Rarely, but it happens.
But I can’t shake off the feeling that in most cases recruiters completely misunderstood or misrepresented requirements for the position to get me to the technical interview stage. Like scheduling me for an interview with a team heavy with functional, big data processing while I barely have any purely functional experience.
Non-technical people doing recruitment work is a scam.
This. Sometimes it’s enough for one person to be OoO and suddenly you can code in silence, work is being done, standups go from 1 hour to 10 minutes. No extra stupid tasks randomly handed out.
I wish that person at my project had at least 3x more paid vacations.
