Your tool looks awesome! Yes there are lots of such tools.I should have worded mine as 'something along the lines of ...' instead of saying that its similar.
Startups tend to work faster and schedule things pretty quickly. I found that the bigger companies are really good at putting people in a limbo and not bothering that much unless they really want you or if you were referred by someone at the company.
I also found that startups are usually more communicative and move more quickly. The bigger companies go through HR and a lot gets lost in between. After finishing all the interviews at one company, they told me that they were interested but will only speed up the process and offer me if I get another offer which is strange thing to say. I understand they dont have a position open now but still.
Yes thanks for the advice. I do hope to follow up with some calls soon.
Thanks! Yes I am starting to understand thats how it works. Job hunting is a lot similar to selling. If I as a person (or product) is able to be 'wanted', I can be hired faster.

from the ask-hn dept.
Let me explain. I have been interviewing actively with tech companies and startups recently having already done about 15 interviews with different companies and into multiple rounds. I go through the phone screening, technical round and then meeting them on site. So far so good. Sometimes I know that the interview did not go well but sometimes I feel that it was really good. But after this...
The design looks great and congrats on launching! May I ask what is your tech stack if you dont mind me asking.
Haha yea, I am going to delve into your code and see if I can contribute. But nice work! Your site is probably getting hammered now with the traffic but I am going to come back and check it out.
Ahh Nice! I was going to start working on something similar to this.
This looks like its good for a quick prototype for inexperienced devs (or non technical people or people who want to experiment). Depending on what work you can do, college students may ask you to do their homework.

The app looks great! If you dont mind me asking, whats your dev stack.
This actually happened to one of the people I know. That person had to go through a lot just to get out of the stranglehold of those people. Literally screwed. They were paying half of market and also not even paying it on time. Unfortunately its difficult to pursue a legal route against these people because of the cost to pay lawyers and also the fact that they do it in such a way that its borderline legal/illegal. The only thing you can do is to save other people who may fall into the same trap.
That looks good. Do you know where I can find the code for this or maybe something similar?
