@RustyCrab @Forestofenchantment @anemone @arcana @waifu This is actually pretty common, you can even see it in the few places willing to hire someone with less than two years of hard experience. Fun fact, in the US, age discrimination is only illegal if you're over 40. If they're under 40, get fucked.

@Forestofenchantment @RustyCrab @anemone @arcana @waifu it’s never what you know, it’s who you know. You don’t need to know C from C# if you aren’t categorically incompetent and have someone that already works at the company you’re trying to get into.

Especially now in the age of both AI generated CVs and AI scanning said CVs for buzzwords

@RustyCrab @anemone @arcana @waifu the fun part about job applications is the entire process is extremely opaque. They could deny you for all sorts of reasons and you just have to guess because 99% of them will never tell you anything. Not that I blame them, telling thousands of people "they're not qualified" or "you need to be able to work here without a visa" is probably nearly impossible

@waifu @RustyCrab @anemone @arcana I have absolutely no opinion in this whatsoever from my month of unemployment in which more than half of the places I apply to never bother even telling me no

@RustyCrab I doubt the venn diagram crossover between tw*tter masculinity grifters and Intel investors/employees is very high but at this point what do they have left to lose

@StaleDonut @RustyCrab if you did want to try fraud like that though now is probably the best time, even if you did get caught by the auditors that didn't get fired if you donate to anyone political beforehand they'll just pardon you

@StaleDonut @RustyCrab Someone would have to pay the taxes and file to the IRS and whatever state they are in on behalf of the fake person. I'm no tax auditor so I have no idea how they could actually either do that or get away with it but I assume unless you're the size of Deloitte the IRS will find and pound you into oblivion for both the PR and the obvious fraud.

I doubt it would be possible without the company actively fudging things when it's probably much easier to do an H1B.

@StaleDonut @RustyCrab Would that not raise a massive red flag in the IRS or something similar?
Good thing all the auditors keep getting fired/laid off to prevent anything like that from being found out if it was even possible.

@RustyCrab @PNS @rw @soapone LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft and yes, it is sometimes a hard requirement on applications.
A lot of those "easy apply" applications are done by playwright or equivalent scripts and are not actually eligible whatsoever (anecdotes on places like the recruitinghell subreddit mention those jobs get thousands of applicants sometimes where 99% of them are either not qualified or not legally allowed to work in the country of the posting [Indian]).

nuking my entire vscode install some keybindings didn't work the way they were supposed to despite removing all of them so I decided it would have been better to delete everything
