Tell HN: Recruiters are lying about remote positions
I've spent the last several months going though a FAANG interview. A recruiter from the company reached out to me and said they were hiring for remote. I got a hiring manager on board, spent evenings and weekends preparing for the coding and design interviews, and made it to the last step - my application had to go through a hiring committee.<p>The hiring committee said no, they didn't want remote hires.<p>I have friends in arguably worse situations. They were recruited for remote positions, accepted the jobs, and are now being told they have to show up onsite. When they pointed out they had been hired as remotes they were met with a collective shrug - the job opening didn't say remote, the agreement they signed didn't say remote. The recruiter was wrong but that's not the company's problem.<p>I'm not sure what the compensation model for recruiters is, but it seems to encourage bringing in as many candidates as possible over treating them with honesty and respect.

Ask HN: I'm interested in so many disciplines, but what can I do with that?
A couple of years back I started dabbling in the social sciences and humanities (my background is in ecology / evolutionary biology), and became interested in one discipline after another. From psychology to history of science to anthropology and sociology, to economics and politics, to philosophy and religious studies and cultural studies, etc.<p>I find it intrinsically motivating to move from ignorance slowly towards understanding. I love reading textbooks to learn basic concepts and looking through academic titles just to swim in their ideas.<p>While I loved university, I won't be able to handle the demands of formal schooling (especially not while raising a family). I also wouldn't want to do any advanced research degrees as I have no patience in studying a small set of problems (I tried it for science and it was horrendous).<p>While I have no issue just continuing to explore these subjects privately, I feel like something is missing. I feel like I want to do something more tangible with this breadth of interests, but I'm coming up empty in terms of ideas. I like writing and can imagine having some sort of blog, but that's seems so cliche?<p>Any suggestions? Perhaps examples of something others have done with their broad interests?<p>What does one do with an intellectual life other than swimming through intellectual content?
