Ask HN: 0/30 in the job hunt. Is this typical?
I disagree with the other comments. If you interviewed 30 times and are an expert in the field, you probably made up for the variants at this point.<p>The culture today systematically lacks respect for seniority.<p>You don&#x27;t give non-standardized technical screenings to candidates with a demonstrable track record. What are you trying to do by screening people? Are you saying that the applicant is potentially fraudulent?<p>Why isn&#x27;t their technical screening standardized? What is it testing for? Is there confirmation by an independent body the screening represents the responsibilities of the role?<p>Some more factors:<p>- If it&#x27;s a startup and you have 10 years of experience, you&#x27;d have more experience than most founders. Outshining the master is super-unemployable, unless they&#x27;re willing to split equity and let you in as a co-founder. Then they&#x27;re serious. Otherwise, you&#x27;re just another programmer to them.<p>- The person interviewing you doesn&#x27;t want to hire the person who replaces them. Then they&#x27;d be stuck job hunting like you. Unless they&#x27;re retiring in the near future, being <i>too</i> good is probably going to get you a sham technical screening, or some excuse that flunks you early on.<p>- There is a reporting bias. Due to survivor guilt, you don&#x27;t see people chiming in every time they get their time wasted.
