Meta don't hire mugs...

[TheDude]

Some good news for job seekers. 8000 highly skilled Meta employees have just hit the market!

[TheDude]

I am a Scala developer and the language has been mismanaged to the point that commercial users are walking away in droves....

[TheDude]

My advice would be to go all in on Rust. It should stand you in good stead for contracts over the next few years....

[TheDude]

How the hell did you get a Rust contract with no experience and are there any vacancies?...

[TheDude]

Southend On Sea - same as last year.

[TheDude]

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....

[TheDude]

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....
