    It is really, really hard to apply for an H1B for a candidate unless they just graduated from college and are on OPT. If they are on OPT they basically have 2 chances to apply for …

    No but I'm necessarily right because I know how a foreclosure works. You don't lose your house after 2 months of non-payment, it takes months and there is a precise legal procedure…

    Stop feeling sorry for yourself, and get a full time job. You need to accept that you're not good enough to start your own company. It's okay, there are millions of people like you…

    I would love it if Google spent some time re-interviewing a bunch of their current employees, to see how good their interview process is compared to random chance. I know their bes…

    I've been through a couple of Google interviews. My last one, I didn't even apply for, they contacted me a couple of months ago, asking if I wanted to interview. Why the heck not. …

    It's called having some common courtesy. Companies such as yours that think it's beneath them to spend the 10 seconds to respond back to people is a huge redflag that they're fille…

    that's funny because if you read the thread a few weeks ago about "how much did you make from your startup's exit", most non-founders got royally screwed, making less than 20k. the…

    What happened to common decency in the hiring process?

    I have applied to a few places in the Valley, as have many of my friends. And I hear nothing but horror stories in terms of how rude recruiters and hiring managers are. I'm not tal…
