I considered trying to start a service that hosted Ad-less podcasts. I figured I would get sued immediately. I just skip the first 2-5 minutes of most podcasts and the last 1-3 minutes and pray they don't have ads in the middle.

Really? Is that a real thing? (I'm a tech recruiter in Chicago) If I recruit someone good I don't expect them to nail the first interview. Sometimes they do and that's great but more often then not it takes some fine tuning.

Tech recruiter here: I have seen so many companies that lose out on good developers because they ask them to do a take home test. Obviously you want to vet the person technically but you should be able to do that through talking with them.

After graduating college and beginning to work in the real world my expectations have changed drastically. I feel a lot more like a cog then an individual. Even if I excell at work I'm just a well oiled cog.
