what a weird thing to emulate. player coaching is super rare and there were very few good ones in the last 40 years.

why not, managers should be like left handed specialist relievers, they come in for a short time to handle a specific issue and otherwise let the team alone

How is that possible ? Doesn't h1b have to pay within a set range of wages?

Every h1b role I see posted at my bank pays more than I make so I don't get the lower paid comments

LGA does it way better, but the walk is a bit longer.

in our app each user polls for a resource availability every 5 mins. do we really need "connection successful" 500x per minute? i dont see this as breaking up the logs into smaller sections. i see it as noise. i'd much rather have a ton of "connection failed" whenever that occurs than the "success" constantly

if you are asking candidates to complete a take home you should provide at least a partial rubric of how the project will be evaluated.

if you can't provide that then i think you haven't created one, and if you haven't created one i'm guaranteed to be wasting my time because you're just doing vibe interviewing.
