  • The problem is they expect everyone to jump through hoops for them as if all the candidates are the same and they just need to pick one.

    Had a job posting asking candidates to go on a goosehunt to find pictures of a landmark at some coordinates they provided, under the guise of "this proves you have attention to detail"... sod off.

    And I don't know why some posting still require CVs... like they don't realize ChatGPT exists to write the fluff that they aren't going to read.

    Seriously, job opportunities have almost always been a numbers game, there's an opportunity cost to investing time in these games that could be better spent applying to more jobs.

  • Life is all about probabilities, you can do everything right and still lose (however doing everything"right" is nigh impossible). You lose if they have a better candidate, you lose if their department is suddenly not in need of the position, etc.

    With that mentality, I don't bother with CVs, and just use the time saved to apply to more jobs or maybe some kind of relevant project.

  • I mean at this point anything goes. You know that if you have a layover in Hong Kong, they changed the law to be able to arrest you at the airport if you expressed dissident thought anytime in the past?

    They all but destroyed free expression if it criticizes government. Just another t1 mainland city now. And with it, the outflux of FDI, because there is no confidence in cult of personality leaders who are also conniving.

  • Well, don't think their IT positions are competitive when it comes to salaries, compared to major tech companies. Also considering their offices are in Vancouver, you probably aren't going to work their to make bank.

    It's a bit of a selection bias out of necessity..

  • Well run cost center departments don't boost quarterly results, ergo they are deprioritized.

    They are looking out for themselves rather then the company, because of the incentives in place.

    We are living in weird times where stock price doesn't really correspond with company health, so their actions reflect against that metric against all others.
