Is a bot-generated rejection actually worse than a ghosting? I asked for feedback after a final round and the recruiter sent me a link to an AI chatbot that simulated why I wasn't a fit. It gave me a generic list of my weaknesses based on my transcript, most of which were just times I paused to think. It was really odd and felt like a new low in my job hunt.

A recruiter pointing you to a bot to tell you why you were rejected. Damn, that's some next level cold.

That is odd… But I guess it’s better than not knowing. At least for me I would want to know.

you will never know even if they do give you a feedback — they don’t tell the truth

What feedback are you looking for? You just want them to confirm that they have gone with another applicant? Or you actually want them to tell you exactly why they didn’t pick you?

I genuinely can’t comprehend what could possibly go through the head of anyone involved in implementing something like this, to think that it is a good idea…

Hi I have asked to be an advisor for a startup. Its in its very early stage pre pre-seed. Its looking like weekly strategy calls and possibly some executional work as well. Like building out a sales process and/or training sales and marketing team members (this might be 1-3hr a week of work).

They are offering 1.5-3.5%. — I am wondering if that’s enough.

In addition to this the founder mentioned that he would like me to consider becoming a co-founder.

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
