The entire market is filled with a bunch of fake profiles and proxy interviews. How I know? Apparently, a bunch my friends’ friends/relatives started with 7-9+ years of fake experience right after their masters with desi consultancies. I have been planning on making a post to ask wtf is going on. And they do 2-3 of these fake jobs by paying 2-3 support-engineers who are highly qualified from India or shit. They do it for 70000-80000 rupees per month. Per job, these fakers get ~$8000 in-hand and pay around $1000 away. So 7000x3 =$21000 per month. Absolute fraud.
I don’t know about other faang. But a bunch of new grads in Amazon. I had a call with a friend after posting this comment and found out that 2 good friends of our did the same shit and one got PIPed. And the other guy is still working. I know this guy and all he did was consume alcohol everyday in the USA during his masters. I’m sorry but this guy barely passed his courses in his bachelors. And they think that getting FAANG Amazon level money is very easy. Get a proxy guy from India to write the assessment. Take 2-hour session with him explaining every line of that code. And have him give them proxy in the interview. I don’t know man. Fuck this shit. This is why I’m not so surprised with the mass layoffs. But because of these inefficient fakers, legit people got affected. I’m sad about the layoffs but not that surprised. Hope that makes sense. Sorry. End of rant. 😅
I make more than 5 redditors put together and don’t have a public github. Oopsies
If I was like some prolific Apache contributor to some software that is relevant to the role okay but I don’t see how putting me fiddling around on my own personal repos matters at all
The % of interviewers that will review a GitHub profile is . . . not large.

I mean. People have faked so many things in the past it doesn’t even matter.
