Not sure I would have dynamited that bridge so spectacularly, but that lol pitch probably deserved an equally lol response.

Pretentious and stupid. Good combination, recruiter guy.

Of course, Turnitin having a 54% match does not meant that 54% of the thesis is plagiarized. Any quotes (including block quotes) or any citations that also show up in other papers in their database will show up as matches. 54% is pretty high, but 20% is common just by coincidence.

Most awkward recruiter convo ive had lately is a local startup hard selling me a paycut and a commute(but only 30% of the time) for a Sr. Architect(LOfkcingL) role.

took all my strength to refrain from pointing out how stupid was and instead said, "oh jeeze i don't think i'm top 8 million material, that's a pretty unreachable bar for me, so i won't waste your time" and hung up

I went to Consumer electronics show this year and the startup area was all about metaverse stuff.

Now I actually think metaverse or a metaverse competitor is an inevitable leap and there is a future there… however there is a ton on VC $ getting cooked on these startups. It will take too long for the metaverse itself to become relevant - nevermind these derivative companies being able to cash in.

That plus the capital contraction that will happen in the next two years that it going fry a lot of VC funds and startups..

I have a friend who took a crypto job which gave a somewhat similar pitch. They were so disorganized that he mostly sat around at home collecting a check until the founders ran off with the remaining funds they didn't squander.

Did you ask them what percentage of the company's equity was going to be part of your compensation?

Pfftt...the quoted equity didnt even touch my last round of RSUs. I dont blame the recruiter but the company is out-of-touch with the market and they clearly think they can offer less to denver locals.

But I'd think when papers come back as zero percent it might just raise some alarms.
