I&#x27;ve learned first-hand that these days software teams don&#x27;t seem to take a chance and do not use the probationary period to see if someone is a good fit. You go through four or 6 interviews and then one of the 8 or so people you&#x27;ve interviewed with has a bad feeling about you and that seals the deal. It&#x27;s like they don&#x27;t have a probationary period and want to hire you unlimited, full-time from day one. Even the most impressive psychological bullshitter can and will be revealed as a bad fit in the first month, so why not take a chance on someone who seems capable and socially compatible while being down to earth (aka no bullshit artist). What I&#x27;ve learned is to not be totally honest in interviews and keep my concerns to myself when asked.
