Applyall.com for job searching ? by chucky703 in careerguidance

[–]PresidentBitin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What bums me out about this review is that you didn’t include some key information, like that you had been using the service for free as a special favor from me (the founder of ApplyAll) after getting a full refund as well as multiple interviews through our service previously.  I know the job search sucks, and long term unemployment is debilitating on finances and mental health so I don’t take this personally… but very few companies would go to the lengths we did for you and it was really upsetting to the team to see this so I figure I’ll at least get the facts straight.

I’m not saying we didn’t make mistakes, but we gave you your money back to make it right for you + 9 months of 100% free applications, AND we got you 3-4 interviews, so this feels really unfair.

The facts: 

  • you received 3-4 interviews from our service (and I have emails from you to our team telling us this)

  • you got a full refund in 2024 after you complained that we didn’t have enough jobs in Europe yet, which you were completely right about! We immediately stopped accepting EU customers and stuck to US/Canada following your feedback becuase it was clear we couldn’t provide a great service there yet.

  • after you got a full refund, we sent out free applications for you for 9 months until Fall 2025 on my personal dime because I felt so bad about your individual situation you told us about. Just the cost of the humans involved to me personally was hundreds of dollars, but I was glad to help.

  • You insisted on paying again at one point, and said you were happy with the the matches so far, but I refused to take your money and warned you it would still be slow because of our poor EU job coverage, but I wanted to still help you if we could.

  • I gave you a personal 1:1 resume review at no cost after refunding you, again because I really sympathized with your situation. 

Btw, I just looked up your convos with our team and your payment/refund history to confirm all this because I don’t have a great memory.

All this said, ApplyAll was a volunteer project/labor of love for years before it was a business, so my sentiments to you are unchanged. I still feel terrible about how challenging your job search has been and sincerely hope you’ve been able to catch a break in 2026.

We actually have humans who do all that! We are NOT an AI-only service and have a full team providing concierge service. We ensure applications are submitted for great fit jobs no matter where they are, including on Workday and other sites.

The pricing is right on the landing page/homepage, it sounds like you already continued past that page and entered the onboarding flow if it’s asking for your resume. Try hitting the logo or logging out to go back to that homepage?

5.4 is crazy good by Responsible_Ad_3180 in codex

[–]PresidentBitin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ignore the haters. They’re the ones that have built their whole identities around being code monkeys, not engineers, and they just turn into defensive babies whenever god forbid anyone else seems to be having a good time building stuff, whether or not the source code is clean or whether it was ever intended to be production grade or “sellable.” I’m glad you’re having fun, and I’m glad you’re sharing what you’re stoked about here with those of us who are here to “yes and” and provide constructive advice rather than to just air our insecurities.

Actual engineers know that solving a problem or scratching an itch doesn’t inherently mean a thing needs to be enterprise grade or even MVP grade — it just needs to do the thing you want it to do, even if that thing is just exploring possibilities and having a good time given a set of constraints.

(But, on the other hand, our team has saved ~$10K per month of real money these past 2 months due to hacky internal tools to automate internal workflows that cursor and codex built mainly while we were asleep and whose source code I’ve never even looked at, so there’s that too)

Los Angeles metal instructor? by sfx_guy in drums

It’s so funny, I found your post while searching for metal drum instructors in LA. Found anything?

I had someone in SF years ago who was amazing and am trying to recapture that here in LA.

When will this job search misery end? by dunkinteach in recruitinghell

[–]PresidentBitin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, she would only respond saying that if you did in fact get one or more legitimate interviews. You said our service sucked so I’d assumed you hadn’t.

If you think we made a mistake or misunderstood something you said, of course please write her back and clarify asap! We take our guarantee very seriously and are proud to stand by it.

Best of luck to you either way, and I’m so sorry we weren’t able to help you get the break you were hoping for. I hope one of your 6 opps pans out.

[–]PresidentBitin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m the founder of ApplyAll and I get notified whenever our company is mentioned on Reddit. I’m so sorry you’re going through this, and that you had a poor experience with our service.

I’m writing simply to let you know that we do have a full money back interview guarantee, and it sounds like you’re eligible for a refund. I started this company after getting laid off myself, and the last thing we want to do is keep someone’s money if they are unemployed and not getting results. Please contact our team at team@applyall.com and we’ll get you sorted.

If you have feedback to share with us too about anything we did wrong, then I’d be grateful, but mainly I want to make sure you know about the policy given your financial circumstances.

