Those can do hardest questions get the most rewards. That’s just natural. G and F are top tier companies have picky interviewing. Yet recently there are many startup people who made way more than the people in G and F with the same yoe, DoorDash, coinbase, you name it. So here is the question: are those companies bar even higher? I guess it is true for Airbnb because I see they were hiring many G and F people. And I wonder whether those hot startup people have failed G and F interview too? If so, since now you are rich, what is your thought?
You seem to think there's a strong correlation with the level of the LCs in an interview and how well the stock does. If such link exists, it's going to be negligible.
Yes. Dogecoin don’t even hire people.
I failed Google onsite 2 out of 4 attempts. Never tried Facebook. Average LC at the time of failures: ~450 Average LC when cleared Google onsites: ~900 LC when cleared onsite for AIF: ~1400 LC now: 1501
How is the hardness gap between the time you failed and passed G?
When I died in G interview, those problems are definitely hard core and I don’t think it is for 45 mins.
Passed g which was a waste of time as they moved really slow and wanted me to relocate Passed Amazon (was there for a while) Almost passed fb (bombed in one of the onsite rounds with a real asshole interviewer) Passed MS - waste of time tc wise Passed a few unicorn interviews too. 100 LC plus ctci. Everything beyond that was diminishing returns imo (proof is in the pass rate which was like 7-8 to 1) Interview style really different between some of those companies and some were straight up leetcode (yawn) We have a lot of ex faang , ms , Uber and other unicorns. The LC based ones are about the same , but each company has its own “other” thing which is a bit different (for example when I did DD there was a debug , take home and couple of other things that were not lc , and if you didn’t really have your ducks in a row in regards to the platform - 1000 lc wouldn’t get you buy initial screening)
What do you mean by “Everything beyond that was diminishing returns imo “?
So did you ever fail some interviews? Lol.
The bar can tend to be higher at unicorns since they have way fewer positions than companies like Amazon, Microsoft,etc. so they’ll analyze every part of the candidate more finely. Also, high growth startups are what people want to work in because 1)lucrative IPO 2)exciting product/industry
And faster pace and bigger impact on product

How much should your net worth be by age 30?
This post makes no sense at all. People who failed to pass elementary algebra tests can be multi millionaire if they bet on the right numbers in vegas.
If so, I am asking the thoughts of these multi millionaires.
It won't help you to replicate their success on the next spin of the wheel of fortune.
