What surprises me the most is people making 6 figure salaries complaining about making 1k investments into themselves.
Absolutely worth it if it gets you the right job. Hell, most people pay multiples of that through recruiters and referrals.
- michaelt 7y agoIf you're on $130k and take two days of leave for interviews, you're already making a $1k investment.
- Zenbit_UX 7y agoHow many jobs do you apply to when you're searching? More than a few I'm sure. Maybe 10% of them get back to you with an interview request and that leads to a code challenge. It's highly plausible for a senior Dev to be simultaneously interviewing with multiple companies and have 5-10 pending code challenges. That shit adds up...
- conanbatt 7y agoIt also costs the company thousands of dollars in opportunity cost to interview 10 peolpe full days to hire 1. But the company sees the value in doing it, and many people dont see the value in doing it for themselves.
