They might be using monitoring services to reveal your recent salary, and rejecting you based on what they imagine you'll accept relative to another person

    A friend of mine is convinced they all feed into sketchy private data broker systems, and reject candidates based on personal and political stuff. Algorithm determines you're kind of a lefty? Reject.

    We have like no rights here in the US with regards to labor, so they can basically do what they want so long as they cover half of their ass.

    Damn that's a conspiracy theory I'll believe.

    Also, I know for a fact they look you up on social media. I wonder if I keep getting rejected because I'm not active on any of that Facebook crap.

    Yeah I'm probably suffering a little because I don't have any real social media, and my GitHub is all private contributions for work. I should probably do some free work to show off there but I resent that

    I did free work on GitHub once. I made a porn mod for a video game and released the code on github under an alt account.

    Sometimes I seriously think about whether I should tell employers:

    "Have you contributed to any open source projects?"

    "A little bit of Piefed stuff, but mostly gooning."
