Am authentically interested.

Hmmm.

I see your point, but if you read the article, this is still 2-3x higher than in previous time frames.

That sounds like an ideal way to find a new job.

What specifically about the job made you change your mind re: taking time off?

How did you go about it? Did you only apply to jobs you where knew someone there?

In your experience has it increased lately?
Re:Ask HN: Did you get a new job in 2024? on Thursday May 16, 2024 @09:34AM (#40378267)
It’s from October 2023, but I feel it is still relevant.

The new “ford assembly line” for us at commit.dev is:

1) Do it manually. 2) Scale with no-code. 3) Optimize and protect with custom software.

Technical interviews are only good at indicating whether or not someone is good at Technical interviews.

The best way to figure out if someone is a culture fit? Ship code with them.

If you can start off on a contract, do that. It is the best way to even out the power dynamic of the interview process.

If you are not in a place where you can do that, check out what we are building at www.commit.dev to Re-build career transitions around the engineer.
