In 2019 I got catfished by a recruiter. They put together the perfect story for me. I would be able to give back, change the world, have a connection, do something real. They picked at my tumbler and opened the lock. The company I interviewed for was the same sugary sweet continuation. World's A-class HR department, it was like getting pumped to go on a cruise. Boy, was I about to get duped. I got hired, and, it's the same sad song I won't bore you with - I ended up in a cube as a professional bench warmer, never getting access to any environments, just being paid to keep a cube ready for a shrink wrapped, ready to go engineer someday, I guess. I only made it to month 5 before I blew out. My old company took me back. They got a much more loyal version of myself. I'm glad to have the experience - one and done. The same recruiter hit me up a few months later. I told him what had happened. He didn't seem phased. I quipped, 'So I am surprised you're even willing to talk to me'. He said I made it to 90 days there and he got paid, he was ready to do it again, and what did I want for round 2?
