IT jobs lingo decoded:

• “We’re like a family” = no boundaries & call at midnight

• “Fast-paced” = chaos everywhere

• “Self-starter” = zero support for anything

• “Team player” = unpaid overtime & get ready to work on all holidays including weekends

• “Competitive salary” = below industry average

• “Nimble” = drop everything & work on my problem

• “Flexible work hours” = starting time is fixed but don’t think of leaving early

What else?

@nixCraft Don't forget:
"Many hats" = Nobody knows what's going on for anything, and that's going to include you, who will be held accountable.

"Hybrid" = You'll be in the office 5 days a week regardless.

"Startup-like Environment" = All of the above.

There are certainly more that I've personally encountered, but you've covered a lot of them.

@derek @nixCraft Na. "hybrid" == all weekdays in the office. Sat/Sun you can choose where to work from.
