You might be cursed (as an engineer)
Looking back at my career and my recent job search, I found a problem which might curse your engineering career
As my frequent readers know, I did a big change in the past 8 months. I quit my job, sold my possession, went to travel and build a business, to eventually relocated to a new country and started a different job.
Starting a job involved searching for one. And while I picked the worst time to search for a job, the 2023 tech recession, I don’t, usually, like to blame external factors for a lack of success. And so I needed to find a different explanation why an experienced engineer like myself was rejected from more than 100 job applications.
I have a theory why, and I want to share this theory with you. If you are a senior engineer, and you are cursed, just like myself, I share some tips how to lift the curse. If you are not yet cursed, or did not reach the senior level, I share advice how to avoid getting the curse.
