Leetcode. Trust me. None of high schoolers can do leetcode medium questions
Youd be surprised.
Are you one of those indian dads forcing their kids to leetcode?
Doesn’t Google just hire ‘different’ people?
Good for him. Colleges discriminating against Asians is a real thing.
Yep! It has never been about merits.
Oh! Finally someone says something about this! DEI people love to complain asian taking over all the college and tech job populations. Well duh! That’s what happens when you categorize every fucking one of Asia countries Asians.
Read the story, his dad is SDM at Google. Lol
Sdm literally has no power in making decisions. Nepotism is strictly discouraged unlike Salesforce
If the kid can memorize all 500 questions on the question bank and prepare every single behavioral, thats already an accomplishment. The father cant even access the interview result, has 0 input to the interviewers. Literally fireable offense if you give a candidate an unfair advantage. Do indians create the startup for their children and spoonfeed their children to get a job? This is a new perspective im hearing from you. Tell me more
Have heard of lots of young people make it. The question is how HIGH he can go and whether he can deal with the politicking nuances. That’s the main career limiter imo not the technical chops
Because FAANG hiring process is more meritorious than the racist bullshit of college admissions.
He just saved 4 years and a ton of money. Well done
Good lad! He’ll have one hell of a future ahead of himself and will be able to get started on the path towards FIRE and crushing it in FAANG. College is expensive and wouldn’t have helped him aside from networking and having a social life. I never went and I only regret it somewhat. Someone of his talent is better off in the workplace and working towards a better future. I wish I was in his position. TC: 105K, started out at minimum wage
Read the article, guy made a website/startup already and he was already getting recruiter contacts just based on that
LeetCode is all you need
