Does leetcode everywhere make sense?
I understand that top tier one companies using leetcode style interviews. But don’t understand the logic why tier 2,3, and even startups are using leetcode style interviews. I mean if I have to work hard to prepare with leetcode, I might as well work for a tier 1 company and use the other companies for practice and negotiations.
It's a lot easier and lower risk to cargo cult something because Google does it than think outside box. The whole system is designed to be gamed by anyone with enough free time
Bingo
I thought some companies are moving to pair programming/take home project approach? Is leetcode style still predominant?
Take home are worse. I would rather do leetcode than invest 4-5 hr on take home for each company followed by an on-site.
To each their own--sinking hours and hours of my life to leetcode just to never use that knowledge after interview is not worth it to me
But it doesn't produce enough hires though... If it did produce enough hires, there wouldn't be a need for foreign engineers on work visas
I am seeing positions in ML remaining open for months at many mid-level companies and no new people being added as per LinkedIn.
There's this trend of shitty startup asking hard lc for shitty pay.
It’s not everywhere. We don’t do it
What do you guys do?
They take whoever wants to work there.
Yeah sure but not everyone gets accepted to tier 1 companies even if they shoot for it
VC backed startups used to pay in cash closer to what TC was at tier 1 companies , if cash was a priority then startups were good enough. Tier 1 used to consistently have a full year before any rsus were sellable to cash, so your cash position was much lower. You only stay at a startup for 1 year , 15 months max. Much of this equation has changed so what you perceive now is accurate, startups are not in the running at all right now unless compensation doubles or triples.
That’s what everyone doing
