But was it correct? Were you actually over-qualified for the first job?

It was correct since he managed to get a better job that he thought he wouldn't get but gemini told him he could get. Basically he underestimated the value of his experiences.

  What does the employer think, though? The trouble while hiring is that you generally have to assume that the worker is growing in their abilities. If there is upward trajectory in their past experience, putting them in the same role is likely to be an underutilization. You are going to take a chance on offering them the next step. But at the same time people tend to peter out eventually, some sooner than others, not able to grow any further. The next step may turn out to be a step too great. Getting the job is not indicative of where one's ability lies.

  > Basically he underestimated the value of his experiences. How can anyone here confirm that's true, though? This reads to me like just another AI story where the user already is lost in the sycophant psychosis and actually believes they are getting relevant feedback out of it. For all I know, the AI was just overly confirming as usual.

      Yea, with an AI resume. Are you missing the point, or do you genuinely consider LLM output a proof of merit?

        I don't think I'm missing the point. Getting the job is real-world validation that cannot be explained by LLM sycophancy-inspired delusions.

In this case yes, absolutely. It would have basically been going back to doing what I was doing 20 years ago, and I've grown a lot since then. Though a mix of impostor syndrome, desperation, depression and medical reasons that stopped me making a complete career change after redundancy, I'd settled for something I would have quickly hated. Most humans involved were just glad I was doing something though...
