  • And the answer is"What is the Poisson Distribution" Alex.

    There is literally a distribution that describes the occurences of low probability events in large populations. It was developed to study deaths by horse kick in the Prussian army. So confidence intervals never come into it. You're applying Stats for Communications Majors reasoning to an adult problem.

  • Holy shit that's low. I was asking for £35k in 2004 for a technical role. They wanted to pay 17.

    Jump

  • I was a civil servant. The hiring bands were pretty wide well defined there, at least for technical specialists like yours truly. The 50-60% of max range is considered developmental and would normally be given to an internal candidate who was being groomed as part of a succession plan. 60-80% is the sweet spot, and they will go to 90% for an exceptional candidate. Only once in my career did I negotiate 100% of max - and it was because I was taking a pay cut in the new role. I was changing jurisdictions because I was ( and still am) in love.

  • 100% this. This is pretty classy. We are typically told to not even contact external candidates. HR will send them the impersonal notice.

    Jump

  • I feel like the numbers matter here. I recently moved jobs and the posted salary was the full range for the role. The hiring range is a narrower slice of that range. The range below the hiring target is internal development space. The space above is ..well they don't want to use it. They want a couple years of salary increase to keep you from immediately starting your next job search I think. lol.

  • Are you telling me that 35,000 vehicles is not a sufficient sample size to assess safety? Are you for real?

  • I have only ever seen the clothesline/lariat as a combination move: throw your opponent into the ropes, leap into the ropes on the short side, and you extend the arm as you pass each other.

  • You can draw conclusions because there's only 35,000 on the road. That is a terrible rate.

  • Are you asking about effective plantings to attract butterflies? In that case we need more information like your approximate location and hardiness zone. Or is this a whimsical question.

  • I understand this 100%. My father imagined himself to be a character and the life of the party. He would dress like a biker no matter the affair. He had been a systems analyst on big iron.

    • if you work night shifts, do you have a life? Are you healthy?

    Jump

  • I worked 3rd (23:00-07:00) shift for years and really enjoyed it. Shift premium was great, workload was low. Almost no management in place (hospital). I'd socialize in the evening and then go to work after. Didn't have any problem sleeping during the day. It's also true that I was a bachelor so no kids or pets depending on me.
