Good point. To add to that, I must say that something is odd with this story. Honestly, if I hired a 37-year old, that started programming at the age of 8, I would have thought that I was hiring a “senior developer” (or hopefully a “wizard”). Salary would be, appropriately, much higher than that for a beginner, or an intermediate. What I would expect is, that the “senior developer” will look at our code, understand what is right, and wrong, and tell us what to do to fix it. What I would not expect is, is that the “senior developer” is twiddling his thumbs waiting for a “guidance”. And is bitching about the quality of the code. Well, you were hired to tell us what to do, and to make things happen. What we expect is advice and leadership. If all you can offer is bitching & random complaints, thanks, but “this is not a perfect fit”.
