Once in a while (about every 6-9 months or so), I get an e-mail like this in my inbox:
|
|
|
|
> Hi Katherina,
|
|
>
|
|
> Hope you are doing well. I'm a tech sourcer with Google working on the
|
|
> expansion of our Europe software engineering teams. I came across your
|
|
> linkedin and github profiles and I'm interested in finding more about your
|
|
> experience. Would you be open having a quick formal chat about our current
|
|
> teams and projects we have across Europe to see if there's anything that
|
|
> may interest you?
|
|
|
|
I always send the same polite decline, wishing them a nice day.
|
|
And a few months later, someone else will e-mail me the exact same question.

I know that a few years ago, when Google first reached out to me to ask me
|
|
if I was interested in working for them, I was quite excited about the idea.
|
|
Since then a lot of things have changed, including my attitudes towards
|
|
big companies, and Google in particular.
