Resume: Open source and GitHub
Do you have GitHub and/or open source contributions listed on your resume? Does the hiring teams at FAANG expect this or doesn’t matter because most of the interviewers don’t have time/care to research the candidate much? I’d assume most of the coding skills are evaluated during the on-site whiteboarding anyways. All my extra time coding has gone to projects that I can’t openly share.
Nobody cares.
Definitely good experience to have and be able to talk about, however nobody is going to take the time to read your source code. I put a couple projects that I'm proud of on my resume though and they often end up being good talking points in interviews.
Nice to have but leetcode is more important.
It’s only important if you’re young and don’t have any formal education
Doesn't matter for FANG, but could be a plus in smaller companies and good for networking
I heard Apple actually holds it against you.
Nobody cares
