Can confirm, recently had trouble going back to corporate after working as CTO of VC backed startup. Hiring managers, despite my very good resume, judged me very hard and were nervous about having me on the team.

- ldjkfkdsjnv 2y agoI'm going back to my previous employer, where they have a written track record of what I did at the company. But even then, many teams at the company do not want me, and feel like I am both overqualified for the technical roles, but also underqualified/a bad cultural fit to lead a big engineering team
- throwaway2016a 2y agoSorry to hear that. Sounds like you and I are kind of in the same boat. Unfortunately my previous employer that wasn't a startup no longer exists (it was 14 years ago after all, they got crushed by the 1..2 punch of the dot com crash and the 2008 recession).
