@rklau “chief space data officer” would be a better title.

@carlmalamud one lesson I learned in my brief tenure in government: the title on your card need not be the title on your duty statement. 🤔

@rklau I am a huge fan of munging the job title into something useful.

@carlmalamud @rklau very early in fp's life, i used CEO. that made sense when the co had a growing team but less so after the spring '00 crash + the a-round flameout.

i went w/ founder after that.

@rklau Any teacher will do here. We’ve been forced to wallow in the data for so long that it’s second nature.

@rklau yes but applying over the internet for a senior role like it was an internship makes one question the sanity of the organization not to mention being a timewaster for anyone with a job and something better to do

@smokeygeo @rklau yeah the USA gov needs better hiring practices, but when the not is this leaky it’s better to Rico’s on the what’s making it sink instead of the shape of the rudder

@rklau working in government can be amazing and very trying. Make sure you know what you’re getting into. In my tenure I found life long friends and I fire able managers that needed to get out. Still glad I did it

@rklau Great job, but that pay scale? Just hired a data engineer in Ohio and already above the low range of this role! #data

@ShellyBramer yep. Government tends not to be where you go if you’re optimizing for comp.
Show threadShellyFeb 7, 2023
@rklau True, but still. It's like teacher pay: too low for the value returned

@KrazyTheeAlaskan @rklau LOL. That might be a wee bit out of my abilities. As an order of magnitude out of my qualifications. And the wrong state. But I could probably do the job with enough on the job training. :)
