Panic! at the Job Market

As far as I can tell, the “behavioral interview” is essentially the same as a Scientology intake session except, you know, for capitalism instead

Just one a many brilliant lines in this epic deconstruction of the tech hiring landscape, from the POV of a candidate. Also contains a very interesting folk taxonomy of tech companies (nepo, speculation, initial growth & stable) which I think I’m going to steal. Must read for tech recruiters. H/T to brainfooder Pedro Oliveira for the share.
