After graduating university I got fed after a month of applying online and not hearing back.
I printed my CV as an A0 billboard and stood on the street in the center of the city for a few days. Got my first job like that and a couple of interview invites, including for a PE firm.
- BonoboIO 4y agoYou gotta have balls to do that. I don’t know when this happened, but if you work in the tech industry today, after 30 minutes a black car would stop, 2 guys would take a hood over your head and abduct you. You would wake up in a nice office, with a signing bonus on your desk, a new MacBook Pro and an open end work contract. Job market in Europe is insane for the tech industry, companies buying smaller companies not for the ip, product or engineering knowledge, but just for the people that work there. And this was years ago. Like „we need 30 engineers but get none, f** it we are doing it live, buy a company that matches“
- user_named 4y agoYeah I should try again. Currently not in the EU or US.
