I love Stripe. Huge fan.
But if I get an email from someone, anyone, at a company who wants to 'grab lunch' and talk about me working for company XYZ, I'll pass.
I mean, he says this is what has been the most effective for them, so I can't argue that point.
But the reality is I personally wouldn't ever take anyone up on this.
Actually, now that I think about it, I would probably only respond if it was an email actually from the dev manager or exec who wanted to talk to me about working on his team.

- gk1 12y agoCan you explain why?
- gdb 12y agoThanks for the kind words! I'm not sure I fully follow your comment — what's the distinction you're drawing between managers/execs wanting to talk about their team, and someone wanting to talk about working at the company? Is it the specificity of them wanting you for their particular team?
- silverbax88 12y agoBecause who you specifically work for matters the most. And getting contacted by another dev just reeks of them being put up to it by the company. I don't want to work for a company that makes it's developers go out and have lunch as a headhunter. I know I wouldn't want to have to reach out to people I didn't know and 'have lunch' with them just to see if they would be good people to work with.
