Had rejections after onsites at 3 of the MAANG. Few other reject/ghosts from mid sized (series B to D) startups. Never did any preparation, and took the sign of getting to onsites easily as I can maybe skirt by. Today’s rejection was a wake up call that PM interviews require serious prep and study...Read more

Seriously. No reason to actually get good at your job when you can just coast the entire time as any in-job skills are useless for clearing future job interviews. Why bother growing skills or learning anything useful when the next job is just a meaningless backtracking problem away? Im incompetent a...Read more

I am currently in a company which lets me decide the work which I want to take for each sprint. I usually take enough work for me to complete in the whole sprint.

So far I'm getting 1/2 coding sessions per loop. They don't even spend a full session on coding. I feel like I wasted so much time...Read more
