If you’re a recruiter (and why else would you be here?), you may want to read <a href="{filename}work-preferences.rst">my preferences</a> before reading on. It will save both of us valuable time.

If you are a recruiter looking to hire me, i first want to say thank you. This means you are not
|
||||||
|
just blindly select people to contact but you’re doing research on them. I appreciate that.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Below is a list of conditions and preferences that’s good to know before we talk. These are the
|
||||||
|
things i won’t bend in, no matter what.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* I’m a family man, and with a wife who has a much stricter schedule it is i who transport the
|
||||||
|
children between schools and home. This means that:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. i need a really flexible schedule
|
||||||
|
2. i work remotely. If that’s not an option for your client, stop right now; that’s something
|
||||||
|
i won’t reconsider anytime soon. Occasional visits to HQ is OK, though.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* i use a Fedora Linux workstation for work. I won’t install any corporate spyware on it like
|
||||||
|
activity or time trackers. Corporate-specific apps for things like messaging and VPN might be
|
||||||
|
OK (but many of those are suspicious). I’m willing to run different operating systems in
|
||||||
|
virtual machines for testing purposes, but changing my working environment must be my choice,
|
||||||
|
not my employer’s.
|
||||||
|
* Python is my main programming language, but i’m happy to learn new ones. I won’t, under any
|
||||||
|
circumstances, work with Java, PHP, and Perl, unless the job is to migrate away from those
|
||||||
|
languages (and even then i might refuse based on other circumstances).
|
||||||
|
* if i have to do some coding on a whiteboard during the interview, solve problems that are
|
||||||
|
already solved in a lot of places (like implementing a linked list), or solve some brain teasers
|
||||||
|
i’ll hang up without a warning. That method is plain wrong and no serious interviewer should
|
||||||
|
use it. Not even for hiring beginners. I have a bunch of openly available projects, or you can
|
||||||
|
put my skills to the test in a realistic setting. I guess the work you’re hiring for is not
|
||||||
|
“writing nonsense programs on whiteboards”.
|
||||||
|
* i will never work for Google/Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Oracle, Meta/Facebook, any banks, or
|
||||||
|
financial institutions. If you are trying to recruit me for one of these, just stop; both of
|
||||||
|
our times are more precious than that. I can tell you why, in case you are interested, though;
|
||||||
|
but for that, an email should be enough.
|
||||||
|
* i do understand that a lot of you recruiters are bound by NDAs and such, but if you find me fit
|
||||||
|
for a position and don’t mention the company who you’re recruiting for, the position is out of
|
||||||
|
question. This way i can’t do *my* part of the research, to check if *i* want to work with that
|
||||||
|
company at all. In this case i’ll assume the worst (see the previous point) and decline
|
||||||
|
immediately.
|
||||||
|
* money is not everything; you definitely can’t change my mind about all the things above by
|
||||||
|
offering more. However, if you’re recruiting in Hungary (or *from* Hungary hoping that it will
|
||||||
|
be cheap), be prepared that my expectations are probably higher than you might think. My wife
|
||||||
|
is a teacher and that’s an expensive hobby in this country which i’m wilfully support
|
||||||
|
financially (among other things).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Please also keep in mind that i’m happily employed at the moment, and am not actively looking for
|
||||||
|
a change. I might be interested in your offer, but there’s a high chance that i’ll just refuse.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If all the above are OK with you, feel free to contact me. Also, instead of writing me an email,
|
||||||
|
you might want to `book a time slot <{filename}appointments.rst>`_ instead.
