Honestly, I was expecting post like this.

+1, I've received this '"thank you, your experience is really great, but we got a candidate who is a much better fit for this position". ' from so many companies in last 5 years! Yes,its 5 long years. Strangely some companies tell me contribute to OSS to get better attention. (I'm OSS dev since 2005) I really really suspect they even care about Github profiles/links we share.

As some one from non-US, I face 'time-zone' issue too. To be honest, In last 5 years of searching, I got interview scheduled from Ceph(2011),Google(2012 & 2015) and Platform.sh(2016). Those are the only 3 companies,went beyond the initial thank you email. In recent months, I stopped monitoring/applying to HN whoishiring posts or Stackoverflow remote positions or remoteok, weworkremotely just anything else. There is no point in applying ,if they didn't even care to schedule first round of interview.

Its really hard to me, I hope it will be less harder for you. Good luck with your search!
