Who the fuck are they employing then? This was literally a technical interview with live coding, to see if I can fucking code. And I clearly could, the interview liked what he saw.

Maybe my qualifications are off (I have none, just my brain).

excellent. Keep applying. keep coding.

Linkedin is decent if you have an alright profile. Get chatgpt to write some description for your account based on postings you want to include the keywords recruiters search for. Use this to complete skill assessments and you should appear in searches/bubble to the top when applying https://github.com/Ebazhanov/linkedin-skill-assessments-quizzes

You guys are a dime a dozen. Oversaturated market, and in recession. Lots of codemonkeys can do exactly what you do, you’re not special by any means. They simply went with someone who was more likeable, a better ‘cultural fit’. ChatGPT will also disrupt this particular job very fast because its the easiest tech job after data entry.

Yeah that's why you didn't get hired, you still think everything is just "coding" and typing really fast on a keyboard trying to hack into the matrix or whatever.

You need to think of it as "developing" or building things. If all you can do is write lines of code then you're not very valuable.

OP, the job market is extremely bad right now. I have a decade of experience in IT as a systems administrator for a university that has over 10k users and over 50k computers. I have exemplary performance and my old boss is one of my best friends. He's received 0 reference call checks despite several employers asking for them and one specifically saying that he talked to my references and they gave a bad review.

This never happened because I put my burner phone number as a phone number for one of my references. Specifically the first one.

Employers are fucking themselves over as tech industry folks with experience leave the industry or become competition. They're also limiting their talent pool by nearly 99% as they try to force people to live near areas they work.

it's like asking a retarded person why they're retarded. they can't tell you, because they don't even know that they're retarded.

i have about 5 years of experience in my profession. i've been applying to higher paying jobs for the past few months. i've been rejected from several jobs where my experience lines up EXACTLY with what they're asking for. i've been rejected from several jobs where they inform me (via automated email) that the role has been cancelled. i've been invited to interview for roles where it's immediately obvious that i'm not qualified for the role which demands specific technical experience. i've been invited to interview for roles where the brain dead roastie recruiter can't even remember to send me a zoom video interview invite.

i truly believe that western society is going through some sort of competency crisis. you see it everywhere: companies being unable to hire or innovate, wagies fucking things up left and right, governments destroying economies, and so on. blame it on long covid, the vax, brownoid demographics, social media fried brains -- whatever you want to call it, there is something wrong with society.

Interviewing is itself a skill. Keep applying, approach every interview as if you want the job, and you'll be as polished as an actor doing his 100th performance of some play soon enough.

When I went through an interview cycle to see if I could find something better I got interviewed by Square.

The worst interview exp I had and this was at a "big" tech company. The only offer I could get was for the same salary, 6 month probation before benefits/vacay and it was hybrid. So I declined, im gonna start again in sept since I think some people might hire for the fall.

On another note, the retards that shit on webdev clearly never seen what webdevs actually do.
I think webdevs should be paid more than any other shitty c#devs or whatever. It's a fucking pain in the ass to do web dev because everything is fucked and the front-end nowadays is more complex than the backend

incompetent roastie recruiters is very common. i almost didn't get my current job because of a fuckup that mirrors your experience. after like 5 emails the brain dead cunt finally rescheduled the cancelled interviews.

a year after getting the job i helped with interviewing and hiring 2 open slots on my team. same story. roastie fucks up and posts the job as hybrid in the wrong city, it's actually fully remote. roastie identifies candidates for our review who have no relevant skills. roastie recruiter finally identifies good candidates, we approve the interview request, roastie drops the ball and never schedules them. finally have a few good interviews, we tell roastie to make the offer. she drags it out over multiple days, increasing the risk that the candidate drops us due to competing offers.

it's absolutely insane that hiring is de facto bottlenecked at every major US corporation by predominately clueless, brain dead, non-technical, low IQ retard women in their mid to late 20s with absolutely no clue and a complete inability to adhere to any sort of deadline driven process.

This. Autists fail to realise that we don't live in a pure meritocracy, and that things like charisma, being likeable, looks, neurotypicality and being able to fit in are just as important if not more important. Everything in life is like a club. If people don't like you for whatever reason then you aren't included.

Hey I can shed some light on what's happening:

Basically they closed the position but it will give the standard response to all applicants that the position has been "filled"

But you're right in that they were never hiring in the first place. They're basically data farming. And, yes, you should be pissed off about that by giving your hard-work out for free.

Whether they're data farming for nefarious purposes, i.e., to give to a third party or for their own purposes to possibly give you a job offer when they're actually hiring will depend on the company but no doubt tons are doing the former since all tech companies now see the value in acquiring what is, essentially, free data for themselves.

Again, yes, you should be pissed about this. Even us meek programmers should not be taken advantage of in such a way.

Are you a white guy?
Here is what happened. He wanted you to get the job. He showed your profile to management and talked highly. But Shaniqua also applied. She can't spell good and has no coding experience. But she is a nigger. And you are not. So she got the job. The manager kept recommending you instead, but Elizabeth in HR thinks they need a big fat female nigger in the office.

I did something like that for the job I'm about to leave but it landed me an instat offer lol
I specifically mentioned that I feel uncomfortable disclosing my gender and I hope they offer a safe environment where everybody respects that. Got the mail with the offer at the end of the day. Don't fight the clowns. Adapt, improvize, overcoom.
