that’s insane. a threat like that would be good reason to look around for a new gig if you worked there, doing that before you have actually signed anything is just completely bonkers this is how they act when they don’t actually sign your paycheck. i can’t understand how anyone would expect that to make you want to work there

One company I'm interviewing with wants me to make ring-0 spy software to put on employees computers (they are a cybersecurity company). They're probably the most likely to come with an offer, but at the same time, eugh. e: VVVVV yeah I've already turned them down within days of that Private Speech fucked around with this message at 17:04 on Mar 30, 2021 |

If you're a web developer, html/css is a much better choice. I don't want people thinking that I can or want to work with either of those things, so I use latex.

its a solid smug oppty when you crack open that \LaTeX command in your jumble of buzzwords and see that formattin much much much more importantly, recruiters dont know how to gently caress w a pdf to misrepresent you to peeps. recruiters have higher turnover than fast food and the ethical rigor of your average used car dealer so you gotta take measures

Years ago when I was trying to escape Experts Exchange, I was attaching a .docx resume I made in LibreOffice to my job applications and getting no hits. Then I finally opened it in Word and realized it looked like absolute rear end when not viewed on my exact computer, so switched to LaTeX-generated PDF's. Instantly started getting way more bites. Now my dream interviewing situation is for a company I'm not very interested in to tell me I need to consent to a background check and/or piss test and me telling them to get hosed.

I was meant to have an interview today but they had to cancel 15 minutes beforehand due to an "urgent issue" by the by, has anyone ever used this loving horrible screening website IKM? they had me do a multiple choice Python test (60 questions, each question has 1 to 3 correct answers) and it was awful, i cant imagine actually using this to find good programmers