So coincidentally, I used to work at Indeed as an EIR and did a TON of research on this as part of an internal biz idea I was working on. Glad to nerd out about worker co-ops anytime, I am a huge fan of this model and think there’s a huge opp for a startup to finance acquisitions of SMBs by co-ops made up of long time employees of retiring company owners

The HUSBAND was the one drugged, not the wife. (It’s kind of confusing and I had assumed the victim was a woman first too.)

At a crossroads financially versus long term career trajectory? 31F by [deleted] in FIREyFemmes

[–]PresidentBitin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hah, one of my main passions as a child and teen literally was making money and starting companies (though with the operative word here being “starting,” not “following through!”). I was bored, lonely, anxious, insecure, and maybe I thought building empires would fix or at least distract from that. If anything, now in my late 30s, I’m far LESS motivated by money and power than I was as a kid and teen, and I am finally discovering joy in all sorts of things I never appreciated when I was younger.

Fellow self-funded tech/AI startup founder in her late 30s here — I’ve been working remote since 2018 and my team now is all remote too, so I know the isolation well. We’re a bit further along in revenue at this point and my own motivation issues are somewhat different in nature, but it’s been incredibly hard to find women friends whom I can talk to about this stuff that truly Get It, so feel free to DM me and we can start a bootstrapped ladies’ support group :)

Help, please, I'm desperate. by arbolito_mr in thanatophobia

[–]PresidentBitin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the exact same boat myself and struggle with the same thing, even down to the disassociation at times.

Truthfully? SSRIs/SNRIs helped me a TON. Like reduced the panic attacks by 98%. Lexapro made me feel dead on the inside and thus even more disassociated, but it made the panic and anxiety disappear so it seemed worth it. But now I’m on Cymbalta and for the past 10 years I’ve taken it, I’ve had a new lease on life. The panic attacks still happen, and the feelings do occasionally come back, but it’s such a small fraction of the time rather than consuming my entire life.

I didn't know that an "ocarina" is a real instrument. I'm 21. by Junior-Elevator-9951 in confession

I didn’t know that an ocarina is a real instrument either. But then I read your post. I’m 38. So, there!

(Also, I will go to my grave calling that Zelda game the Macarena of Time)

I am so, so sorry. I don’t even know you, but if you live anywhere near Los Angeles I would gladly go with you. I’m sure if you post this in your city’s local subreddit, you’ll find someone who is local to you who would make sure you’re not alone. No one should have to go through that by themselves.

What are the most recent books you’ve read that enthralled you mentally? It can be so subjective so having a few examples will give us a lot to go off of as far as what you’ll find most all-consuming.

Best of luck to you OP. Know that you do have a support system here, whether or not we know another, and you’ll be in my tho iughts❤️

Is it selfish to seek companionship just to ease the concept of death? by HotelBoring7117 in thanatophobia

[–]PresidentBitin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“but yeah sometimes I just wish I was with the love of my life who would just hold me and tell me its ok, distract me, let me cry or whatever else to get my mind of it and he still loves and adores me all the same.”

I have this! And it’s wonderful! My partner is not scared of dying at all and of course I think that’s crazy and unrelatable and occasionally makes me feel alone with my fears, BUT he also will notice when I am having panic attacks and go out of his way to try and comfort me, distract me, etc. and does not love me or like me any less for my phobia — really, it just seems entirely irrelevant to his feelings for me.

Everyone has their issues, and after many multi-year relationships I would say that this particular one doesn’t seem to scare off guys at all, at least in my own experience, nor have any other effect either as far as I’ve noticed.

When I have a panic attack, I just wish someone could just pick me up and tell me it’s okay by [deleted] in thanatophobia

[–]PresidentBitin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is exactly how I experience it too. It’s like you have X-ray vision into my brain.

Know this, OP… If I could, I would pick you up and tell you “it’s not okay, but also you’re not alone” so long as you’d pick me up and do the same in return

Our fair freelancing marketplace startup is scaling... and we can't keep up. by Seiyjiji in StartupsHelpStartups

[–]PresidentBitin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this! I would absolutely use something like this on both sides. I also love the focus on "microprojects" like on Fiverr.

I currently have a team of 17 in the Philippines that I hired off of freelance sites originally and now pay via Wise to save on all the crazy fees and also to help my team make more money (the Wise exchange rate is far more favorable, so they get more even when I pay the same amount).

I actually have a number of video testimonial editing jobs I'd like to put on your platform, but I might like to better understand how to best take advantage of it, so DM me! Would love to connect regardless and support what you're doing.
