No, quite the opposite. It's an old trick for job searching. It doesn't originate in tech. It's one reason why people go to networking events in their industry.

My impression of what reaching out means today is a chat over coffee, lunch, or less preferably a phone call.
- lj3 10y agoWhat frequently gets looked over is who you're reaching out to. It doesn't do you any good to reach out to a rank and file developer. You need to reach out to (is seduce a better word?) somebody with hiring authority in order to bypass the ridiculousness.
- eric-hu 10y agoPersonally, I don't mind going through an interview process. I actually find it strange if a company makes an offer without much of a technical interview, which has happened before.
