A toolset to land a great tech job

Happy Monday. Sharing a quick download having talked to hundreds of applicants recently as a Y Combinator founder building tools in the recruiting space and realizing there are more unknowns than there should be for Banking PE etc who are moving into tech roles. Some of the nuances of the modern job search outside of defined headhunter channels and campus recruiting that many here are used to are worth understanding.

• Informality -  The defined interview and offer period, the condensed head hunter scramble for Buy side opportunities, that is almost non existent in tech and non-finance roles. Almost every company is scrambling for engineers right now and paying as much as they can to get them and they are probably as used to having success with a discord or cold email message as a campus rep process.
• Speed Variance -  Small or fast growing companies have needs that change all the time. While a fund or banking class is fairly well defined - a Product or CFO team might completely change their hiring plan in the course of a week, and subsequently will often be scrambling for great people. Take this into account when emails seem either too fast or too slow and always err on the side of reaching out to check in on something.
• Role Description - Coming from finance backgrounds has many aim at supporting an IPO or fundraising process in the CFO veritcal or looking for senior leadership roles at attainable companies. While these can be great landing spots - translating the ability to efficiently produce information out of a model is valuable far outside those realms, be it optimizing a paid marketing campaign that might decide a companies fate or setting up city by city economic forecasts for the next Uber.

Dropping this hear FWIW.
