Why Aren't You Playing By The Rules Of The Game

The modern tech hiring process in all its absurd glory! Companies expect candidates to endure multiple assessments, tech screens, and interviews like some twisted loyalty test. Meanwhile, developers with options are just like "nope, found someone who values my time and pays me what I'm worth." The recruiter's meltdown is the chef's kiss - they're not mad you didn't get the job, they're mad you didn't properly submit to their ridiculous gauntlet. Nothing more satisfying than skipping straight to the offer while HR is still planning your fourth interview about how you'd escape from a blender if you were the size of a peanut.
