I have a solid career, but I’m asocial. A tech recruiter invited me to participate in a selection process for a senior software engineering role. I ignored the proposal for a few days, but the recruiter reached out to me again.The problem is that a lot of my peers from university work at this company as juniors or mid level engineers, and it's a very big company. Some of them are very good engineers, and I think some may even be better than me. Just imagining going there and acting like some sort of senior around people who studied with me made me cringe. I refused the offer. Did I mess up? I’m already a senior at my current company, but the prospects of this role were much better I think.
Also, the tech recruiter said my profile was personally handpicked by their tech lead, I think he liked my portfolio, I have a lot of published websites out there. I'm thinking about deleting them from my socials and removing any reference to my name as well.
show us your portfolio anon
>>34485913>show us your portfolio anonNo. It contains personal information. I am afraid of sharing it even on LinkedIn. I just wanted to know if I did the right thing or if I was stupid and there's no reason to be afraid.
>>34485913>show us your portfolio anonAlso, I don't think it's impressive at all, so you're not losing anything by not seeing it.
>>34485927>>34485930alright, without seeing it, the answer is definitely between "you were being scammed, no one would seriously want that" and "you missed out on a real opportunity, you're underpriced for your skills"hope this helps
>>34485946>you were being scammedHow so? They are verified on LinkedIn with their company mail address. And as I said, I have a dozen of ex colleagues from university working there, it's a big company.>you missed out on a real opportunity, you're underpriced for your skillsI didn't ask for career advice...>hope this helpsIt didn't. But thanks anyway.
