"You do realize that there is an entire IT Industry outside of Facebook and Google?" Was there a single fiber in your being that believed I did not...? I canno

"You do realize that there is an entire IT Industry outside of Facebook and Google?" Was there a single fiber in your being that believed I did not...? I cannot imagine a human brain believing this is a useful post for even a single second. Yet, here you are defending it... "You are using your experience at two of of the best technology companies in the world to trash the author's criticism of the recruiting in the "IT" industry." No. I'm really not. I am a recruiter. While at Google and Facebook I met hundreds of recruiters. Since there is a world outside of these two companies (Wow! I did know that! Who knew??) almost all of us now work at other companies. At these companies, none of them behave the way the author describes. So you managed to read my post, respond with completely embarassing, useless snark because, like the author, you didn't bother to understand what you were talking about and instead just said "I have projected some extra idiotic/mean spirited behavior on this complete stranger and now I will get mad/snarky about it". If you're going to communicate with others you need to have it either be useful or pleasant. Unfortunately you seem to have fell short of both...

You know what's funny? You are essentially confirming everything the OP has said.

  Do you have anything you want to say beyond this or are you comfortable leaving this as a completely desperate falling on your face attempt at insulting a complete stranger?

there are literally millions of recruiters in the world. You think knowing a couple hundred means you know how they all act, or even a majority?

  So let me see if I follow. It is completely rational and even considered informational to post some strawmen about 2 or 3 recruiters. HOWEVER, knowing hundreds of recruiters and talking about their actual behavior is not rational. "You think knowing a couple hundred means you know how they all act, or even a majority?" I...what? Are we just coming up with the dumbest, most obtuse questions possible? Again, what shred of your being believes I think this in any way whatsoever?

    Your statements literally say that. "I know hundreds of recruiters". That's literally what YOU SAID. That's not dumb, or obtuse. You also imply that just because none of those people act like that, that the ENTIRE industry must be the same. It's getting really difficult to not be offended at some of what you're saying. I'm WASPY as they come and your arguments are so privileged it's not even funny.

      "You also imply that just because none of those people act like that, that the ENTIRE industry must be the same." I never said anything remotely close to the thing you are saying above. Even if I did, the OP said the opposite thing based on a much smaller sample size and of course none of you have any issue with that....? I said that I know hundreds of recruiters and they don't act like this. In contrast, the OP said that he knows a couple recruiters and they do act like this. How on earth could you possibly go with the "yeah, that OP guy is spot on! But man, this other guy who knows way more recruiters and is making the opposite generalization that doesn't make it as easy for us to get mad at faceless strangers is full of shit!" line of logic...? "I'm WASPY as they come and your arguments are so privileged it's not even funny." Huh? What are you referring to? Again, the OP wrote a long rant about how all recruiters should be avoided because a few are bad. I then said I know a lot and that I've had the opposite experience. So, you actually believe that ripping a bunch of faceless strangers is NOT privileged but simply defending them is...? What. The. Fuck?

  Curious why you didn't make this response to the OP? All you would have to do is change "a couple hundred" to "a couple"?
