Going through this right now.
Side note: what the hell kinda George Costanza level lies are you people telling to get hired in this market? 17 years of experience with AI? It’s 17 years of experience with AI isn’t it.
“I want to work here in particular.”

Never hear back
…success???That’s the default in Germany in every single branch and I hate it. You won’t hear back from 4/5 applications.

Don’t forget to add the assignments that take days.
Last time a prospective employer tried to give me an assignment, I just flat out told them I wasn’t going to do it.
I’ve been happily employed by them for almost four years now.
I was, for quite some time, a hiring manager in some capacity or another. I HAD to administer take home assignments. I couldn’t get the C-Suite to see the folly, and even our CIO a developer themselves raised through the ranks wouldn’t even bother trying though he detested them.
C-Suite […] folly
No need to name them twice!
How did you tell them no? Just straight out?
I tried to find the email about it, if it was indeed an email where I expressed myself, but to no avail. It was pretty late in the process and there was clear pressure from both sides to complete the process, which I think worked in my favor, alongside my strong references and decades-long career.
I ghosted an interview for that. They send me a link to login to their platform and do some tasks. I just didn’t do the interview.
You could always say “no” and then see if it turns into an opportunity. Honest communication can open more doors than you might expect.
