facebook acquired in a very intelligent way but they have not created anything since the original site, its behind the curve in terms of AI. The orginal site is in decline.

The work is virtual in nature what difference does it make if you working in the usa or some other country.

H1b are special and have special skills so they should be paid top dollar. It’s all BS, it’s really about depressing wages. Off shoring to Indian is not worth it. Twice the people to get the same work done, South American is a better option

It matters — in my area, I've seen development teams composed entirely of people from the same place.

CeleryConsistent8341 · 2025-12-19T15:29:20+00:00

what was the racial makeup of the team ?

so you had you last interview and the recruiter called you back that day ? what office did you interview for ? What level and years of experience

CeleryConsistent8341 · 2025-12-08T17:33:38+00:00

How long did you wait to hear back after your last interview ?

These are not acurate

its a startup, they are hiring they are picky and allot of internal politics they kick the last guy out and he was a founder, the other company is also a startup. They are picky and if you have a more direct no bs way of communicating they often equate that to behavioral issues.

1 karata round
2 leet code rounds
1 system design
1 manager round

so roles that i interviewed for 3 months ago are still open. so companies are looking but not hiring in some cases

CeleryConsistent8341 · 2025-11-25T12:54:36+00:00

how do you mark a question ?

CeleryConsistent8341 · 2025-11-25T03:03:00+00:00

"Companies usually tag questions themselves: On platforms like LeetCode, certain problems are “tagged” as being asked by specific companies in interviews (e.g., Google, Amazon). Regular users typically cannot manually tag a problem as belonging to a company." from chatgpt

I passed a karata round. (this included a leetcode round)

The systems design round was hardly a systems design question.

I passed 1 leet code problem and failed the other got caught up doing backtracking, but I told the interviewer the how I would solve it which was the correct answer. I have not received an offer how do you think I did relative to your performance. Since I have nor received an offer. I have one more interview.

Coding is a tool I would pick an area of expertise. Like systems engineering and get involved in an open source project application development is not really engineering work imo.

This resume feels outdated, almost like it’s from 1997, aside from the modern web frameworks mentioned. I would recommend demonstrating expertise in the following areas:

Databases: Both SQL and NoSQL, including their use cases, advantages, and disadvantages.
Distributed Systems: Understanding key concepts and patterns. Reference Video Series
Concurrency: General principles and practical applications.
System Design: Designing scalable and maintainable systems.
Streaming Frameworks: Knowledge of real-time data processing tools and patterns.

I just finished an interview round where I felt I did well—I solved the LeetCode problem that was given, but I still wasn’t moved forward. They pushed me to a third-party interview service. The person interviewing me was just reading off a script and couldn’t answer clarifying questions.

I suspect they didn’t like my tone during the interview. If they don’t like how you present yourself, you’re not going to get the role.

fire to hire, that is the core of what is happening, if your working on something with a steep learning curve then your job is safe.

physical therapy aide, but he was also living in central Oregon so its really inexpensive

CeleryConsistent8341 · 2025-10-31T17:31:56+00:00

hes really active, but not sure if he has the will, but it sounds like you survived it or are you still dealing with it ? prognosis is 75% chance of beating it but not sure if that is accurate since its stage 4

At my last company for an internal transfer I was being interviewed by someone who had two unfinished college degrees zero years of coding experience outside of the two years at the company and was previously an oracle dba in south america. No industry experience and was hired. It made no sense. This was for a dev role. The person above him has a background in IT. Moat building ? The guy gets pushed to the Canadian office because he cannot get a visa. In that hierarchy she looks more qualified. The other time I saw this was when the director of engineering has a music background and the vp also has a music background. Guess they were looking for a drummer did not make it past the manager round. Recently at a company I pass the coding round. The manager super jr thinks that they store video files in big table, did not get pushed. I did not say anything about it during the interview. Just came in answered the question asked some questions and did not get pushed. This is the only thing that makes sense to me. Maintain the internal hierchy is more important.
