I wouldn't wait on this. The post has been up for a long time and appears to only be collecting CVs. I applied early last year and never got a response, and many others report the same.

SSO is down, Azure Portal Down and more, seems like a major outage. Already a lot of services seem to be affected: banks, airlines, consumer apps, etc.

wow, crazy to see yarn being so slow, when it used to beat npm by a lot, at a company i was we went from npm, to yarn, to pnpm, back to npm. Nowadays i try to use Bun as much as possible, but Vercel still does not uses natively for Next.

Sometimes it’s because of a company’s bad reputation, other times simply because they never follow up. I’ve noticed a lot of the same posts showing up month after month, with people complaining that companies don’t respond. That makes it look like some companies are just collecting information.

As for the downvoted posts, if you check the profile, you’ll often see the same one being reposted every month, sometimes going back two years.

Congrats on the success! I’ve had a similar experience since I started moving more money around. My local branch started calling me too. I live in a busy area where lines at the bank can take hours, but now they told me I can just message someone whenever I go and they’ll move me to the front.

The other day I was just poking around the investment section of the app to see what kind of rates they offered, and almost immediately I got a call from my personal banker, haha. I actually ended up trying the investment since the returns looked good.

i’ve seen this role come up a few times over the past couple months, i applied a while back but didn’t hear back. Just curious, are you still reviewing applications, building a database for later, or do you usually just dismiss candidates without replying?

I would agree with the post, in this case your dad knew a lot about his trade, so it wasn't a new industry for him.

The coffeeshop example is great, i've seen that a couple times, where people that like drinking coffee, open a coffeeshop, and since they don't know a lot about beans, or equipment, they end up doing bad purchases, choosing bad providers, and the result is just bad.
