There's no problem with that, philosophically speaking, and I'm sure plenty of people do it. Still, I can't speak for anyone else, but I have no desire to be merely "run of the mill" in my chosen career, that to me sounds like a horrifying lack of ambition. To each their own. | |

I have faced companies that have extensive list of requirements for the position, but once I joined it was very clear that half of them are not required at all. For example - They asked for Action Script experience, which I had, but they were re-writing the whole application in Java. Did not write a single line of code in Action Script while being in there, even though the interviewer asked in-depth questions about Flex and AS. Fact is, they missed out on a lot of candidates because of the requirements they set. | |
