Recruiting outcomes are essentially random. Once you truly understand that then you can relax. If you get the job, you get it. If you don’t then you don’t.

Recruiting outcomes are essentially random. Once you truly understand that then you can relax. If you get the job, you get it. If you don’t then you don’t. Roll of the dice. Means nothing. I went to a job interview recently and the feedback from the recruiter was I couldn’t explain the (many) projects I’d built. My recollection was I wasn’t asked, in a 30 minute interview that started late. My lifetime of software development skills and experience was judged in minutes to be inadequate. Roll of the dice.
