once I was told I'd be receiving an offer after extensive on-site interviews etc., what the salary would be, what relocation would do, we started talking start date the next day the recruiter called and told me they were withdrawing my offer: the manager of the team I'd be joining decided to veto my hiring because I didn't have a degree that manager was out on maternity leave at the time and thus hadn't participated in any of the screening or interviewing, but evidently felt really strongly about everyone having a college degree, so even though her management had already approved everything she still got to take it back the recruiter sounded pissed when she told me this, and I think it's why she spilled the degree details rather than just say "we changed our mind, can't tell you why, sorry"

Citizen Tayne posted:It's the companies that don't know anything about development that institute ridiculous requirements, I wouldn't have gotten into the company I currently work for as a dev had I tried to join them directly instead of through a contractor. They want six sigma certs and a master's degree now to apply directly for an entry level position. and they probably only want to pay $45K for that position too, and are absolutely unwilling to pay more than $65K which is just coincidentally the maximum pay actually required for those on an H1-B visa (you didn't think they actually had to be paid true market rates did you?)
