You said the magic word: passion!
For some reason they confuse passion with puppy-love or enthusiasm and they become either sarcastic with you or lose interest immediately, they interrupt the interview, and let you go without any warning.
Nowadays you need to go through SWAT and military training to be considered a candidate to get an email reply.
To me this is a clear indication that the market is extremely saturated and something big is about to happen...there's no other logical explanation behind this madness at all levels and categories of jobs.
- mattferderer 4y agoAs a long time dev with "passion", it's often my passion that has got me in trouble on projects. Having people on my team who are doing it just as a job for the money have helped prevent me from making mistakes. There is a long history of devs choosing a tech because they want to learn a new tech or expand their skills instead of the right tool for the business needs. I'm guilty of this. At the same time, a passionate employee put on the right task & managed well is a great asset. Like everything in software, "it depends", "trade-offs"...
