Great work life balance, I work a max of 20 hours a week. Great moonlighting policy.
We don’t hire the best talent. We hire talent that fills our diversity quotas and so you get a lot of people that feel they are being treated unfairly while making 300k+. Takes forever to ship anything. Very hard to get promoted past senior.
Does anyone have experience with this and is willing to provide what to expect? Seems like we’ll be given some coding and remote machine debugging tasks—curious on what’s the best way to prep for these. #engineering #sre #github

From your experience, how many of questions grouped by company matched during your interview at FAANG? Are these lists updated regularly? Wondering if it's worth buying premium, all of LT questions can be found by title with solutions on geeksforgeek or similar sites. Already found a few github prof...Read more

Has anyone ever taken them? What was your experience? Does it improve your GitHub portfolio and help you land jobs? Alternatively, are there other courses/sites people have used that they would recommend?
For people from tier 2-3 college, what worked for you to get noticed by recruiters or shortlisted after directly applying on company site? Was it github projects or just through referral doing some courses?

I've got a Stripe on-site coming up soon. I heard a rumor (Glassdoor) that the bug squash round for Java folks is likely in one the of the Jackson libs like jackson-core, jackson-databind, jackson-annotations (although this one would be kinda weird). I've been poking around trying to see if I could...Read more
During an internet rabbit hole I ran across an awesome site that collected some complex research papers, like AlphaGo and linked all the other papers that explained the complexity. Like ML the hard way. I can’t recall if I found it through Medium, Jane Street Tech Blog, GitHub or by serendipity! Bu...Read more
Do you have GitHub and/or open source contributions listed on your resume? Does the hiring teams at FAANG expect this or doesn’t matter because most of the interviewers don’t have time/care to research the candidate much? I’d assume most of the coding skills are evaluated during the on-site whitebo...Read more
Curious if anyone can shed some light on a timeline for when I should expect to get the next steps from Github. I completed their on-site on June 21st and was told the following day that I moved on to the next step (team matching). Since then it's been radio silence from Github, despite reaching out...Read more
Lots of firms/services allow login with 3rd-party (ie github, google, fb, etc) but the worst offenders pull an extra step. After authenticating, you then get kicked into the usual make a username/password, verify your email nightmare. If a site integrates with a “login with...” there should be no f...Read more
