so sad to see they closed down. as a frequent tester their prices were honestly unbeatable compared to so many other places.
for those of you who used them, where are you guys going now to get your labs and testing done? looking for somewhere with reasonable self pay prices.
would really appreciate genuine recommendations. im sure a lot of us are trying to figure out an alternative now rip.
Mine is that I can tell what time it is within about 10 minutes just by how the light looks outside. No phone, no clock. Just vibes and apparently years of accidentally paying attention to sunsets.
It has never once helped me in any meaningful way. I've never been in a situation where knowing it's roughly 4:40pm by the color of the sky was actually useful. And yet I'm genuinely a little proud of it.
I think everyone has one of these something you got good at completely by accident, serves no real purpose, but you'd still bring it up at a dinner party if the topic somehow came up.
What's yours? Doesn't have to be impressive. actually the less impressive the better
not doing the the linkedIn version of this. 11 weeks. 241 applications. 13 screens. 5 technical rounds. 2 final rounds. 1 offer. i want to be specific bc the vague posts drove me crazy when i was searching. week 1 to 2: panic and bad manual applications. week 3: switched to tsenta after the manual thing wasnt working. week 4 to 5: slow. felt like nothing. almost quit the tool. week 6: 4 screens in one week. first sign of life. week 7 to 9: 2 more screens, multiple technicals, the search started feeling real. week 10: final round at the company i wanted. week 11: offer. i accepted. it matched my target comp. the company felt right in every interview. i cried in my car. not at the offer. at not having to search anymore
laid this out bc i keep getting asked. not sponsered by any of these. full stack:
the tools that run in the background vs the tools that need me to be present. tsenta in the first bucket. everything else in the second
same price. copletely different product. this bothers me bc people in job search communities compare them as if theyre the same category of thing
simplify at $39/mo: autofills ur name and email. u still find the job. u still log in. u still navigate the form. u still click submit. u still do every single step. the extension saves u some typing time. thats it.
tsenta pro at $39/mo: 1500 applications submitted end to end. logs in. navigates. fills the form. submits. u dont have to be present. it works on workday, greenhouse, ashby, lever, icims, smartrecruiters, and 9 other ats platforms. 15 total.
the headline comparison shouldnt even be close but simplify has better marketing so poeple think theyre comparing automation tools. one of them is automation. one of them is a better keyboard. fight me.
