I think a lot about the job I didn't get last year. Technical interview was trivial. They said I did very well in the system design. But they ultimately went with someone "more cross functional". What the fuck does that even mean?
I think it's just code for "dunno we like the other guy's vibe better".
That sounds to me that they found one person to do many jobs. The sucker. You dodged a bullet
The trouble is, in this market most people would rather complain about their job than complain that they have nothing to eat and can't pay their mortgage.
I applied to a place in September 2025, got an interview, was told I was their #1 guy, just needed to pass some government thing. That took until Feb but I haven't been hired yet. They keep sending me forums to fill out. Not to mention it takes months to get a reply from them.
Interviewed at a different place in October. 2nd round in November, was told in Dec that they don't hire during Christmas. I'd have an offer "soon" and start day would be 2nd week of Jan. They ghosted me. This guy asked my old boss for good people and my old boss said me.... No idea what happened.
Applied to something in March. It was almost perfect... 10-15k less than I was making and in office when I was remote but I had been out of work for 6-7 months at this point. I had 10+ years experience with 90% of the tools they use. Interview went well but the manager was "weird". I can't describe it better than that. Seemed like a nice guy and I don't think I let it affect my interview but something was off.. I didn't get the job but I'm almost thankful.
None of these I'll forget. I'm burnt out.
