1) JavaScript !== Java

2) Don't even try to talk about project management frameworks because you don't understand them

3) Don't ask me if I have experience in something that isn't on my resume

4) I don't want your 3 month .NET contract in Cleveland even if it "may have the opportunity to go full-time"

5) Get both my and the employer's salary requirements up front so I don't call out of work to spend the day interviewing, being told by the company that they absolutely wanted to move forward, and then find out that my salary was way out of their range.

6) If you name drop a renown company and then start talking about how I should instead interview at some startup for helping people put their mom in a nursing home, the conversation is over.

7) APIs isn't a skill

8) Save the corporate kool-aid for the product owner candidates

9) Just because you got my phone number because some job board sold my info to you doesn't mean you can call me

10) My resume, LinkedIn, and any other job board profiles have my location listed. Don't call me at 6am PST!!!

11) Stop hoping that I am well. I'd be much more well if I wasn't woken up at 6am by your ass.

12) Who do you honestly think is going to work for a company that requires .NET, Java, Python, Angular, React, and "bonus points for Rust experience"?

Because those totally convert to full time! /s

Insourcing is sort of worse than outsourcing to be honest.
