Another day, another job rejection.
It's been almost three months since my layoff, and I keep getting close, and then losing out at the end.
This time, I had an interview with the hiring manager, two live coding challenges, and then another interview with upper management. In the end, they told me I didn't have enough front-end experience for the position. They had another candidate with more front-end experience than me. They wanted to bring me on anyway as another back-end developer, but the budget didn't warrant it.
So, I didn't do anything wrong, and they were impressed with my experience and talent, but still not enough to get the job.
This is frustrating, but also really getting scary. My savings is not going to last forever, and my insurance coverage ends at the end of August.
Anybody with any leads on jobs that maybe aren't posted yet, for a Senior or Staff developer in PHP or go (or some other language that I can learn), I would be forever grateful for them.
Thanks. Already applied there. Didn't even get so much as an automated response.
Well THAT didn't go as hoped@danjones000 unrelated to finding a position, but assuming you're in the US loss of coverage due to a job loss is considered a "qualifying event" for the ACA marketplace. Plans might not be quite the same as what you had through an employer, but still better than nothing. there’s also a definite argument that the difference between a bronze plan and a platinum plan is whether you pay for it in premiums or as used. There are maximum out of pockets on all of them. also important to be aware of the difference between co-pay and coinsurance, and whether they are immediate or after deductible.
@danjones000 take a look: https://me.dm/@viktor/112876984692913508
