Tech companies are famous for coddling their workers but after mass layoffs the industry's culture has shifted. Engineers say that getting hired can require days of work on unpaid assignments.

    Sometimes, the less you say, the better. You have to manipulate them and do not worry about if it’s bad/wrong. In the corporate world, most are just greedy assholes who don’t care about who you are.

    Don’t ever lie on your resume, just make it glittery on how THEY want to see it, not how you feel about it.

    It’s a sad world we are living in right now, good luck don’t ever give up !

      Also, they often don’t read more than a few lines. I applied as a dev for a company which I had many friends inside. They all knew my skills. The problem was the high-level managers because they didn’t read the memo (and didn’t even read my CV), assumed I can’t do engineering because I was an academic at the time.
