- OrangeMonkey 4y agoIn case you don't come back to this unless pinged, Etheryte posted a pastebin of it. The real hero.

- OrangeMonkey 4y agoI agree with your suggestion, but I don't know how we can reasonably do that. At senior levels, it is very expected to put in an appropriate level of notice. My particular field is tight knit - we all know each other (life science). It seems the only way I could protect myself is to get an offer, accept it, start on say Monday the 25th and on Monday the 25th also - after I have sat down and gotten through security - send my boss a 'I am quitting' text. What do you think? How can we make this advice work in the real world? or is it just an unperfect trade off?
- john_the_writer 4y agoNot the offer, but the signed contract. Before that it's just like a quote on work you need done. It has no binding.
- mr90210 4y agoWas it because he/she was Ukrainian or, was it because Apple has a strict hiring process that could not be flexible enough to give a pass when the country where the candidate come from is at war? Unless the person managing that hiring process is a supporter of Russia, I can’t see why Apple would not hire somebody due to the Ukrainian citizenship.
- Cryptonic 4y agoI can't believe your nationality was the reason. I know Ukrainians at Google, Amazon, Meta and Apple working as devs. These are all SDE jobs in Europe.
- mr90210 4y agoExactly. The author misunderstood the real reason of his rejection.
