i don't do dev anymore -- dev-adjacenet maybe -- like i might do some role at a big-ass company called 'app dev sr advisor' -- but it would be a little sql, etc. point is, i get a shitton of interest, and i work to blast out my resume, and even send targeted resumes. but i haven't closed anything after a _lot_ of interviewing -- two solid months. actually, will be three months soon. i've made it to a few finals rounds. not sure why i'm dying at the final stage. small company today i talked to were pretty much all assholes. i thought that was strange. i've been on calls where 1 of 3, or maybe 1 of 2, was an asshole, hated me from the jump, but not 4 of 5 -- that felt super-strange. it's kind of a run-of-the-mill sf area startup. but my take-away after the call was....everyone is stressed because republicans are trying to kill us all, on top of covid adding this constant, immediate fear of suffering, bankruptcy, and death over our heads. so, most everyone in the coding class is making money hand over fist, way outpacing inflation * 100, but if you can die tomorrow, what's the point of it all? it puts you in a bad mood. you can't even go to the gd bar and watch a game without wondering if you're killing yourself and your family. and, so, people are broken. civil society is breaking down. i don't know what it's like to live in another country during covid, but i suspect it could cause social breakdown even if one of the two political parties wasn't committed to mass death. the odd part to me was they were asking me about my moving around to different jobs -- i was like, bros, y'all been here for a couple months, and you fired most of your C-level execs in the past two months, and said most of various departments had turned over because 'the company was at a different stage now'. tf? hopefully another, different offer comes thru. but i got that gd raincloud following me around, too. not sure there is any solution for you, unfortunately. |
