I applied, I had multiple interviews, I got reject because I was bad during them.

Anyway, the interview process was so janky it decreased my confidence in their success.

Care to share any more?

I’ve heard many folks get rejected and leave with a bad taste in their mouth. Interviews should make you feel like you’ve failed due to you not being quite there while still recommending friends to apply (“I didn’t make it but you should try to apply!” Vs “i felt like I had the privilege of even talking to the dude and then got ghosted”).

Well, I applied for a senior role and didn’t even get a rejection email, while recommending their technology to DE enterprise execs on daily basis.

From both the hiring and enterprise adoption sides, it’s easy (and disappointing) to see why the US/China seems so far ahead.

Instead of trying to get into Mistral, why don't you make your own Mistral?

Not easy as it sounds yes, but it is better than throwing your CV into the ATS void 1000 times (the wrong way to apply for a job btw)

Mistral have no moat as it seems except some 'regulatory' moat.

I am sure plenty of people had the same thought.

Not many can execute, but people are welcome to try if you can get customers.

Better than throwing CVs everywhere with no response for years.
