I had a round of interviews with a company and the talked several times with the tech recruiter.
At the end the things didn’t workout by 1 thing or another.
Several months later, same tech recruiter contacted me by my personal email saying that she had an opening for me, thing is she wasn’t working for the same company; she didn’t even introduce herself she just said that she found my email on linkedin (I didnt have any review by her at the time).
That just sound like when I salesperson quit and moves to another company in the same industry and tries to steal all the previous clients.
1 week later I got a call from one of her peers, saying that he got my phone from her and had a great opening for me.Of course I said no
I was approached by a recruiter for a job on Reston, Virginia as a WLS admin.
The offer was tempting, expense enough for pay the rent and then some, 1 round trip every year for me and my wife and an open salary. Bad thing about the salary is that, even if it was open, it will be on MXN, so if the MXN devaluates against the USD I will be making less money on and more expensive place…why would I agree to that? If the salary would have been on USD, I will still be thinking about it but on MXN, no way jose
Some years ago, I applied to an outsourcing company that provided some service to HP, I passed the interviews with HP and got an offer for little more than 2.15x what I was earning at the time.
I hesitated a lot because:
It was using a mix payroll(mostly bonus and just 1 minimum salary via payroll), which means I will get less money for my retirement( I could just put some voluntarily to avoid this but consider 2).
I wanted 2.5x what I was earning at the time and I knew if I moved then, I should wait before moving to another job for at least 2 years.
I decided to pass on the offer because of those 2 reasons, the tech recruiter wasn’t to happy about that but hey that’s business.
It all turn out for the best for me, 1 week after that, HP broke into HP inc and enterprise, so I would have been fired pretty soon.
So I had a second interview with PD, first interview went OK but they @ the end, the job opening didn’t come through, so after a few months another recruiter contacted me and we started another process.
This second interview it was with a couple of MX guys, they asked a lot of questions regarding Java basics, OO on Java, keywords, threads and stuff like that, pretty simple…and if I remember correctly, they said that polymorphism could be done with overload and overwrite; something that has come up quite popular.
This is something I discussed with LACS one time because I was curious about it, he told me that the idea has become popular but he thought the same as me, is not really polymorphism when you do and overload. He even said that there was polymorphism a @compile-time and @execution-time, according to this new line that wasn’t as close to the original OOP.
