This guy I know who’s 5-6 years into his career and can in 2-4 days line up 10+ interviews and has an 80%+ rate of converting offers. Even though he had a period of spending 3-4 months at four different companies.

It bows me away. That, to me at least is a rockstar programmer.

Him, Jose Valim of the Eixir project and the guy who wrote Asciinema (one of the best examples of a web / systems project written in elixir and phoenix).

Do you have any insight into his method for procuring offers, or his portfolio that impressive?

[algaeontoast]

Not really, he never worked for a FAANG, only got into Cs after doing a two year program at a solid college after getting a political science degree from NYU.

Are you able to pm any more insights? As someone that's currently having trouble even getting a response this seems insane to me.

Not the OP and I'm not in a position where I'm hiring people, but feel free to send me your CV and I'll give you some feedback. Normally if you can't get a response it's because you've got a red flag on the CV. Getting job interviews and turning job interviews into job offers is a real skill, but it's a skill you can learn if you work at it. If you want, just remove any personally identifiable information from from your CV before sending it to me -- like I said, I'm not currently in a position where I'm hiring so no need to give me any personal info.

I know right, I think he has a really solid network. Yet, all the interviews he set up required tech screens and seemed random. Only other info is that his first job was at Comcast of all places.
