I have an offer from Bloomberg, but was rejected after an on-site at Spotify, Squarespace and Asana (near Miss too). What am I doing wrong?

Yoe?
Are you an introvert? Are you socially awkward? Are you narcissistic? Are you not understanding questions they ask or not providing deep enough answers? Do you smile? Is your smile too creepy? Did you shower? Did you show up early/too early/late? Did you leave trash behind? Did your attire match the culture? Itās really hard to pinpoint without seeing how you perform in an interview.
I was told I'm generally strong technically but my communication needs work. It's funny because I am a very good writer and public speaker but horrific at small, ad-hoc talk. Ever had a professor who gets too excited and their brain runs faster than their mouth? That's me...
Okay, so get better at what you mentioned and try again.
YOE?
4.1 YoE
You weren't precise enough with your YOE. Companies are only looking for ppl with 4.13 - 4.17 yoe this time of year.
How much leetcoding did you do?
Not that much actually. A little bit every week for a few months. Nothing too intense.
Sounds like you could have prepped more. Also, itās just luck
1/4 is not great but itās not terrible at all
Will Spotify /squarespace / Asana be able to match BLoomberg salary ? No idea how much these pay
I don't think so but they are more competitive
Bloomberg is big, other three are picky.
So is the quality of the people less?
no, usually more specialized in smaller companies.
Numbers game. 25% success is pretty good. Interview at 100 places and Bam! You have 25 offers!
Take 6 months leave for 100 interviews ?
