fixing the interview process w/gant laborde, cio of infinite red a react native first consulting company
guest: gant laborde, cio of infinite red
- learning react native is not hard but different, since web assumptions like the dom do not carry over directly
- job seekers often send one resume everywhere instead of researching and tailoring per company, leading to worst fit not best fit
- watch out for companies that hire to hit growth metrics rather than because they actually need the role filled
- when companies over rely on metrics instead of values, people learn to game the system instead of doing good work
- ask about a company's real values in the interview, since a mission statement that is just a wall plaque means little
