| It is not so difficult. People make it difficult. I have been working in the development area since 1999.
Starting with Delphi, today I work with Ruby and Python.
I've worked with Java and Lisp. And many other areas like security and DevOps.
I worked in large companies and startups. And after 22 years, I can say... the recruitment process is a shit show at ALL companies. It gets humiliating.
Some examples: 1. A company offered me an offer after just one interview, ... 1/3 of my current salary. WTF? 2. In another case, in the technical test I emailed, in Rails, the reviewer said "You didn't create a validator and you didn't test 100% of the code"
Of course I did the validator... I was offered a new test, but I thought it was a bad sign, so I stopped the process and thanked for the opportunity. 3. In another company, I did "a lot of unit tests"
4. My boss doesn't hire a very good candidate because he uses Visual Studio for the online interview, and it was a sin for
him to use an MS IDE. 5. For a specific job, my boss only hired women with deformities (no hand or foot, limp, etc.), as this type of woman does not suffer sexual harassment (of course it is not true). 6. I already took a graphology test for a job! 7. "You called Model.find_by_name, we don't use it here, you need to call Model.find_by name: value" Some people say "it's normal" about these crazy processes and defend it. They suffer from Stockholm syndrome. Every time I get an offer on Linkedin, I don't politely accept it as I don't want to go through any crazy process again.
And I didn't even mention the work environments... |
