A recuiter reached out about a position on LinkedIn several times. I was not looking to change, but since the recruiter was persistent, I decided to hear about the position, so we arranged a call. After initial introduction, the recuiter told me that I'm not the right person for the job, since my current role was a software engineer, and SRE was my previous role! Well, this is a fact mentioned in my resume, and also in my LinkedIn profile. So why wasting people time? Such a wierd experience.

The overall process was: 1. Introductory call with a founder 2. A simple technical screen 3. An in-depth technical discussion about my experience and SRE-relevant topics 4. A slightly more involved full-stack technical interview 5. Final call with another founder and the COO All of my interview experiences were positive. The interviewers were friendly and helpful, and the recruitment personnel were responsive to questions and scheduling changes. The questions were fair and relevant, and the coding challenges were approachable.
