Thoughts on working for GitLab?
Do you think working remotely kills creativity? I still look for remote jobs as my first preference because it allows me to save money, time, and be in a space I am usually more creative i.e. my own house. I spoke to a CEO of a tech startup who called everyone to return to in person work becuase working remotely lacked the out-of-the-box results he was looking for. What are your thoughts?
I just sent a breakup email to a recruiter who hasn't replied in a month, and it was the most cathartic thing I’ve done all year. I told them that because of their lack of communication, I’m withdrawing my candidacy and blacklisting the company for future roles. They replied within five minutes to apologize, proving they were seeing my emails, they just didn't care. Should we start ghosting companies back?
I just saw a post on that other job board from a guy bragging about how he worked at so many major It companies but never got job on a job board. He had people already on the inside. It was the most privileged post I ever seen. Most of us are not that lucky.
I had a recruiter reach out to me for a role and then completely disappear after our first conversation. It’s frustrating because they acted extremely interested at first and then stopped responding without any explanation. How long do I follow up for before letting it go?
What’s the best way to explain being laid off during interviews without sounding negative? I know layoffs are common in tech right now but I still feel awkward talking about it when interviewers ask why I left my last role.
I was there for almost 3 years, in what were “the best of times” pre and post IPO. I’ve heard it’s not the same environment, which is a bummer. Also made a small fortune there, which was nice.
I think gitlab is old for the new lab that was just constructed. So the problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude towards the problem. So my question is what is the problem? 😔
Huh
applied many times to gitlab and get rejected everytime. I am now wondering if I should continue in IT or not after 20 years.
I personally haven’t heard anything negative. What type of role?
If it is an actual offer you are contemplating then go for it, if you are just applying to a job opening, I think they may be guilty of fake/ghost job posting. I see a lot of repeat roles over the last 6 months.
