I've never been offered a higher salary than I was offered by wikimedia. I turned it down because their corporate culture is helllla creepy. I'm a private guy, and they expect everybody in the company to be somewhat public figures, down to the recruiters and office managers.

So, the culture wasn't a good fit for you. That's fair.

But "hel×4a creepy"? That feels like it's, just, you know, your opinion man.

Forgive me, I meant to say hella fucking creepy. Everything their employees do is public. It invites stalkers, harassment and phishing attempts. Terrible opsec.

I dunno bra, I write code because I like being the guy behind the guy, not the face on the window. You do you boo, whatever, but I've got my opinions and I'll express them whenever I want, however I want, and wherever I want.

I'll also add to this that they've got an incredibly incompetent recruitment department. The recruiter I dealt with really, really, really likes to use big words to show off her English lit degree.

I posted about it on twitter, 5 people responded with "Did she use the word perspicuous at least 3 times in every e-mail? Did she ghost you for 2 months, then send you angry messages that you haven't been more proactive in chasing her down? When you turned her down, did she say "I'm very disappointed, I saw something special in you?"

I guess he missed the site rule saying you couldn't share your opinion.

That's not what I was saying, but go hard.
