthcare comes with a completely different level of stress that may not be worth it for most.
For a non-profit health care company, my company is 600 people deep and we have 9 staff members in IT. We are OK, for now

"What is ......?" questions are disrespectful, I always took offense to such questions.


In regards to technical interviews, they should ask scenario-based, behavioral-based questions.

Tell me about a time you had to...?
Describe a time when you....?
Give me an example of when you had to....?
How would you....?
Can you describe your experience in....& its impact on....?
What improvements have you made to...?
How have you addressed challenges in...?
Tell us about a .....project you led and its impact on....?
What strategies have you used to align ...., ....., ...., to improve ......?
Can you walk us through a major ........ project you worked on?
How do you measure success of ......?

Update: They moved me to the next round! interview with the VP of global Sec...Interviewing with three directors and making it to the final round is great since the vp interview should have been before the technical

I need to get out of my current role bad lol. I am dreading anymore traveling and want more work life balance to focus on my health

I believe I am 99.99999% safe in my position. That said, I gotta get credentialed up and keep pushing. This cracked ass Presidential administration has belt tightening happening industrywide when it already belt-tightened over the past couple of years for the super-well paying positions.
