Weekly Tech Notes #12: Salary negotiation

Hey people! 👋

After the summer break, we are back even more motivated than before! 💪

This week’s video is about the three types of probes in Kubernetes: startup, liveness and readiness. As a refresher, the three probes answer the following questions:

• Startup probe: is the container started?
• Liveness probe: should the container be restarted?
• Readiness probe: should the container accept traffic?

The speaker then goes through the differences among them and how to avoid committing some common mistakes that would result in production problems.

But now back to the readings and since September is the month of new beginnings, some of you might probably start to look for a new job, so here are some resources that might help you in the process:

• How to sabotage your salary negotiations efforts before you even start – An overview of how the job search process looks like with some common mistakes you should avoid.
• Exactly what to say when recruiters ask you to name the first number… and other negotiation word-for-words – A more practical guide on how to negotiate your salary.
• Ten Rules for Negotiating a Job Offer – And another practical guide on negotiation and why you should always do it.
• How to pass a coding interview with me – A general cheat sheet containing 22 tips about how to pass a programming challenge.

And that’s it for this week! 👋
