Exactly; there was a oped w/ similar voice in NYT about a week ago. US Pharm companies are losing the ability to fix prices on their preferred generics, so they're switching to fear PR to promote their 'premium generics.'


you are a godsend; this is so clear!


Someone who values learning over dominance; the more you learn, the more junior you'll feel.


Learning is a sign of growth, not a sign of weakness.

If a senior developer remains stagnant, they'll quickly fall behind.


I would be inclined to say leave immediately, find a new job and rate them negatively on glassdoor. It seems like it's a bit too early for them to not have the financial foresight to be able to pay you. Maybe after a year, but not after just being hired.

If you really care about the company, your role, and have over a year's worth of expendable savings, you could try to convince them that a partnership with an equity stake is a better form of payment for both parties. Good luck though; sounds like they're scheisters.


Wow, fuck those guys; an 8-10 hour interview process with no feedback? Even if you do receive feedback, I wouldn't take it seriously. This interview sounds abusive and unprofessional, but hey, they wouldn't have done it if they didn't find applicants.


Find companies you want to work for, then look on glassdoor for salaries.

Location + tech stack determine your salary and there is no single answer. If you find comparative salaries to your skill set you can pretty much ask for that, refuse to go lower and get the salary you want.


Unless you own a super common word or group of words as .com; it doesn't make too much of a difference. Only enthusiasts will use a smaller service, regardless of its usefulness and will be ok googling for a domain or entering a less common TLD. Wait to see if it develops and if it does, use your profits to buy the right domain for more casual consumers.

I'd say best you can do is make your site https and responsive and make sure you have all relevant SEO data to increase its indexing performance.


Got it. Yeah, I figured. I suppose the only time this could be an issue is through word-of-mouth. I tell someone its 'awesomedomain.co" and they'll type in "awesomedomain.com" after a couple of days - but hopefully they'll just type it into google anyway.


Sketch article + sketch pharma company who pays the best agencies to advertise amphetamines with wide uses. This post needs to go.

They got nearly all of their patients to convert to Nuvigil from Provigil after it went off patent; not sure why they're trying to generate interest in their old meds again. Maybe they're the most available maker.


Just to be clear: the drug in question (Modafinil) is not an amphetamine, and has very different effects than amphetamines even though they are used for the same reasons (enhancing focus when tired).

No; you can learn anything on your own online, but it's easier through the structure from school. If you're paying for school yourself, however, you'll be in a much better financial position learning cs on your own.
