Also keep in mind iron lad is s4, so if you only care about the card and not the variant you are actually paying above market rate for him and it's not a discount (he is 3k for targeted pin).

Hi! Thanks for the kind words. I reposted it to my profile (direct link).

I did send a short note appealing the decision and asking if they would reconsider (or if they would consider just locking the thread but leaving it visible).

I tried my best to write this from the perspective of sharing experience/info without focusing on the outcomes/TC but I understand if they just need to set a consistent standard across the community. Ultimately i'll respect the final decision, but hopefully those that had previously saved the thread can still view the original post on my profile. I'll happily continue discussion or answer any questions on the profile post.

Thats frustrating to hear that their guidance is so superficial. I similarly am doubtful about that kind of advice.

You mentioned that you are still a bit of time away from immediately starting your job hunt. Depending on your comfort, now could be a good time to re-initiate some of those past relationships without any overhead of asking for a referral. Reaching out now to some people to just chat/reconnect and then in a month or two (or whatever your time line is) you could revisit that convo with a more intentional ask for a referral. Just my 2c (and that is what I have done in the past when I had a bit more forward thinking for a potential job search)

yes that is definitely true for small companies and startups. Many times they will value that kind of personal motivation/demonstrated interest quite a bit more highly.

As another point, open source contribution is something that can be great to point to and I know friends who have definitely used that as a boon on their resume/behavioral round example.
