I'm so tired of the fake urgency like jesus christ too many people keep shooting me stupid questions and requests and like fucking at least tickle my pickle if you're going to fuck me. Running into work where someone is having a mental game because we removed his access since he moved to a different team and he's like "oh gee golly I would've loved to help but my access was removed". He still has elevated but not full control and I know with his access he can easily find a solution. It's actually pissing me off. Meeting up with him tomorrow and I'm like 5 mins away from ripping him a new one.

I reconsidered. I don't hate computers.
I hate people. I fucking HATE people.

Thinking about this now is way more cheaper and easier for them unless they super need to fill asap, rather than doing it after the hiring. The bad side you obviously have to deal with this.

Obviously this is ignoring any incompetence on their part affecting this.

>>110236434
>how is this even an efficient hiring process???
what makes you think it's a hiring process? they're just doing a market price check (due diligence)

>>110236601
yeah, I mean look, on basic principle I dont mind a process with multiple steps, obviously you cant gauge anyone off one convo and a take home, but this protracted process where they have a constant influx and are constantly waiting for a 10x engineer to fall in their lap is exhausting

reminds me of dating apps, never commiting to one candidate because a better one might just be 2 rounds earlier in the interview process kek
I mean as Im writing this they still have the position open for applications on their website, though not on LinkedIn
>>110236642
this might be the only decent conclusion if I dont get a response this week, either gauging the market, or HR is making up a hiring process so upper management doesnt think theyre not doing anything

I think I'm going to throw my hook in the water for new year hiring surge in January/February just to see what I get.
No point in doing any more than polishing up my resume over the next two months right + interview prep, right? I doubt that spending all my free time grinding a high level cert like OSCP or CKS will move the needle very much nor will a vibe-coded personal project.

>>110233528
AI is really only killing new grad and mid level jobs. If you're in college or have < 3 YOE it's perfectly reasonable to be pissed off at AI
That said, the H1B abuse and outsourcing is the bigger issue that is too taboo to talk about because it's heckin' racisterino.
Best case scenario is it is wage suppression
Real world scenario is that it is wage suppression + locking qualified westerners out of high level jobs due to nepotistic hiring practices all while pretending that tech hiring is meritocratic
