On job interviews

Job interviews these days take about six rounds on average, cost you half a year of gray hair, four sweat-destroyed t-shirts and then, in the end, the nice lady tells you that you were fantastic but they are doing restructuring.

I guess I now understand the ever present hints of them being a bit chaotic company, always changing.

I just wished they were able to keep it all together through the offer and my acceptance of it. Might have been okay.

And I even let their engineering manager see me shirtless in the shower. He wasn’t asking for it, but hey, if it helps. It didn’t.

Not sure what his wife was thinking. I don’t have a lot of experience here, in fact, I am quite new to it. Didn’t have enough time to get a proper read on them. Or maybe I was just a little ashamed to look their children in the eyes. They were all just standing there.

You know, I keep thinking I could’ve been a stripper. But I have made a few mistakes in my life, took a few wrong turns. And now I am a product manager with 20 years of experience in engineering.

I might go back to the other job listings that are open. Even though they are open because only Leonardo da Vinci could get to the second round. Sadly, he’s not available to manage your stakeholders.
