I did well at the interview. I produced not one but two different solutions to the test problem that was given to me, with time to spare. Today, I receive an e-mail where they say that they are afraid they can't provide me with 'conditions suitable for my level of knowledge and skills'.

How in the world am I supposed to get re-employed if I get rejected from entry-level jobs because of my overcompetence, but don't have the job experience in the area where I can work long-term for the non-entry-level jobs?
I love crapitalism. /s

        Aw, no that's not what I meant 😭

        You can use the hexbear phone repository to give you fake references. When you make your resume - lie. You figured out the two solutions, right? You have the skills and knowledge for better but they've arbitrarily decided "oh also you should've been in a FAANG the past couple years" or whatever. So lie.

          hexbear phone repository

          Huh? There is one?

          Nevertheless, I don't have much of a hope in that regard, as I don't find it likely that there are people from my city here (IDK how I would claim that I worked in another city), let alone ones who would help me with this.

            idk if there's really a phone repository, but my husband and I are happy to lie for any of you ❤️

            we just have a small engine repair business, so might have to be creative about how we worked with you - maybe we knew you in another job, maybe you did some consulting, idk

            but yeah, anybody who wants a reference, please feel free to DM me
