  • The problem is that the second option also requires you to go to work in a tuxedo.

    I get the point you are trying to make but this is just a strawman here… you are changing the parameters of the case and attacking your own invention.

    Only a small niche of companies allow you to not work in a tuxedo.

    I disagree, it is not a small niche. It certainly is not the majority but it is not that small for the scenario in this, most likely fake, email. Anecdotally I can add I have been working (also a programmer) on Linux for the past 18 years and none of the companies I worked for supported it, they just did not care if I used it as my base OS, everything they cared about is under their control so as long as I could comply to those, they were fine with it









  • Well, first of all, let’s be clear that most likely this post is completely fake and just as true as a meme would be. We agree on that.

    But yes, I have been in that position myself, you get 2 offers within a week (which is not unheard of since, when looking for jobs, one usually blast CVs everywhere).

    As you point out, the second option is looking for a job while having one… you can go all the way and then pull back noticing you are going from whatever you have to worse
