I resisted getting one out of principle till I realised this. Landed a job at FANG ~7 years ago after doing so and that $30 subscription has probably paid for itself 20,000x over at this point.

What is the principle?

Why would the subscription matter if you're not even getting interviews? The only relevant metric is your personal network, everything else is done.

Even referrals have to go through the interview process at every company I’ve ever worked for.

A lot of referrals would not make it past interviews because they thought they were going to be handed the job without question and came unprepared.


I currently work at a FAANG and applied through the normal site. I didn't apply for years until I attended a Google event and a recruiter just told me to apply on the website.

>Open a bottle of champagne anyone?

Over the top European celebration that doesn't translate to the rest of the world. Especially countries in the Middle East that don't drink.


The real propaganda is pretending people weren't complaining about copyright for decades and crying "Pirating isn't stealing!!" when it came to them getting GTA for free.

Suddenly, you really seem to care about copyright laws though.


Or European, for that matter. Don't fancy submitting my ID to get access.

Germany is the country where AfD is about to win big.

Good friends you're choosing there.

China has it's own launchers which shows it's decoupling from Europe now. It's over for Europe as countries race to be independent from them.


The far right in Europe isn't comparable even to the right in the US fyi.

If AfD about to win BIG? Or are you just skimming the headlines?

Good one. If anything, this is a refreshing change from the daily "look how independent and free Europe is now that the commune of Nowhereaux's planning committee switched from Excel to LibreOffice" article

ONLY? Here deep in the Amazon jungle I would expect 110 per HOUR!

>And you know the funniest part? It has been working for years and will keep!

On Canadians too. Remember what party was leading the polls before Trump started mean tweets?


Correction: remember what party was leading before they had to fight a far more popular opposition, before they became the recommended choice of the US, before they tried to import the American culture wars into Canada and before they infamously twiddled their thumbs and did nothing while the Americans were starting to talk of annexation?

This is what Europeans are worried about, while thousands of you die from heat warnings?

I don't know what Europeans are worried about. You'd have to ask them. Who's dying from "heat warnings"? Are you trying to make my point about rampant idiocy in my country?

If you were assuming that I'm European for some dumb reason, then rest assured I'm not worried about this passing thought on the writing style of a publication I never read.

Thank you for your concern, but I will be alright.


The article is shining a light on a serious, potentially devastating situation in Europe. You, due to ignorance or misunderstanding, point out that Americans are supposedly stupid because millions of dollars are roughly millions of euros. But the underlying problem is that it is the Europeans that are worried the most about climate change, and are the ones that have refused to implement mitigating strategies that would help overcome the challenge. They lack energy resources, the will to take action, and rely on blaming others for their predicament. But it is stupid Americans with their energy, air conditioning, and water reservoirs.

Outside of EU jurisdiction too. Would prefer not to need a VPN and submitting my ID to see domains.
