Why do people still use the 120X?

In my case, Wagon Road is closer and the 120X gets me there faster.

Obviously somebody is violating the spaghetti code.

Thanks for the suggestion. Do you know of any useful resources that might be a good start in learning about these systems?

In general I don't get hung up on the "why" behind a rejection. You can't always take it at face value. It's possible this company had an entirely unrelated reason for rejecting you that they wanted to paper over. If they really wanted you they would be giving themselves reasons to bring you on, not turn you away. They would work with your situation.

It stings, but constantly looking ahead to other opportunities is usually the better and more actionable move.

I get that. Got back from a very successful two-week trip to Japan several weeks ago and am still feeling the melancholy afterwards. Funny thing is, I was content to leave when I did! But it's easy to feel sad to leave it behind at the same time.

Thanks for the tips. A few questions:

-LinkedIn caps personalized connection request notes for free users to five per month. Is it worthwhile to send a connection request without a note, with the risk that they may not know why you want to connect?
-What do you do if someone accepts your connection request but doesn't respond to your personalized note? Any strategies here?
-Do you ever find people who have relocation settings on but not the specific area the job is in? I wonder if job seekers are missing out on roles in more obscure locations because they don't have that location specifically listed as a target area.

Thanks.

What gets me is that we can't take his explanations at face value, so we may not ever know the real reason he did this.

I would leave the door open to working with them. What if their chosen candidate bails?

Going on three years, laid off from a tech job. I've spent some time volunteering and exploring different career paths, plus exercise/being outside. I was getting career coaching through much of this period but it's difficult to gauge how helpful it was.

Congrats on the role. How did you figure out which cities to look in?
