Some scammer "founder" invented a "job" to pick my brain while pretending to be hiring. Absolute liar. One of those customer/feedback chat widgets with video call features.
More times than I can readily remember. A number of contracts, a number of full time jobs. Have attempted to hire on here a couple times as well though I don't recall it working out. I've been on here since 2007 though, so recent experience is substantially different. It's as bad as the dotcom bust in 2001 the last year or two.

Once at Singly, in 2010-ish. Was a contractor for about 4 months, they brought me on full time, and I spent about a year there, left to go to one of the big 4 consulting companies, spent 7 years there.
The second was at Greenhouse (the ATS) in 2021 -- was there until Jan of this year.
