Hi Bill, I applied like three weeks ago on that "Windows Desktop App" position! I haven't got any reply since. I am sure you folks get pretty decent applications but I think my profile deserves at least a reply from your side! I fit perfectly, 1O YOE, of which 5 as a SW for MSFT. An MCSD in UWP apps, 2 MSc..ect! Your talent acquisition team doesn't reply to my messages neither! I genuinely like the project and would love to work on it ft. Can I at least have a chance?

I didn't get the logic behind this advice ! if they would enjoy it, shouldn't the advice be to do it ?

If they know they'll enjoy it, they'll do it and not ask for validation before.

I am actually in the exact same position, in fact if the person in charge of the code base i am working on checks this thread will most likely think i am the author, and that would get me into trouble, that's how similar our situations are xD.

The only difference in my case is that i have to add more functionality to the project, i started by trying to refactor and clean the code, after a while i realized that this is almost impossible and has no visible benefits from the higher managers's point of view. So i adapted my self to write spaghetti code like the one i am facing, just to meet the deadline, and i am planning to get the hell out from here next week (resign).
