sometimes jobs are just poo poo shows. my old job went on a hiring freeze for a year right after I referred a friend and he started interviewing. he definitely would have gotten an offer if they didn't do that.

comparing fb to the holocaust or even weapons companies is exactly what i was talking about. like fb/ig/wa has some baseline amount of value. my friend went from being broke as poo poo to being a "content creator" on ig for example. i use ig to look at animal photos while i wait for the subway and wa whenever i travel the rise of computer mediated communication was going to happen with or without fb the company. i'm also not gonna pretend that my work has much more value, and i don't think anyone else here in big tech should either btw to that one guy, netflix absolutely experiments on engagement lol

KidDynamite posted:they know i have a job and am not in a rush. why not just reject me and move on? it sounds like their intentions changed in the middle of your interview cycle but want to keep you in the loop at some point in the unspecified future for when they might be hiring again. Which is like a 80% rejection but not 100%. They might also be fishing for a willingness to relocate to NY.

Old hiring manager wanted/tried/intended to hire you but couldn't. Could be the manager didn't know wtf or something out of their control. They may actually get back to you but I'd forget about it.

I would bet it’s an internal budgeting problem based on their reply. Team A has no more budget for additional headcount but there is going to be a team B so they want to keep slightly engaged in case that happens. I would absolutely believe you’re applying to the company I work for which is this level of disorganised, except we’re hiring for the Atlanta office not the NY one. Treat it as a rejection for now.

This has happened to a lot of businesses recently as they restructure. We had headcount for 300 which got changed to 150 then up a bit but only for new teams in specific locations.

you definitely passed, if you hadn't you wouldn't have been told all that other stuff. something happened on their end to gently caress the hire up and the recruiter doesn't know if or when it will be fixed.

A while back my team interviewed a guy, liked him, and went to made an offer but the company instituted a hiring freeze before we could extend the offer. Things like this happen sometimes.

The requirements have been straightforward easy but ugh, the thing that pushed me over the edge was family member inviting me to her corporate zoom jockey gig where she plays professional development materials and takes attendance. Im getting my first check tomorrow and that should soothe the soul.

hobbesmaster posted:any med school eventually. first you go into massive debt for tuition, then spend years eating poo poo with a smile while working crazy hours (because that's how people who ran on cocaine did things 100 years ago) for relatively little money. after a few years of this you start making good money, but it's generally still a high-stress job and you still have your significant pile of student loan debt to pay off. never mind that to get into med school to begin with, you are competing with a bunch of hyper-overachievers who decided (or had it decided for them) that they wanted to be doctors when they were 12 and structured their entire lives around that getting a job touching computers is 100x easier and probably better for your health in the long run

when lehman brothers went bankrupt i instead went to work in south africa, in the actual offices (and organization) where the bulk of the apartheid laws were drafted, then i tired of this and went to work for the german military instead. what i am saying is; i do hope this historical reading is not how we should be doing ethics

You didnt have a say? Theres a slavery/indentured servitude provision in basically every US government contract. If you know of a government contractor violating provisions of their USG contract you may be entitled to whistleblower compensation.
