job hunting thoughts w/ john-michael mccasland
guest: john-michael mccasland, front end engineer at upscribe
- set a clear salary goal before taking calls so you can gauge offers against something concrete
- use a job specific email plus a trello board to track every touch point with recruiters
- keep taking calls even when stretched thin because the right fit often shows up late in the process
- ask interviewers directly if they have concerns about you to quickly learn where you stand
- be upfront about your stress and interest level with a company if you want them to move fast and be honest back
