I'd be interested: how many OFFERS did she get (or plausibly could have gotten)?
It seems easy to read this article and conclude that a junior developer in similar circumstances might be picking and choosing between working at 20 different companies.
The reality might be more like picking between 1-2, and the "reasons [she] didn't work for them [the rest]" were THEIR reasons, not hers.
- brooklyn_ashey 9y agoI'm interested too. Most junior devs I've known recently have to apply to hundreds of companies before anyone is "interested" in what they are offering. (which is just ridiculous if there is actually a "skills gap". Companies should take some responsibility in training, if they can.) After that, they have to take jobs that pay less than restaurant server work. I wonder why she had so many interviews. Good for her, though. I'm glad she was able to be picky with a goal of working with a team who could help her improve over time. Everyone should get to work with people who inspire and support them.
- kareemsabri 9y ago> I'm glad she was able to be picky I'm not sure she was that picky. She doesn't explicitly say the reasons were all her reasons. For example, one of the main things that stopped me from working at Facebook is that they declined to make me an offer.
- user5994461 9y agoDoubt she was picky. Half the points would get her rejected by the company, not the opposite.
