I don't have a problem with them not being interested, just like when dating :-)

But since I am applying to places I only really care about, I'd like to know when I'm not a good fit (so I can improve in the meantime), but mostly because so much tech stuff can go wrong (db died, email got marked as spam, their reply got lost somewhere, etc).



Yes, my email going into their spam folder always worries me. I usually opt for an online application if they have one on their website.

No wonder, lever.co seems to be doing well.
