so i heard back from the commodity trader and its a no thank you. fuck!. am still in the running at the asset manager and whilst i thought the interview went quite well, you never can tell and i could get blown out of that one as well.
today was really shit at my current job. the other people have been there a decade and just have no concept of what it might be like for new starters. they just blast through the explanations in a very superficial manner seemingly unwilling or unable to explain concepts of architectures or how software and components function.
i know i am not the only one of the 4 new starters that is struggling. the guy in Pittsburgh also expressed frustration and the guy in Dallas has gone a bit quiet and i think one of the new guys in India is not up to speed either. its been a shitshow since the first day i started. the recruiter was clueless, the HR was incompetent and the technical department i am in has its head up its own ass. For 4 consecutive days i have asked for a few minutes of time with one of the existing techies to go through a particular technical setup and each time he has said he will call me that day and he has not done so.
they are so staggeringly unhelpful. if you are going to be rude and dismissive to your new colleagues, at least get to know them first and be so for a reason. these people are on that setting by default.
fuck it, i dont care. if the asset manager comes through, great, and if it does not i will still keep looking and hopefully something comes up in the new year. i spoke to one of the guys based in manchester who also expressed frustration with getting information from our team, and he has been there 18 months. nope, i am not going to bang my head against the wall working with people like that in my team for 18 months. i will get something somewhere eventually.
