Bangalore, India. Many Positions. Full time. I have recently taken up a role to build a payment network from scratch, out of Bangalore, India. It is funded by a big corporation, but will be arms-distance from their central business. It is a large, complex and fascinating problem to crack. The potential to bring banking to 600 million un/underbanked Indians is what excited me to work on this. In the past I have built…

Novopay or a competitor to it?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The nature of your responses suggest you probably weren't rejected solely for your work history.

I like to think that I was cordial and professional up until the rejection. After that, well, I don’t have much to lose, so I might as well call out what I saw to be systematic bad behavior. It was cathartic, and I believe in the duty of individuals to identify and fix what is broken in society. It’s also why most companies reject using impersonal form letters sent from no-reply email addresses. I like to think that…

OK, I'm really reticent to respond, but I've seen a few of your posts and feel weirdly compelled to help you. I love that you have strong opinions on recruiting/hiring, you do have passion, and you're clearly a very principled guy. I have no doubt that you're probably a very nice, decent person in real life.

However, you are absolutely going about job-hunting all wrong. You don't want to believe this, and I get it—finding work often really sucks. But you're coming off really badly and only exacerbating the vicious cycle. You need to treat this like a programming problem: you've been trying the same code for months (years?), and it's still buggy as all hell. Instead of continuing to tinker with that code, write something else and attack the problem differently. Spamming Google is not a viable strategy. Lashing out at employers in these threads is not a viable strategy. Constantly talking about how badly you need more money (however true) is not a viable strategy.

Look man, you don't know me from Adam. You have no obligation to listen to me. But I'm telling you 100% that a huge reason you're not getting offers is because of your attitude, not your aptitude. You can either read this and fume (I know I would for awhile), or read this and fume and then make a drastic change. When you wake up tomorrow, redo your resume, re-think your cover letters, rejigger your entire approach to job hunting. You may even find this attitude shift pays dividends elsewhere in your life, too.

Don't use that taleo, it's buggy garbage. I spent 5 minutes trying to fill out the form and it ate it.

You certainly get my vote for "most interesting who's hiring of the month"!

For what it's worth, I'd advise listing that you're also hiring a fairly technically minded BD person too. There are plenty of technologists on Hacker News who have reached their peak for software contributions and are looking to switch into more business minded areas. In my humble opinion, with the right mentoring, people with the technical background are better suited to learning sales and BD than MBAs are at learning to talk the technical talk.
