Journals of what I learned or built during my unemployment period while finding a new job
The CTO of my ex company at Malang invited me to discuss about technical issue for their current project. I went to their office by lunch time. Little bit nostalgic since I grew up for more than 5 years with the company. I met and talked with my ex p...

Sooooooooo, my contact on Glints already scheduled for 2nd interview round at 22th Oct next week. Took more than one month to get this progress after first interview. I already set my expectation to low on this, but still got hope because last week she said my next interview schedule will be arranged and just got the info today.
Let see how the interview goes next week. I’ll share the detail later.
Surprisingly this morning a recruiter company reached me for a senior role in one of SaaS company which has product for child education. Interesting because long back then I interested with educational topic. I tried to join several edtech company based in Indonesia but failed to get hired.
Definitely skill issue.
However this afternoon we discussed about the role. It is Singapore based company but has diverse team in Indonesia, Singapore, and Vietnam. Their main tech stack are Javascript and Go but there’s a PHP part that needs my expertise on that.
The discussion were about:
Company detail, team size, product, and tech stack
History of my experience
Working preference and arrangement
Previous and expected compensation benefit
Hiring process
Career expectation
Overall hiring stage would be:
Technical test (home test)
Panel technical interview with tech lead and engineering manager
Final interview with CTO
Offering
Once all sorted out and I agreed to continue, he will proposed me as their candidate and if all good then they will send the technical assessment. I’ll wait on that.
I also told him that I already committed to freelance project with my friend so in case I got hired, I need time to notify my client. He was ok with that.
Another good part is, he already has my profile. In case I failed to this company, he will find another company who might suitable with my expertise.
No update yet. I already said that I would ready by next week and they still not sending any term or contract whatsoever.
Naah, my connects is running low. I won’t use it until it necessary and worth to spend for potential projects.
That’s it. Have a great day, Folks!
