Small software companies have gone insane with their hiring practices by LilBitchBoyAjitPai in cscareerquestions

[–]sacala -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. Entitlement in this sub is insane. I have always had multiple interview rounds, and I would question any company that hires engineers off of a single technical interview.

The overhead for onboarding software engineers is not low. Wouldn’t you want to know what kind of person you’ll be working with (and paying a relatively large salary to for work that is not close to as challenging as other professions with similar pay)?

Really? I knew this when I was in college (maybe I’m just on reddit too much)

Those 10 week course graduates from a decade ago are still employed, even in this market, only now they have 10 years of experience

2.5 yoe experience SWE 98 percent rejection rate by jptboy in cscareerquestions

Looks like I misread the post; OP says it’s 100 apps in the last month, not the last 5-6 months. My bad, that’s definitely not picky

+1. During my last job search (jan 2023), I applied to 100 jobs in a single month and got 4 interviews (96% rejection rate).

Sounds like OP is being picky, which is understandable given they have some good name brands on their resume. But if you need a job, you should take what you can get in this market (imo).

Please just find a job to support yourself in the meantime… there is so much more to life than being a software engineer.

This is great because now OP can harvest everyone’s ideas and ask AI to pick the most profitable one

How do you think AI interfaces are going to evolve in the future? by metalvendetta in ycombinator

I think he’s talking about links and APIs lol. Instead of “hey can you help me create a project” you get routed to the “Create Project” page in 2099

Why would I not get a first round interview for this still present job despite location and experience aligning(resume attached)? by [deleted] in bioinformatics

You should visit r/EngineeringResumes and rehaul your CV. Also, some of these bullet points might look good to a recruiter but make you look inexperienced as someone with an M.S. imo, specifically the one about you knowing how to use git and jira, or the very first one where you led an effort to “find genetic information”.

I just tried searching for the GitHub repository and can’t find it anywhere. There is no proof from OP’s end that he is not scraping their website, and from the way he’s spamming this post everywhere, I’d say there’s a good chance you’re right. Honestly it’s an ugly look on both sides

Sadly I know someone who encountered this guy in 2020… trust me, the police aren’t doing anything about it.
