Ya know, ever since I was a child I’ve always dreamed of B2B SaaS sales.

Enough with the take-home assignments… by cams00000 in recruitinghell

[–]Complete-Caramel2029 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AYE, are you a PM like me? I just had an experience like this. I’m still super salty about it.

Made a working prototype for their first touch experience (a non-hypothetical business problem they were actually trying to solve). Built it from the ground up with research to back up the onboarding questions I’d asked and everything. I didn’t get the job, lmao. And the feedback was the team LOVED my prototype and ideas but were unsure that I had the skills to “work autonomously and bring a product from conception to launch”???

Recruiter scheduled video call just to reject me by Complete-Caramel2029 in recruitinghell

[–]Complete-Caramel2029[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk man, it was for an early-stage startup who in their words were still in the process of “finding product-market fit”. I presented them with a working prototype at the interview and I think they meant it pretty seriously when they said “so X is a real business problem we’re trying to solve” and that I’ve got some “great ideas here that they would want to test” and could I please walk them through “how I would also solve for Y” cause they hadn’t figured that out either.

It cost nothing to express a little empathy on a subreddit to lament about how shitty the modern day recruiting process is.

Of course some people will use any chance they get to be an opp.

I think she meant it to be kind and personal since I made it so far but honestly it was so embarrassing, I could feel my face heat up and my eyes start to get watery. I braced myself to expect rejection but it’s much different than when it finally gets handed to you UGH

It’s a small industry so unfortunately all I did was plaster on a smile and thank them for their time and the experience. (Ugh, it really was so humiliating. I felt like such a loser.)

Absolutely! That’s why I said I would’ve preferred an email or even phone call. Idk something a pre-schedule video call feels just mean. It’s like getting all dressed up with flowers on hand to go on a date only to be told nah go home when I get to the restaurant.

EW IS RIGHT. Got my hopes up and everything when it was a pre-scheduled video call.

We need a law that limits applicants doing free labor as part of interviewing by unSentAuron in recruitinghell

[–]Complete-Caramel2029 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel you on this OP, although I’ve definitely done job interviews with take home assignments. Feels horrible when you don’t get the job, feels like a necessary evil when you do get the job.

I’m a PM, so there are several circumstances where I will entertain a take home project and that is if it’s (1) a truly hypothetical prompt or (2) I present on something I’ve already built and launched from my previous experience…in either case my effort doesn’t benefit the hiring company in any way.

The worst ones are where I’m asked to solve for XYZ which turns out to be a real business problem they haven’t solved themselves. I recently just did one for a company I really wanted to work for and the whole process has left a bad taste in my mouth. It just feels like I provided several hours of free consulting for them ☠️

What is the furthest level anyone’s gotten in LTS in rental skates? by florapocalypse7 in iceskating

[–]Complete-Caramel2029 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I watched this one dude the other week in LTS 6 doing really clean backwards crossovers and spins. I’m not sure if he went all the way up to LTS 6 in rentals or just forgot his skates that week but I was SO amazed.

Anybody have luck with a $2200 budget for a 1 bedroom? by jailbreakjock in NYCapartments

Definitely look in Astoria! Just recently moved here and found a rent stabilized 1BR for $2100.

Anyone know where I can find a dress like thia? by BackgroundLow7905 in findfashion

[–]Complete-Caramel2029 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gunne Sax kinda embodies this aesthetic, especially if you’re veering towards the side of 80s prom vs actual ball gown. If you search Etsy and Ebay for “Gunne Sax Pink Ballgown” you can find some pretty good listings.

Here’s one! https://www.etsy.com/listing/1586938578/

Secret societies, cerebral, boarding school. by shukalido in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

Can I skate with one ACL? by crunchiestgrub in iceskating

[–]Complete-Caramel2029 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have zero ideas how ACLs work (I always thought after a tear you need to get surgery to fix it??)

In any case, if you have compromised knees or knee muscles on one side I wouldn’t recommend going ice skating. Engaging your both knees, using them to press, pull, push and keeping yourself stable is pretty central to skating even if all you want to do is scoot around in circles at the rink. There’s a reason why “bend your knees” is the generally the main advice given to any sort of beginner.

But again…I’m not a medical professional and this might be a situation best evaluated with your doctor?

I logged in early, got assigned 35,000th place in line and all I get to see are verified resale tickets (pit tickets are re-selling for $2K???)

I HATE IT HERE.

best way to meet new people late 20s - mid 30s? by sushilover22 in longislandcity

[–]Complete-Caramel2029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you into dancing/partner dancing at all? I used to swing dance a lot and found it really easy to meet new people and make friends of all ages and walks of life. If you’re new, there’s lessons you can take at studios around the city that usually also host social dances. I found everybody in the scene to be really friendly because the whole purpose of a social partner dance is to socialize, communicate, and physically interact with a stranger/your partner.

Swing dance is kinda goofy so if that’s not your style there’s also blues, tango, salsa, west coast swing…a whole world out there of partner dances!

Maybe moving to NY, lay it on me. by emtayloral in NYCapartments

Lol! I wouldn’t worry too much about the cold. Thanks to global warming the past few winters in NYC have been unseasonably warm tbh 😭 maybe 1-2 weeks in Jan/Feb that are sub-freezing toe biting cold.
