In this episode, Dave and Jamison answer these questions along with special guest Jonathan Cutrell::
\\n\\nI\\u2019ve been job hunting while employed (gasp), and I have a number of opportunities that have advanced to the in-person interview. Most of the requests I\\u2019ve seen have said that they\\u2019ll be 4-5 hours in the office (which seems fairly typical).
\\n\\nThe problem is that I don\\u2019t have unlimited vacation, and I feel dishonest taking so many days off. How can I navigate new opportunities without disrespecting them, or completely failing in my current responsibilities?
\\nHey guys, great show (though I think, as with all shows, it could probably use more discussion of badgers [yes, I said badgers!]).
\\n\\nI\\u2019m about to start a new job (I took the time-honored and hallowed show advice, though I\\u2019m leaving on great terms with my old job) and will be coming in as that fanciest of newly-invented titles in software, Staff Software Engineer. This is the only third time I\\u2019ve started a new job [not counting odd jobs in high school and college], and I\\u2019ve never stepped into a leadership role before when starting. What are the most helpful things you\\u2019ve done or seen other engineers do when joining a team in a technical leadership role?
\\n\\nThanks!
