  • Bay Area has the lowest hiring bar, Boston is the highest.

      Remote offices? Do you mean they are not headquartered?
      I'm not going to throw in stats here.
      But, if the number of jobs is lower and the number of candidates are huge, shouldn't it be even tougher to do better than your peers at interviews? 'Interview bar' as I consider is the difficulty to get a position: number of candidates and their quality competing for a single position.

      @Symantec low supply of jobs, high demand from qualified candidates = higher interview bar, no?

    Can you not even create a poll with a proper question? Wherever you work has the lowest bar to clear interviews.

      This poll actually show that most people think highly of themselves. Most of them are from the Bay Area and Seattle and they consider the interviews they cleared was a 'huge' achievement. Not tons of people from Boston or Chicago here. Not unique to cities but tends to show that a person is kind of 'proud' of clearing a tech interview they faced.

      Easy, use randomness.

      Create ranking 1-7 (from hardest to easiest), assign each rank a weight:
      1 -> 7, 2 -> 6, 3 -> 5, ..., 7 -> 1.
      Then sample once from this discrete prob distribution and let that be your entry.
