I've been going through an interview loop, applied for dozens of jobs and interviewed at several companies (both big and small).

Big red flag:
"We are proud of our 10 step interviewing process that ensures high quality software engineers for our clients."
eh no sorry, I'm high quality* but I'm not going to put up with a 10 step interview process >:V sdjhsks
My ideal interview length is 3 stages. Maximum 4. Beyond 4 is unacceptable.
Definitely, the 10 step process was incredibly dumb. It was something like: recruiter call -> hr meet -> lead pm of project -> code challenge call -> 10min english conversation call -> team meet and approval -> client approval -> one day at the office approval -> and two other ones I can't remember.
It's a great company based on what I know but it's way too many steps. I had two friends that reached the english conversation step and was dropped off. They could've avoided 3 steps if it was done by the recruiter on the 1st step DX
Really good article!
Work under pressure: haha no thank you .__.
A "rockstar", "ninja", "guru"... it's kinda crazy, not so long ago i was trying to get a new job but it shocked me to see a significant amount of posts from companies asking for a developer to have experience with a million things at once. It was a bit difficult not to feel intimidated and frustrated…
Wow, I wanted to write a similar article, I'm glad I waited because yours is much better!
Context: I have an ongoing Hiring is broken Series - and many more drafts on the same topic.
Niiice! I'll have a look at the series. Please go ahead and write your own article on the topic, I'd love to read it! ❤️
Thanks. I plan to write that on LinkedIn because that's where recruiters are, so that's what my education efforts can be more fruitful.
Brilliant idea! ❣️
As a contractor....
Posted on a Thursday: 1 phone interview and must be able to start on Monday.
Are you such a disorganized company that you need a warm body in a chair accessing your systems with no time to properly assess suitability or check references? And if so, how much chaos am I walking in to?
OMG. Some companies are hilarious, ahaha
We’re a Family? On my work one of the Managers says "We are in the same boat" and we joke about that. Yes, Right you are in the Penthouse and we are dealing on the Machine Room.
Not exactly in the listing, but I receive a lot of contacts from recruiters and always ask a few questions that are things important to me, one of which is how much they are willing to pay.
Since they always say "depends", I added to the template exactly as follows: "(I know it depends, but I'm looking for a range.)".
If they refuse to answer any question, insisting on a call... then it's a red flag that it's gonna be just a waste of time.
HR: What are your salary requirements?
Me: Umm, I suppose $50,000 a year.
HR: Great! We're looking for a Rockstar developer!
Me: Ahhh, in that case $5,000,000 a year.
I like this ahaha
Enjoyed the read! Thanks
