| Jan 25, 2022 at 16:26 | comment | added | WestCoastProjects | @jrh Your work does not sound boring. It appears you actually mean lesser known . That makes more sense: one can often do more interesting work at lesser known since you have a wider impact within the company. A tiny piece of work at a huge company may affect more people but it's hard to "feel" that day to day. | |

| Jan 25, 2022 at 0:14 | comment | added | jrh | I mean, I have gotten great opportunities by recruiter cold calls. I like boring companies, you all can fight over who gets the one exciting position at Google making the next thing they'll kill off in 2 years. I'm quite happy making a decent living doing interesting, practical things at companies people underestimate or forgot about. | |

My point wasn't that Indeed was better at providing candidates or even any good. Instead I was hoping to communicate that 1) they're trying to get more people to use the service as applicants and 2) there are tons of job search companies these days. I also think it's hilarious that Max Scherzer was between jobs, had 30 employers knocking on his door and he picked the Mets. Maybe not the best career coach. | |
| Jan 14, 2022 at 23:29 | comment | added | ruffin | "There's barely any indication of what features Indeed brings to the table." But do they make you want to use Indeed? I mean, there's no better warrior-god playing than Max, the organ was hilarious, & I know which one is the freaking pitching eye, but have you seen the applicants Indeed churns out? Many are not top-shelf, self-screened, intrinsically motivated devs. I mean, maybe Apple, Google, and MS can convince us to apply by bombarding us, but didn't we already know if we wanted to work there? | |
