Sidebar: keep interviewing even if you have a job. Keeps your interview skills fresh, and you’re always ready to bounce if you’re employer is on some ho shyt.

:ohhh: Funny a recruiter just hit me up from Amazon and I got a phone interview with them scheduled beginning of October

Never would I have thought I'd reach a point in my career where the big tech companies start reaching out to me and im legit like :francis::mjlol:

Not offering fully remote at this point is probably the biggest :scust: from them

Im just going to go through the process and ask for a ridiculous amount if money and see what happens :blessed:. I haven't interviewed since i started this job in 2019 so I think im well over due. Is Seattle or Herndon, Va even decent places like that?

What type of questions were they asking you?
From a technical standpoint?

Tried that one way video interview today for a IT job, and that shyt was way too uncomfortable for me. I was stuttering and shyt because I was more obsessed with how I looked on camera, the feedback and noise that my webcam picks up, and making sure everything is perfect. Also adding the fact I cant re-record my videos. The whole shyt just didn't feel natural. :francis:.

I was recording for one of the questions and midway just rage quit and said "fukk this" under my breath. Hopefully it didn't save and they don't see that :russ:

What are some red flags for you guys when job hunting and interviewing?

I got an email about an IT Operations Engineer position. I said I’d be interested in hearing more about it without seeing a full job description. And the few “challenges” that the hiring manager mentioned in the email don’t interest me at all.

And when I looked up the company, I saw an article about layoffs in April 2020. They had funding. They couldn’t continue normally after a month in the pandemic?

I had an interview with a top institution, I didn't bomb it but I clearly didn't kill it like I normally do.
