I might have submitted a resume to IBM back in the day, when you still used paper ones at college career fairs (maybe you still do?).
In retrospect, I'm glad I never heard back from them; but people need money to pay off bills and loans, and so did I. It had nothing to do with me sharing IBM's vision or strategy for "innovation" in any way.
- ryandrake 3y agoYea, If you are actually choosing where you work, you are one of the lucky few. Probably 99% of us don’t get a dozen offers to choose our passion from when job hunting. We get one offer after a lot of searching and take it because we like to have a roof over our heads. Sure, we vaguely “choose” where we work by deciding where to send our resumes, but a vanishingly small number wake up and say “my passion is to work at Apple” and then walk through the front door.
