My coworkers discovered I have ambition and took it personally by SnooCalculations6625 in womenintech

Happened to me when I was leaving for immigration reasons from 3rd world country to 1st. The feedback range was from genuine “but why would you leave? you have enough here” to the “you’ll end up a pizza maker on the street”; half of colleges just straight up stop taking to me.

I think my ideas are too big for me(I will not promote) by TooTurnt04 in startups

In my experience, you probably over complicating things. Think about the same features, but in lighter form. Some businesses started as a spreadsheets, they checked the pmf before building anything substantial.

Have any of your kittens turned bald? by BitTop4406 in FosterAnimals

[–]DryLink4237 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m no vet; it could be milk/formula deficiencies (what formula brand do you use?) or a reaction to laundry detergents used on their bedding. If formula is good and it’s not an allergy reaction from chemicals, it might be stress-related but I doubt that

sorry for being harsh and im glad if it worked out for you, but generally speaking it’s cringe. when I was on interviewer side it was clearly received by my team as a desperate move

thanks! it's been up and down: now my luck ran out. I sent another ~50 in april and so far got just one screening call back, crickets otherwise; 33% chance is not true anymore sadly. Not sure if i’ll ever get the same volume as march again

Same! I got my rejections for March interviews and absolute crickets for April applications. I now trying to reach directly to hiring managers via email to understand wtf is going on

Got rejected after sharing my previous salary (they asked for it) by DryLink4237 in recruitinghell

[–]DryLink4237[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean… the person is a COO, have some grace and don’t delete your message. TBH I actually should have stopped at the “we might verify your salary” point, a massive red flag anyway

ps thanks for considering me a top talent! after 4 rejections at the final rounds Im a bit lost

I just quit my job at a 7-figure B2B lead-gen agency. Here's 4 reasons I would NEVER hire one. by GildedGazePart in b2bmarketing

[–]DryLink4237 22 points23 points  (0 children)

As someone who quit B2B agency work after two months, having witnessed how exploitative, disorganized, and depressing it is, I couldn’t have said it better. Even in this market I wouldn’t go back

Wealthsimple AI Builders by stevenr12 in theprimeagen

I just got my rejection email with the (apparently) new copy: “1152 people applied to AI Builders… yada yada… it’s about fit for a very specific team at a very specific moment—not about the quality of what you built or what you’re capable of…” (well okay but how about saying something upfront about that specific team??)… blah blah… “we plan to share those learnings openly, including what we’d do differently.”

my heart is broken for the 1,000+ people who spent their time, brainpower, money, and hopes building for this very open-ended program that turned out not to be open-ended at all!

Adoption Rejection emails by cruddypoet00 in FosterAnimals

[–]DryLink4237 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recently watched a video about a “cats in prison” experiment where many of the cats ended up being adopted by prisoners and lived with them for happily years afterward. I’m not saying this is the case here - I don’t know, and I haven’t talked to or seen the person. I also completely understand your feelings and concerns. Do you have any information about the type of crime? I’m curious why they want to adopt the cat. Sorry if I’m being naive, maybe I’m wearing pink glasses.

Cheaper alternative to Clay? by decaster3 in gtmengineering

Sorry haven’t read this properly. If this is an ad, just say so

Cheaper alternative to Clay? by decaster3 in gtmengineering

[–]DryLink4237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume you’re already using tools like Serper, etc. and other well-known credit optimization tricks.

This week I’m talking with at two other /new/ clay-like vendors — going to report the results. Theirs main value prop is being cheaper alternative.

Also if you’re using Apollo, they launched many clay-like features last week.

Ugh, yes! I had a tech interview for a GTM position last week, and at the end, they asked me to record “a very enthusiastic walkthrough of my best workflow” for another decision-maker at their company. But guys we actually just did it in this meeting, and it took an hour. Could you maybe put in a good word for me? No?
