    The very first lesson you will learn from your very first job is that companies have no loyalty to anything but the bottom line. The days of guaranteed lifetime employment at a company disappeared decades ago.

    “Having hired over 500 engineers personally in my career, if your resume came across my list, I would definitely pass.”

    Way to tell on yourself, dude. Even if you worked in this role for 50 years, that means you still go through 10 engineers a year(save for the amount that needed to be hired for company growth). Seems like way too much turnover for any company that is worth working for

    Why are companies allowed to prioritize immediate money over literally everything, but when an employee does it suddenly “work isn’t all about money”

    This guy is a personal hero of mine. I stay at a company as long as I am benefitting from it.

    My current employer has been great but we are being bought by another company. As such, I may go find a new job.

    A warning, though, is that many companies are now putting weird job requirements in the process.

    I was denied a job recently because I had two contracts on my resume. They wanted each jobs to be at least two years and were looking for five.

    They couldn’t grasp why I only stayed six months on a six month contract or a year at a year contract.
