Being self-employed my entire career changes a lot of the "stats" like I have no idea what my "base salary" is (I've never had one), & rejections look a *whole lot different*. Losing a bid is daily business, & we also get to reject interested clients who feel like a bad fit.On twitter.com

Mozilla contracted us for a couple years, then asked to hire us, interviewed us over several months, & rejected all but one of us. 🙄 Then they contracted us again for the video channel. Over 20yr that's my only rejection… and my only application. I'm 0 for 1 getting hired.Permalink On twitter.com

Because… these companies aren't monolithic. Different teams & people want different things. Big companies are full of politics & internal chaos. And having hired people: there often isn't any "best candidate" - just a lot of good devs, with minor tradeoffs in minutia & timing.Permalink On twitter.com
