I remember vividly interviewing for a Bay Area tech company and asking about their policy on side projects and open source contribution, and the interviewer got really cagey and basically said he didn't know but don't worry too much about it. Got rejected for the role and surprisingly the recruiter was very forthcoming about the reason: Don't remember the actual words but he said that my interest in working on side projects was a red flag and showed I wouldn't devote 100% to the role. Leadership apparently insisted that candidates asking about these kinds of things were not good fits. I feel I really dodged a bullet there! Thank you, anonymous recruiter for being unusually candid in post-interview feedback! |
