JewKiller 3000 posted:this set is non-empty? let's assume that somewhere out there is a job I will want in the future more than the one I hold at the time. it's virtually certain that they have a recruiter, if only borrowed from their lead VC, and mathematically possible that such a recruiter would indeed contact me. play out this fantasy scenario with me, be a pal. (when our recruiters mail me some message they're going to send a lead and ask "be honest, does this sound stupid?" I want to hug them until they pop)

yeah i'm somewhat joking but not completely. i mean, if all good developers hate recruiters and make little games out of their phone calls instead of taking them seriously, then why do all companies use these recruiters? i don't take recruiter calls because i hate the phone because aspergers or something. so i dunno, ask them about burn rates. ask how much the ceo makes as a multiple of the lowest-paid employee. ask how much their cut is if you take the job.

at 700k people sf isn't a small town but it's sure not a real city either. who the gently caress wants to pay 2500 for a 500 sqft apartment close to caltrain because you need to commute an hour each way OUT OF THE CITY every day?

"how will you make money?!" will result in literal booing
