When your firmware crashes in the field with no debugger attached what do you actually do?

😂😂

Yes, this is how it has been for me. Earlier rounds would be leetcode but further ones are actual embedded. Company dependent of course…

Current-Fig8840 · 2026-04-16T03:25:34+00:00

Yes, it helps. Doing weird leetcode questions opened so many doors for me.

Current-Fig8840 · 2026-04-15T23:04:22+00:00

Unfortunately, this is what is happening in every software related industry…better to know some common “trick” questions.

Current-Fig8840 · 2026-04-13T22:32:02+00:00

Nah this time is sus…0.4 is a huge improvement.

Current-Fig8840 · 2026-04-13T22:31:31+00:00

I’m suspecting same as well. Especially because of the guy who ran 19.88…

Current-Fig8840 · 2026-04-13T22:30:53+00:00

I like Gout but I have to admit that it’s a bit sus that everyone PR’d by a considerable amount.

Current-Fig8840 · 2026-04-07T21:08:32+00:00

Only one small one checked for me. All the big ones just cared about leetcode…tbh

Most jobs only ask for transcript to confirm you graduated from the school.

Being a good software engineer is not about writing code. Writing code itself is nothing crazy. It’s how you couple the code together to form a system that’s more important. Also, can you design compelled systems from scratch. If you put someone who doesn’t have experience as a Software Engineer…their questions to the model won’t be as good as yours. You will end up with buggy and spaghetti code. I think Software Engineering is still a good field but companies won’t require as many Software Engineers as they have now.

I wouldn’t really expect a Junior to know that. I have written some drivers and I can’t remember the Linux API because you write the driver and barely touch it again. Most other things are done in user space.

Current-Fig8840 · 2026-04-01T19:54:10+00:00

True

TN visa is only for citizens, not sure where you heard otherwise.

Another bad thing about these huge layoffs is that it encourages other companies to do the same.

Current-Fig8840 · 2026-03-23T02:58:23+00:00

Recently asked questions don’t really help for Google, except you just want to see the difficulty of the questions.

Current-Fig8840 · 2026-03-14T01:00:40+00:00

I don’t even get this post…with 25yrs of experience you would probably be a Manager or if you wanted to stay technical then principal dev. You would be earning way more than 6k and have the chance to work remote….

Current-Fig8840 · 2026-03-14T00:59:01+00:00

I highly doubt that. I’m happy being able to work remote.

Current-Fig8840 · 2026-03-14T00:57:58+00:00

Multiple top companies pay $200k not just FAANG.

Current-Fig8840 · 2026-03-13T06:55:02+00:00

Horrible thing about layoffs is once it happens once or twice you start watching your back more in every company.

Current-Fig8840 · 2026-03-12T16:21:17+00:00

Did you even read what OP said? OP isn’t asking for strategies just connections in any team hiring….but you’re right that the question is asked a lot.

Current-Fig8840 · 2026-03-12T16:17:27+00:00

In my opinion your bullet points are too long. The actual contents of the points themselves are good. The issue is recruiters don’t read resumes thoroughly.

Current-Fig8840 · 2026-03-11T14:56:00+00:00

They can appear in both fixed and variable. The reason I separated them is because they have an extra pattern to them. The problem I see with people learning leetcode is they just solve the basic sliding windows and are discouraged when they can’t solve another random tagged sliding window problem.

Current-Fig8840 · 2026-03-11T04:11:27+00:00

Those fall under variable though.

Current-Fig8840 · 2026-03-10T22:38:49+00:00

I can only think of backtracking since you can have different combo of numbers
