4 calls in 2 days wow
spring pivot
Yeah and one was added the same day lol. My recruiter was very proactive
It’s usually easier to get matches if you are open to Bay area

they have to like u back?
i thought it was if they pull ur resume u just gotta choose em
spring pivot
Yeah. The team match is like another round where the hiring manager has to pick you out of other candidates they are also interviewing
It’s a two way street

damn so u could pass VO and never get matcheD?

But you have a year I believe
So as long as your recruiter is finding you matches should be good

Had no other choice. But I don’t think I was determined the whole time. I only locked in for google lol
It’s hard to stay motivated but this channel helped me a lot
Oh nah my current job is the shittiest job ever. I teach AP computer science to kids that cant do 3+4
I only took it to maintain my OPT
Yes 🙏🏻
