I think the only useful case for an explanation is if your application was defective per the outline, but I doubt that's the main reject reason anyway.

Ah snap! That's good stuff right there. What else can we think of renting? P2P game rentals?

Ya, I figure your market is the SMB that needs high end equipment. Very cool. I know guys that could use this.

But I bet you'd have great funding success if you broadened the concept beyond just cameras and became Borrow.it or something. I was recently wishing there was a service that rents espresso machines since I've never used one before and the ones I want start at $700. Similar theme but another passionate crowd :)

Nice. I like the design and good product photos. Not sure of the market size. That would be a good part to focus on if you apply in the future imo.

Ah. I'm sure they've considered something like that. Smart suggestion. But at the end of the day does it really matter?

Imagine sending 3,000 tailored responses that spawn discussion threads. Not feasible. Believe in yourself kid!

OK. Now I actually read your old thread. My other advice still stands because if you address the feelings you're having it won't matter what your boss thinks... And being happier in your current position is actually going to put the manager at ease so they're comfortable promoting to the next level. Sucks but that's how companies work.

Tactically I would sit down with your supervisor and discuss what's troubling you, what you're trying to get out of your career and why you're not fulfilled. Then ask them what's expected of you to get promoted: is it time on the job, is it leadership on the team, is it technical achievement? What will make me stand out in this company on this team? There may be details that you don't know that are blocking your progress. If you aren't satisfied with the answers then ask around to see if other teams in that company are recruiting engineers. Don't make it a competition with your boss. Stay humble. Try to be positive about what your boss advises you. Then after the meeting just use the fact finding to decide where you want to put your effort.

I didn't read your previous thread so this might be repetitive but talk to a physician about medication that could help. You think you are depressed. That's a good start to fix something if there's a problem, but there might be a chemical component to the way you're feeling. It's not uncommon for creative people to feel the way you're feeling so this is a perfect place to discuss :)

There is only one thing that makes you a senior developer: years in the industry. That's it. Ask your manager the minimum amount of time on the job for promotion. They'll use a formula to figure out if you're ready for more responsibility, but the gating factor is years on the job.
