    The last bullet hits hard. I’m appling for engineering management level roles for the first time in almost a decade and I wasnt prepared to have all my personal details included in my job application to be sold. But thats the game now, thanks for applying, the answer is no and we just sold your details. Thanks. Its depressing and demoralizing, I will carry this sentiment and distrust into my next job.

      yap looking for a job -> tons of spam emails and calls after a while.

      and the thing is that you have to take the calls which might be for scheduling an interview.

      I lost count to the number of times I said “Hi good morning” only to be greeted with "Your PayPal|Bank|eltricity bill … has something, something something pls give creds|make a payment to …’

      Aaaaaaaaa fucking data brokers.

      Selling that data is illegal in the EU, isn’t it? It probably isn’t elsewhere though.
