He was good at the office politics kabuki. Wore the right masks and all.

GP is asking how is he able to land multiple jobs in the first place when they can’t even land one.

Office politics comes after you land a job so it doesn’t explain why he was so successful at getting multiple offers.

I’ve seen claims on Twitter that he used multiple tactics:

1. Good ol’ cold emails;

2.Using a recruiter for warm intros

3. Applying like everyone else but with a resume that is full of fabrications.

A common thread in many of his victim companies: he targeted mostly (YC) startups eager to hire (AI) engineers quickly so they can scale.

		> Office politics comes after you land a job You think? I'm extending the term to actually getting a job in "traditional" organizations. You already have to optimize for keywords etc, don't you? It's not human interaction but a "process". > he targeted mostly (YC) startups eager to hire (AI) engineers quickly so they can scale. But they got an "AI" engineer didn't they? Or no one in management could define what an "AI" engineer is? Tbh I'd give the guy a high paying job, but in marketing.
