It's all gone quiet.

Bad form but not unexpected....

[TheDude]

I felt the interview went well but two working days have passed with no update so not looking good....

[TheDude]

Final interview tomorrow for a role I have previously performed.

Initial appointment was for a 30 min teams call with the MD.

This was then cancelled and replaced with a two hour on site tech technical interview.

[TheDude]

Where your test cases AI generated? If so maybe your code isn't as well tested as you think it is......

[TheDude]

I have mentioned this before but I worked at a large European bank and their strategy in Canary Wharf at least was clearly based on cheap Indian developers. The dev floor I worked on was at least 70% Indian and half used to disappear at 4:30 in the summer to play cricket....

I had a first interview yesterday....

[TheDude]

It's easiest for them to ghost you.

In my experience if you do chase for an outcome you rarely get told that you didn't get the gig. I suspect in some cases the agent gets ghosted by the hiring firm as well....

[TheDude]

In this market if you didn't get an offer within a day or two you almost certainly didn't get the gig.

If the agent spins you a convoluted tale like this you definitely did not get the gig....

[TheDude]

I am in an outside gig in the public sector.

The limiting factor on tenure appears to be constantly changing supply chains....

[TheDude]

I see this as possibly a punt at going perm and to work with newer technologies.. I am 53 and won't have many more chances....

[TheDude]

Interview next week with a previous banking client for a role I have previously performed.

3 days a week in London and the rate is the same as when I left four years ago but I am going nowhere in my current public sector gig....
