I thought the following comment from the Twitter thread was kinda funny:
> "So basically they’ve already given it to Michael Abrash but HR said they have to look open minded."
- twobitshifter 5y agoIt’s actually not that much of a joke (although it may not be Abrash) - often higher level positions have the job listing tailored to only one candidate that they already know is interested. To satisfy legal you have to advertise the position externally and internally but if you want someone specific setting unreasonable minimum requirements, that only they have, is a way to get there. Similar things happen in consulting contracts all the time. The RFP will be written for a particular company.
- draw_down 5y agoIt seems to me like this is the proper takeaway here. In general I agree tech job ads have requirements that don’t make sense. But here it seems like they already know who they’re going to hire, whether it’s Abrash or someone else.
