10 years ago I passed five interviews at Microsoft. They called me, said congratulations, and asked me for a couple of days to send me a financial offer. Two days passed, and the contact person messages me, *hey sorry, change of plans, the position is no longer available, so we cannot hire you anymore". I joined a smaller company, and I'm still working there ten years later. I made a career here and I'm happy, I feel valued and that I my work really matters.

It’s important for all developers to have a life outside of software engineering. Go the gym , hunt , fish woodwork , go for long walks , learn to draw, homestead , jogs and hikes etc . If you put software engineering jobs on a pedestal you’ll be all the more crushed when you get rejections. Just some advice developers should consider.

[@SEFcool]

The more i interview, and the times i think back to when i was hired, and the many times i've been rejected, ive come to realize two things 1. most of the time the person who you deal with for like 75% of the interview process (HR person or recruiter) doesn't know too much, and will really say whatever to keep you interested until you are no longer needed. 2. there is a very healthy amount of luck involved with getting the job you actually want.

[@pat1157]

What I have learned is to leave emotions out of the process. Be excited, but not attached. It's all business. This also helps in technical interviews, so you don't feel the weight of the world on your shoulders. It will happen if it's meant to be.

[@davestorm6718]

Thanks for putting this out. Been rejected for a year and a half and had only 9 actual interviews (outside of recruiters). The problem I did find out was that I had my own programming business and, typically, that is guaranteed a rejection/ghosting due to not working with a team of developers (I did get some honest answers, and that's #1 answer: no team experience = no consideration). Another reason for rejection was being self-taught (and no degree - though went to college in the 1990s for 4 years with 3 majors, but never finished due to $$$). That's pretty much being frowned upon (not sure why - since they always seem want a go-getter/self-starter). Another reason was interesting: No social media presence. Since I've focused a ton on security, I kept my profile(s) private and only discuss business (no politics nor "hot" topics), and have aliases as well. Another reason for rejection was not keeping up with some particular framework (Angular was one. I said, what's wrong with Vue?) - about the only viable rejection - I totally understand. Another reason was not having a particular skillset with a particular cloud (which kinda makes sense, however, once you've been on one "cloud", they're pretty much all the same and you can pick up a new one's syntax in a day or 2!) - better excuse, but, c'mon, really? (not to mention, if they're true Agile, most cloud tasks would be delegated to a different job positions - billing, security, container mgmt, routing/firewall, backups, disaster recovery, etc - not put all these tasks on devs). Some rejections, I am grateful for: There was a position that required mastery of Java, C#, VB and Ruby, disaster recovery, front end (including artwork), middle tier, back end (Oracle, SQLServer, and DB2), 3 clouds + hardware experience in their own datacenter. Had to have a PhD in Computer Science and their compensation for all of this was a measly $42/hr! (you can be a Google Adwords expert and get more than this!). If someone w/a PhD had this kind of experience, I'd presume they wouldn't dumb enough to work for this rate, unless they had a felony record. One rejection was brutally honest: "We're looking for younger candidates"

[@Austriangeek1]

@@abhisheklingwal7961 Step 1. Get a mentor, find someone that you admire in the field and ask him/her if they could mentor you. Some will say yes, some will say no, just keep on asking. 2. Spend 95% of your time learning something that is or will be in high demand in the future(Google Cloud Services, IT security etc)... Spend 5% on Networking, go to events, coding camps etc.. 3. Dress up for the interview(shirt and tie) and smile. Companies are looking for people with knowledge of the field and people who can work in a team.

[@borreLore]

Thanks for this video. It really helped me with my own failure. I've been learning software development for the past 5 years while I worked in an IT job. A few months ago, I got laid off, so I decided to go all in. I gave up most of the things I loved doing, and study/practice non-stop every single day. Despite this, I absolutely suck at algorithms. I have been struggling with leetcode easy/medium questions and today after struggling to solve a single question for hours only to fail, I had a meltdown. Unfortunately, my savings and my time is running out, so I have been increasingly frustrated with how stupid I must be to spend so long on single problems when my peers can solve them in seconds or minutes. It has kept me from applying to jobs because at this rate I will only embarass myself if they give me even a simple algorithm to solve. It has made me question if I am even suitable for this role or if I have wasted the past 5 years of my life. I'm glad I am not the only one that takes failure poorly. Also thanks for all your leetcode videos. They have helped me understand problems so that I can tackle them myself.

