[QUOTE="RexImperator, post: 1264449, member: 4894"] I don’t really know other than they said, “It’s not a good fit” and “We think you’re more of a hardware person than a software person. You should be doing mechanical design.” Debugging 30 year old legacy code in an obsolete language almost nobody uses anymore wasn’t exactly thrilling work, anyway. A few phone screens. Only two in-person interviews. Back in January, I was the second place choice for a position but didn’t get the job. No offers. Mostly mechanical design and similar type jobs. No idea. If I had to guess, I’d say perhaps the companies are looking for something specific, maybe some particular experience I lack, and I’m a generalist. Last fall, before getting the last job. [/QUOTE]
