I found out the other day that there was an exodus of senior devs at my old company very shortly after I'd quit my job last year lol. Probably because the company was being stingy about pay rises at a time when UK devs were suddenly 20% cheaper to hire. Feels good to know you were ahead of the curve.

Has anyone here ever walked into an interview set up by a recruiter and been quizzed on poo poo that you never claimed to have known, only to realise the recruiter added it to your resume without asking?

To get a doc I'd need to compile it to HTML and open it in word and save to doc, and it would still look worse than anything the recruiter could do to it lol.

I have a latex resume because I wanted to learn latex at some point and it turns out it's easy to keep that stuff up to date if you never gently caress with the layout again

both word and latex are bad but at least people who use word usually have the excuse that it's the default, latex is "I went out of my way to make an ugly document nobody can read because using a mouse is terrifying"
