I know managers love that term, but I think I’ve come to hear it as an insult… Sorta like being called an unprofessional “jack of all trades” budget handyman that does everything mediocre…

    Wow, too bad the Venn diagrams for those two are two completely separate unconnecting circles. I swear recruiters, just so freaking dumb

      It wasn’t the recruiter, it was the HM that made the decision. Dodged that bullet. The recruiter was great, we actually hung out some time after. He even bought me one of the devices I would have been working on and gave it to me after the interview, possibly as an attempt to butter me up, because he was excited about landing me.

        that’s fair, mine was a recruiter so I just assumed. Always frustrating that our careers hang in the balance of people who don’t understand what we do

          My current employer is run by highly technical people, and I know for a fact that the CTO is smarter than I am. It’s refreshing.
