That is (one of the) reason(s) why I don’t even consider job offers from a startup.
I have no desire to work under a megalomaniac who thinks he runs Google when he actually has 2 employees.
As a not the best engineer who is looking for a job I heartily agree
It’d be nice if their experience shopping lists weren’t hilarious. No, I don’t have experience with every automation tool under the sun (or whatever). I’ve tried a few and worked extensively with them as they’re a tool to get the job done. I’m not running a tool review podcast, I’ve got shit to do. I’m sure I can learn to use whatever tool you’re using just fine but I’m not going to spend time trialling everything on the market just in case when that time could be used to get results with the tools I have. Holy run-on sentence, Batman.
Had that recently with job scheduling tools. They used two and I had a good amount of experience with one which is the one they use more but specific experience with the other was apparently vital. Again we are talking job scheduling tools and there was a laundry list of other technical requirements I met. I don’t think those who were hiring even understood the relative complexity of the technologies.
Ah, the thing you’re missing that the hiring people understand is that by learning one you are now unable to learn another. I assume that in situations where both are needed genetic engineering is involved.
Interesting recruiting company. Are these common in Silicon Valley?
