Product hunt doesn't matter. Sell directly to people 1:1 for your first 10 customers.

I'm curious what your resume looks like and how you articulate the value you provide. I've used the same approach but recently haven't been as successful as I have in the past.

Checkout Dr. K’s thoughts on this: https://youtube.com/watch?v=3y5p7V05xls - one key takeaway is to strive to understand the knowledgeable sustainably. Avoid starting out with the intention of being the best.

Curious, what outcome are you trying to achieve by syncing them?

I’m actually building exactly this. It’s a simple on-call and incident management platform that covers many of your frustrations since I’ve had the same ones. I’d love to talk to you about it and get your feedback on my progress so far if you’re interested.

Ok...Would love to know more about what is out there. The problem with current alerting solutions like PagerDuty, they are every extensive in terms of what they offer (scheduling, reliability, etc) but not quite tailored towards needs of on-call engineer to easily tag something or for management to get a view which alerts/incidents need attention.

Even xMatter which my wife's team use but never login as it crashes frequently and prefer to debug through logs :P

Do you have an email I could reach you at? I’d like to share what I’m thinking the solution looks like and hear more about the challenges you’ve faced.

I totally agree that the tools which exist today cater towards the buyer. That is, the people with purchasing power who typically aren’t on-call. I’m building with a focus on the on-call experience for the people who are actually on call.

I just stood up my landing page if you want to keep up to date: https://simpleoncall.com/.

Thanks for the link. It doesn't have much details. I have signed up though. Looking forward for getting more details about the solutions.

The link doesn’t appear to work

The interviews are not nearly as brutal as private industry. You'll have two technical ones, the first is a coding question on collabedit (easy string-related question). The second is more abstract and focuses on your ability to explain complex topics in easy-to-digest ways as well as evaluating trade-offs between proposed solutions / patterns / practices.

Then you'll have a behavioral one in which you'll be probed on your previous projects and experiences. These are best answered in the STAR format.

Also be sure you can pass the SF-86 without any major red flags. Checkout /r/securityclearance for more details.

Thank you so much! This was the level of detail I was looking for.

How long did your post-offer process take? Specifically the background check process.

Mine was quick because I'm boring and got lucky, but I've heard of it taking months.
