hating on k8s is very in vogue currently. simpler systems like ECS exist and are really good too.

anybody bitching too hard about the tools today isn’t remembering 10 years ago correctly.

this is a conversation you usually have before the technical stuff. you’re making sure your ideal pay and their band is in sync.

being pushy early in the process is terrible advice.

even then, a position may not be for a certain level so they’re can be a fairly wide band of pay depending on how the interview goes.

i think most folks vastly overthink it. just ask for the money you want to make. either it’s in the ballpark or it’s not. all this “don’t say a number first” stuff is bullshit imo.

you definitely do want to know if your desired pay matches their range though. that’s very important.
