Comment on How did you get your job? Any advice?
PlanetOfOrd@lemmy.world 1 year agoI was wondering if that was possible. I get ignored by startups at the same rate as corporate. I’m always told you have to be dragged through the mud for months of interviews before a company hires you, but I take it you didn’t have to do that?

I actually got my current job on my first attempt when I decided I wanted a new job. But at the startup, I interviewed with 4 or 5 large corporations before deciding to settle on a startup. I got in because I knew someone there.
I have also interviewed with Google many times and could never get a job there. I even passed all their damn interviews one of those times and they “couldn’t find a team that wanted me” so they said to try again next year, at which point I decided they can get fucked.
Maybe I just got extremely lucky with my current job. Who knows.
But yeah, I’m really glad I’m not looking for a job right now, because it’s really rough right now.