[@sivl9964]

I'm an engineer and I've been on many interviews, the way I get over the whole rejection thing is to just expect the worse and hope for the best. I usually don't expect to get any jobs I interview for but because my expectations are so low when I do get the job it's a welcome surprise. I'd say I'm around 30% on my success rate with interviews but I only need one job so if I do at least 10 interviews I'd have 3 offers and that's good enough for me.

There's a weird hiring culture in tech where companies will take your time and put you through this long interview process, but then if you get rejected they won't give you any truthful information on why that happened. It makes it hard to learn what you need to learn, but honestly you may also want to take it as a sign that these are not companies where you actually want to work. They often end up hiring people who are good at interviewing over people who are good at the actual job. Rejections suck but you only need one acceptance at the end of the day. And if you don't get that, create your own opportunity. Best of luck.

I have been rejected from a lot of companies and some companies didn't even reply to me even though I tried to communicate with the recruiters but no one responded. The reason I get rejected is because I don't have a previous professional in such a field. I'm working on myself at home to build projects etc. to gain more experience but the problem is no company is willing even to give you the oppurtionity to train you and see if you really have what it takes for this job, Moreover, how do some companies expect from fresh gradutaes to have 2/3+ years experience when they have just graduated?! sometimes the demand for the experience for an entry level job is a little bit silly especially when you are a fresh gradute.

[@10aDowningStreet]

A big part of a hiring decision comes down to personality, an interview is akin to a dumb high school popularity contest, the amount of times I've seen people far less experienced and qualified get a position over someone who just acts charming, outgoing and extrovert for the interview (despite often turning out to be a dick or incompetent), well, it kind of sucks but people are shallow. I just have an act I've perfected. I can be a charming extrovert for the length of an interview, once I'm in I'll just revert to my natural introverted state, I go to work for money, I have no interest in making friends or being popular etc. No offence meant, idk how you act at interview, but I'd rather have the truth over someone trying to spare my feels. To me you come across as kind of emotionally flat, a bit miserable, somewhat monotone. Most interviewers wont have the balls to tell you that when asking for feedback, they'll simply choose someone who makes them feel good when they're conversing and give a cottonwool excuse to someone who is perhaps far better qualified but didn't come across well. Also many jobs where I am discriminate against caucasian/male/straight, that is not my opinion btw, they specify that only candidates from x racial background , or x sexuality need apply etc. Perhaps try to insinuate during the process you're non binary or something along those lines. Employers seem to lap that stuff up, it enables them to declare they're an equal opportunity employer, which is beneficial for the bottom line in most cases. I'm not going to go into the rights or wrongs of that, from the company perspective it boils down to nothing but profit motivation, but it is what it is, so perhaps use it to your advantage.

Im in a slightly diff field, security, but the job interview process majorly blows. Mainly just even getting interviews. market it flooded with experienced people right now.

Completely relatable. The hardest lesson I learned in all of 2022, is that the answer to the question "why did I get rejected".. is, who gives a fuck? I don't mean we should avoid constructive feedback if we can actually get it, but it's a better use of time to be where we're actually valued and wanted.

You do not have bad luck, it just didn't work out. There are more opportunities, just keep going! 🔥

Great video for those who want to apply and are scared from getting rejected or for those who have been rejected. One question I ask myself: What do you think about founding your own company?

Loll I got rejected by MongoDB for a technical writer internship last year, although my rejection came down to me being nervous and screwing some stuff up (so I was to blame). Thankfully, I was able to find another opportunity, but I felt devastated back then. There’s probably something better around the corner.

We love you Nick! Keep it up bro! You're always delivering great content! You're going to be stronger and much better off going forward!

This is why I’m very content with working a smaller or mid size company as a developer. FANG companies are way too competitive to work at
