Hey y'all,
I hope everyone's week is going well! Mine has gotten better, being able to get to Ireland to see my girlfriend. The trip couldn't have come at a better time either.
The YC-backed security startup my cofounder and I founded, LunaSec, has closed its doors, and we have been looking for jobs. It is not a great time to look for a job; our recent job prospects have reflected that. I am also realizing just how rusty I am with the interview game. After a recent rejection, I sent this in response:
Thank you for getting back to me. I greatly appreciate the feedback and agree that the last two interviews were weak. I will now make my plea for why you should reconsider me as a candidate:
For the past 4 years I have been running a startup. Before then, I was at Uber for 3 years where this was my job. I fell short in recalling specific terms and standards, which psyched me out. I could write a full report from memory on everything I missed during the interviews, the mistakes are seared into my head.
I have enough saved to cruise for a bit, but the pressure to find a job is undoubtedly present. In the meantime, I will enjoy being a digital nomad and keep up with blogging and writing code.
