@PUMPKIN_PIE thanks! it’s the great projects that end in nothing all of a sudden that hurst the most. people rarely talk about those.
@MARINA_AGL I hear you. The ones that go on forever and keep leading you on then ghosted. Think of it as gaining experience in how not to act lol

@MARINA_AGL like I’ve had so many recruiters end a call with next steps then ignore my emails right after. Left a clear imprint in my mind

@PUMPKIN_PIE been there! a couple of times I had an interview with a hiring manager who couldn’t stop talking about themselves, so I said almost nothing in an hour lol
@MARINA_AGL girrrrrl I can’t. My last manager talked for 27/30 minutes and a day later, she’s like you’re hired!

@PUMPKIN_PIE Those were men and, I bet, they were looking to hire men huh Fun fact: I always get hired when a company has a woman in managemen. If there are men only, it’s almost always a no
@MARINA_AGL I’ve had a fair mix of mainly male and mainly female job environments. Personally cant say I’ve noticed a particular trend but could be field specific
@PUMPKIN_PIE I worked and still occasionally work with awesome men but in tech there are a lot of men who feel uncomfortable around women anyway. Some of my favourite colleagues were men and some of my dreadful colleagues were women. However, I notice when I’m looked down upon right from the start. Not sure, though, if they treat only women like that. Some people treat everyone like that
@MARINA_AGL i frel that last statement. sometimes they just have a reason to not like someone and just take it out on others. Like if you don’t impress them day one, then youre a hassle. Which is bogus

@PUMPKIN_PIE I feel we are taught to believe that whoever has more power is right and sometimes the hiring people take it too close to the heart
