I think you forgot to add the "/s" to this statement.
- bitL 9y agoMaybe you are idealistic and work for non-profit dealing with human trafficking in your spare time and have to cut it to take a silly HackerRank test?
- Caveman_Coder 9y agoMore likely it is watching Netflix and reading HN...let's not pretend we're all out there saving the world and volunteering our free time for selfless causes...
- bitL 9y agoIt's just an example of course. But even downtime from work is massively important for your mental health, why it should be interrupted by a constant treadmill on recruiter's rat race?
- Caveman_Coder 9y ago> "why it should be interrupted by a constant treadmill on recruiter's rat race?" Isn't this self imposed if you are the one applying for the job??? I don't get it, if some rando recruiter emails me a Hacker Rank test, I delete the email if I'm not interested...pretty simple. If I am interested, then I apply and that is no longer an "interruption"...or at least it is self imposed so there is no real reason to complain.
- mywittyname 9y agoWhy are you interviewing if you're working your dream non-profit job?
- bitL 9y agoYou mean you do service to other people for no salary in your spare time and you are asking why do you need a job to pay bills? Seriously?
- mywittyname 9y agoThe phrase, "work for a non-profit" implies some level of compensation. Had you instead said, "volunteer for a non-profit," then I would have understood that you were working in your spare time and for no pay.
