"Dear Henry: (I've used Rex in all our correspondence)
Thanks for your interest in <Company>, and for discussing <Company>'s DevOps Engineer position with me. After careful consideration, I regret to inform you that you were not selected to move forward in the staffing process.
I am pleased that you are considering <Company> as a future employer, and encourage you to look at our career site at <fucknuts.com> to find other career opportunities of interest to you. Your career profile will remain in our system, and our Recruiting team may reach out to you if we find a position for which you could be a strong fit.
Thanks again for considering <Company> and its subsidiaries as part of your career search.
Sincerely,
Dickshit McGee"
I got a similar letter as well that pretty much said "It's great that you have experience dealing with shitty customers/users aka the government but we're going to look for people with actual experience. REST APIs are just ssooooo technically complicated there's no way you could ever comprehend them without years of experience." (lol)
I don't really blame them for passing on me but I was hoping to at least take a crack at their take-home assessment. Considering the 3rd question out of the PM's mouth was "Sooooo what are your salary expectations?" tells me they were only entertaining this idea to save ~50k. The recruiters called to apologize though because apparently they were genuinely surprised to hear the news. Apparently the company's HR recruiting team wasn't super clear on what the exact role was going to be like but I did warn them that what they were selling this as wasn't matching up to the only opening I could find. No fucking wonder there's such a "shortage" of senior devs.
Junior position interviews:
"Holy shit, you have a degree AND a pulse. You're hired!"
Senior position interviews:
"Sorry sir, but we only use metric fasteners on this project and it says here on your resume you have only used SAE wrenches at your old position so we're gonna pass."
