Buff Hardback posted:just got the denial from snap before ever talking to me, guess i'm not quite where they want me to be for a security engineer it's hard but try not to waste mental energy trying to interpret rejections unless they gave you something concrete to improve on. there's too much randomness involved to try to guess what happened.

Is it fine to say a number when it's on the high end of companys range? I have a couple of interviews lined up and this company has the lowest range, plus it's consulting so a bit meh. I figure if they won't be willing to agree to it then there's no point in wasting any more of our mutual time. e: I only have ~5 years of experience (and a relevant engineering degree) which in the embedded sphere isn't that much, otherwise I'd go for the very top of the range (which is only like 60k but this isn't the US so no figgies is the norm) Private Speech fucked around with this message at 12:15 on May 12, 2020 |

Amazon is basically flooding the DC area with open positions right now because of HQ2, and one of my coworkers (who is around the same skill level as I) even got hired for one recently. I'm trying to overcome my intense imposter syndrome and hit apply already. Though now that I just typed that, I realize that I would probably be in a better position if I contacted my former coworker first to see if she had a way to get my resume in the right hands (as my lack of a college degree tends to gently caress me in regards to getting through the auto-filters).

So I think that mostly answers it. It's also a well-known multinational, so I might be undercutting all you figgieland people, soz e: I'd move to figgieland to get paid better if the visas weren't so stringent, so just blame Trump or whoever I might eventually anyway, Britain is a dump Private Speech fucked around with this message at 14:20 on May 12, 2020 |

also what's the policy on poking a recruiter for a startup on linkedin after applying? their name wasn't listed on the application, but i poked around on linkedin and found them, with their tagline being "recruiter for Acme -- We're hiring!" and the "reach out to Jim for... hiring" button on their profile

Yeah all good advice but I was just reminded of the northeast college recruiter from KPMG freaking the gently caress out at my boss. I had talked with her once or twice before, so I sent an email saying it the last week of my internship, appreciated her time that summer, I really enjoyed working here and hope to be invited back, and was there anything I should do or check out before I went back to college for my last year. she sent some insane rant to my boss about how entitled I was and this sort of person shouldn't have an internship much less a job here. blah blah. all fun and games except my team loved me and a partner created the internship for me.

why do they even bother? I live in Copenhagen and speaking with a recruiter from Malmo, which is literally a bridge away, the moment I mentioned living in Copenhagen he immediately went "welp can't compete with your level of salaries sorry" I mean, he knew when he was defeated
