- So no one gives a shit that i have a cs degree
- No one gives a shit that i have the knowledge and skills THEY require
- Now the new bar is to work at least several years as a slave so i can get hired

The only reason i got rejected is because i havent worked in a company for 3+ years...?

well at least they sent u a reply. that's rare when it comes for refusal. keep going. either you will succeed with the record or find a good place 2 work. I'm rooting for the 2nd ofc

How much time do you spend outside of work working on these skills?

move on dude, don't let it hit your confidence.

Also, don't settle for less salary just because you face more rejections after this.

That's 1 company off your list. Write them back. But don't sound bitter. Tell them that the process you wen't through with them was an enriching experience. Something that you will learn from and improve upon on your upcoming interviews. Remember, failures lead to success. After a week, send Fivetran a sealed box with slices of durian inside.

From your recent posts you don't look like you fulfill their requirements, working in companies or not

@Sid2006 it didnt hit me i just cant believe for what dumbass reasons they reject people

Fuck that shit. I’ve been in the industry for 25 years and have several million of these rejections..possibly billions. If you’re good enough you’ll find your spot eventually
