Has anyone applied at Discord before? I was looking into to it.

Also do people still use cover letters?

My honest opinion I don’t think jobs look at them anymore…they barely fully look at resumes lol

Yes, people still read cover letters, but don’t spend too much time on it. Just a short overview of your experience and interest.

I’ve seen a lot about a cover letter just being sent to show effort/interest. I agree with HRBP1 to keep it short if you do one.

As a TA. I only look at cover letters if you are applying to a role that does not align with your resume background.

Can I DM you? I have some info to share but don't want to be identified potentially by posting it

Is that correct?
Can someone please check their Background screening report and confirm?

Planning to join OFSS as I will work in product development team and can work in any shift timings with WFH.

Today I had my 2nd round interview with EY GDS and got rejected.
Do I need to worry about this and feel low?
Could EY GDS would have been better instead of OFSS?

Please provide your valuable inputs.
