I too wanted to comment on some of the points, as this just isn't a well written article and reads more like the rants of someone who isn't ready emotionally, letting the frustrations boil over into not evaluating the scenarios properly.

Emotional is the right word, yeah. At first I thought "ah, guess you gotta write a medium-article when you get a job these days, good for the resume eh", but this lad really got me
more sugar:
>#8) Last one — always trust your intuition and get in there and really talk to people. [...] The job I took — on paper not nec a match for me and glassdoor reviews were also not encouraging to me. But every time I talked to the engineering manager I was like hmmm, I kinda feel like this is a good fit for me. I’m not sure why yet, but my spidey senses say lots of green flags.
"Ok, so I have no numbers on applications, but its 20+. I have very high criteria, I'm selective asf. No one talks back to me, they're all super rude. But now I've got a job. Ok, it doesn't meet my criteria, and yeah, bad rep on glassdor, but my spidey senses say we're cool. #alwaysfollowyourintuition"
this should become a copypasta
