python is usually the next step up in admin land

python is a pretty standard install on linux systems since so many things like you're talking about use it

Like others said: sql, sql, sql. The syntax is probably easier than excel, but a lot of people stink at it because they don't want to invest in the spatial reasoning required to make it work magic, and that opens doors to easy opportunity.

If you can get into a position like reporting or data quality, and be "that person" that fixes a dreaded slow query to make it run in milliseconds instead of minutes, then you'll get your proverbial blank check to go where you want. Those queries exist in just about every business.

Take a look around for "sql portfolio projects" for more complete stuff that goes beyond tutorials.

tldr is great. I can't stand --help output that drones on like Proust.

18 months is the Holmes limit at Bank of America and Wells Fargo - they terminate you and let you know when you start that it's going to happen. It's normal in fintech. But don't change without a funded and secured offer.

I can think of surgeon examples but I've never heard of Recruiters Without Borders. Unless it's just CapGemini

Fintech is easy to deal with in this regard.

"do you have code samples you can share?"

"would you be happy if an employee interviewed elsewhere and used your codebase for work samples?"

I had to learn to be my own PM and do the whole task grooming bit. Checking things off gamified the process.

Right-clicking and inspecting the end of it is interesting. It's like html waltz

Often, it boils down to one common problem: Too much client-side JavaScript. This is not a cost-free error. One retailer realized they were losing $700,000 a year per kilobyte of JavaScript, Russell said.

“You may be losing all of the users who don’t have those devices because the experience is so bad,” he said.

They just didn't link to the one retailer's context. But it's "bring back old reddit" energy directed at everything SPA-ish.

edit to give it a little personal context: I was stuck on geosat internet for a little while and could not use amazon's site across the connection. I'm not sure if they're the retailer mentioned. But the only way I could make it usable was to apply the ublock rule *.images-amazon.com/*.js^ described here.

What really stunk about it was that if you're somewhere where geosat is/was the only option, then you're highly dependent on online retail. And knowing how to manage ublock rules is not exactly widespread knowledge.
