Product managers do do a lot of project management, but the other half of the job is figuring out the right features or capabilities for the engineers to build by talking with customers, doing data analysis, and hammering out strategy with other teams. That part will probably grow as project management gets more automated.

For graphs like this, it'd be good to compute an average and sort by that rather than by one of the values.

Haha who knows

Thank you! this is from the NOAA RAP weather model (so its not collected from actual ground observations like NOHRSC but rather predictions generated across a 14km grid)

I am pretty sure that map is not accounting for a lot of train lines that I don't see represented. Also, there is a huge network of bus lanes for medium and long distances.

I don't know how they have done it but in other countries train lines are continous lines while in Spain are just dots.

Because Switzerland had no other option, Spain has longer routes through plains.

That map of Spain is not accounting for a lot of train and bus lines.

Would also be interesting to see the public transport network in the capital/largest city in each of these countries.

You can clearly see the boundaries between different public transport operators, which means different GTFS providers. I work in the field and for the area in my agency, I can clearly see on your map the networks for which we provide GTFS as open data and the ones we don't. But it is also clear in other areas of Italy just looking at the map.

Go Poland! Keeping cars alive

Yup. Right now Germany looks way denser than for example Belgium, but I bet that if you put them at similar scales it's more likely to be the other way around.

It isn’t that bad, there was some overlap but each one had a specific topic as well. One interviewer focused on my stats knowledge, one on my epidemiology, one on the more soft skills / personality fit, etc.

Having been hired and now sat on the other side of multiple similar interviews, it’s in large part to make sure the candidate gets good face time with most of the team members they will be working with.

Now, the one that did piss me off was the employer I interviewed at right before landing my current job. I went through the first 30 minute manager screen, then the second round “full circuit” including a 1 hr presentation by me (4-5 hours total over 1-2 days), AND THEY GHOSTED ME. I even sent an email to two different interviewers in the following weeks, the first one asking for any update, and the second one just asking for feedback on how I might improve (since I clearly did not impress them). No response. Fuck you, NanoString.

Just want to clarify why I used the term Great Britain - because the visual in the link doesn't include Northern Ireland.

I agree that Belgium's size makes it easier to have higher public transport density though!

Me thinking back fondly on getting hired during my first interview ... over the phone. Been 9 years.

Very interesting maps, thank you! I'm from Germany but never realised that we kinda are a bit privileged with the amount of public transport. We like to complain about it a lot. And I mean a lot. Not to say it's not necessary to complain but compared to other countries, I'm surprised!

With enough cameras and drones it will be able to. Also most projet managers dont spend much time on site, or even have a site. talking more tech and that sort of development.

Most of them I heard back was due to networking and referrals

AI can project manage a building site?

Yeah those are all interviews after the recruiter screen

we usually do

1. screening interview, 15min. Sorting out the creeps, checking availability and all the base things like general salary expectations etc.

2. motivation, Teamfit etc interview and

3. „technical“ interview.

each is usually with a different person. It makes sense, maybe you have a 4th but imho then you really start wasting everybodys time.

In small firms it isn't unusual for the team to get you to meet basically everyone else you're going to be working with before starting though. Especially in finance (eg. small private equity funds).

This is not unusual for someone with a FAANG/MANGA company on their resume.
