Those of you who have worked in tech...

or maybe even do currently? corporate 9 to 5 type of job i mean.

care to share your experience? do you miss it (probably not, right? maybe some aspects of it?) how was your boss? was the searching / interviews the worst part of it?


my experience so far. few applications sent, two technical interviews: one went well, the other they ended not even five minutes in, for no obvious reason it seemed... then feedback came in: CTO did not like the fact that i have an active project / company. i am likely to quit as soon as i secure funding, he said. not sure what to think about that...

overall, can't say that i like this corporate 5-step process to get hired here in UK. and US is even worse i read somewhere. those shirts and ties like to overcomplicate things, don't they?


the hiring process for the one full-time job i've had in adult went not much different than this:

- hey, you're that guy from Thailand who used to post on gfy a lot back in the day, right?
- yes
- still looking for work? got php / sql experience? can you do this task?
- sure
- good, you're in

and that was great, loved that job and the people, they seemed pleased with me too... and then that horrible thing happened in Georgia... anyway...

i say gfy is gangsta, corporate, so far, seems boring and gay.

please tell your story, make me feel better... or worse
