I tried to get a new position in June/July. I asked for slightly above top salary bands for language/stack. I also tried to find a place without daily standups. I did many interviews/rounds/tests with a dozen places but never got that final offer either. It was strange the number of interview rounds at different places without even lowball offer. It felt like people were just interviewing to interview but too afraid to make the offer. After a month I stopped the process and just remained at my current job.
I think companies are afraid to hire but hr needs to do things so they interview.
Half of the places I interviewed are still looking for that senior developer and have new monthly job ads. There is something preventing hiring and a different force pushing for conversations/interviews
- brezelgoring 4y agoThey have turnover and must keep a healthy pool of candidates ready to go, open positions or not. This is especially true if the interviewing process is long.
- patrakov 4y agoShort daily standups with only your team, that do lead to useful synchronization of understanding within this team, are still infinitely better than bi-weekly 40-minute-long whole-company meetings where most of the time the sales guys announce their new collateral which is absolutely not relevant for me as a tech guy.
