In what universe is this an acceptable analogy for anything?
Edit: Make sure to include the quote.
- sieabahlpark 6y agoIf you (a low quality candidate) run into a FANG company with a job offer from a no-name company _just_ to create pressure it's no different than the analogy. FANG doesn't want you before and they don't want you now, and they're also repulsed about the way you tried to get them to budge. Recruiters and hiring managers are people too and the secret in the industry is most people are not qualified for the work being hired. Hiring incurs risk and the interview is risk mitigation. So if some low end candidate comes in trying to light a fire under themselves they will burn twice as bright but dismissed in a quarter of time.
- darkerside 6y agoAre you offended by the analogy in some way?
