    Except that current pope has been working with that org for a number of years and is a known quantity vs. some outside guy you’re bringing in from the cold. A nice try at an analogy, but it doesn’t quite stack up.

      Nah, my place still requires you to apply as to not to be unfair. It still takes weeks.

      Except you still don’t need 5 rounds of interviews since interviews don’t show how hardworking someone is, or even their knowledge. They are a shitty test and a half an hour of conversation. Having more rounds just makes a statememt about your org, which says “we saw how google drills people, we’ll do the same, offer shitty pay and expect good quality engineers to appear magically”.

        I’m a lazy bastard but I’m damn good at interviews. I’ve been hired on as a manager at two different places only for me and them to realize it was a terrible, terrible mistake.

        I have the skills, I’m just too damn nice and before you know it everyone I’m “managing” is my buddy and the whole thing falls apart.

        I never mean for it to happen, it’s partly just the culture here. Everyone is a close friend after a week deep in Appalachia. That’s just how we roll.

        Anyways, bye, love y’all. See ya next comment. Be saaafe!
