Comment on Fake job interviews target developers with new Python backdoor
PlantJam@lemmy.world 6 months agoBeing a developer at a non tech company is great. My role tends to blur between salesforce amin and developer, but that’s partly because of the small size of the company (less than 100 employees total, less than 10 in IT).

We’re a bigger company (publicly traded outside the US, thousands of employees), but we’re a manufacturer, so most of the headcount is blue collar. Our department is medium sized (about 30 full time, plus about 20 from outside firms), so it feels like a smallish company with large company benefits.
It’s a nice niche. It doesn’t pay as well as the big tech companies, but I almost never work more than 8 hours and frequently less. It’s pretty chill and has great work/life balance. I work in office 2x/week and remote the other two days.
It’s a pretty decent gig, but definitely seemed sketchy when I joined (I was like the fifth FT employee, so most of the headcount was in another hemisphere). No regrets, but I was watching my paychecks pretty closely for a month or so to make sure they didn’t pull anything weird (to be fair, I was hired full remote during COVID).
