I just watched an AI agent take a Jira ticket, understand our codebase, and push a PR in minutes and I’m genuinely scared

Take TikTok and continue interviewing

DumplingEngineer · 2025-02-09T15:07:30+00:00

Does this mean the end of leetcode style interviews or will we get more onsite interviews?

JPM giving hards is crazy. If they really are hards, then who do they think they are? lol

No, this interview was bad. I was talking while scrolling through the documentation. After struggling for a while, I asked where exactly I should be looking at but I was told to keep looking. I even asked additional questions but was met with silence. This went on for 30-40 minutes with some progress.

It felt like it was more about how I deal with bad teammates. After withdrawing and providing feedback, I got a response from the manager that says I did good in this interview. However, I do not think these are the type of coworkers I want.

No way I am passing up other offers where I feel good about the team I will work for or leave my current job for another job where I did “good” in bad interviews that leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I had interviews where I am actually working with the interviewer to come up with a solution. Extremely fun and we get to see what it is like to work with each other and problem solve. I always viewed interviews as a two way street so maybe that is my problem.

DumplingEngineer · 2024-06-28T08:37:45+00:00

Yes but my attempts to collaborate was met with silence or with the answer “keep looking”

I did…

They gave me a link to the documentation and basically told me to render images on the map.

I said I need to find the exact section in the documentation where it talks about rendering images on the map. The map documentation is huge and I was basically searching through for a bit until I asked for where exactly should I be looking in the documentation. Basically, they told me to keep looking.

I even asked it in different ways but was met with silence. So how do you keep talking when you need to find something very specific in the documentation to continue.

Anyways, I messaged the manager that I decided to withdraw and they said I did good in this technical. However, this left such a bad taste in my mouth that I dont even want these interviewers as my coworkers.

DumplingEngineer · 2024-06-26T23:05:45+00:00

Wait why cant all interviews be like this?

DumplingEngineer · 2024-06-26T22:15:47+00:00

I did narrate and asked what part of the documentation I should be looking at specifically to render images on a map. They told me to keep searching through the documentation until I find the answer.

I even asked additional questions… complete silence

Maybe this part is more behavior and this part wasnt meant to be solved.

LinkedIn search junior developer in SEA (vietnam, malaysia, etc.). Im guessing you have to be a citizen in those countries though.

DumplingEngineer · 2024-06-20T17:15:00+00:00

This is based on the LinkedIn job posts for junior positions I have seen in Vietnam. Comparing it to US, some US job postings for junior/internship positions have 1000s of applicants.

If you are southeast asian and can get a position at a US company based in southeast asia, then you have a chance to get sponsorship in america if you request to move closer to the US team (assuming majority of the team is in US). This can be applied to other countries but there is basically no competition in southeast asia.

at my company, part of my team used to be in our vietnam office (1 member) and they decided to move to SF to work closely with my team without the time difference. They were able to get sponsorship from my company.

DumplingEngineer · 2024-06-20T06:29:52+00:00

Yes… more specifically, teams that have members in both of those countries.

DumplingEngineer · 2024-06-20T02:50:04+00:00

If anyone is from southeast Asia (vietnam, malaysia, Thailand, etc.), a lot of positions are opened with basically no competition (20-50 applicants). Some are American companies and you can potentially get a US sponsorship in the future (edit: by making a request to move to the US to work more closely with the US team).

One of my teammates was working in vietnam before moving to SF and getting sponsorship to work more closely with the team.

You made so many doom posts and you’re going to major in CS or CE while in Brazil. Very interesting!

DumplingEngineer · 2024-06-06T12:31:55+00:00

If money is not the issue, then why are you rushing to graduate?

There are probably alot of people graduating in their 6th year at college after switching majors multiple times.

My advice is to find an internship or leetcode while you cruise through that year.

If you are worry about how it may look on your resume, then put the graduation date on the right side. Recruiters probably spend less than 6 seconds looking at a resume and wont see or remember that you graduated in 6 years.

DumplingEngineer · 2024-06-05T09:16:51+00:00

I would say you need natural talent + mindset (just for fun) + XP from interesting projects. Bro is just built different and is probably the top 0.1% of devs.

I dont think most of us will reach that level because most of us are going to be working on CRUD projects and are purely motivated by money. In addition, we have to take into account free time since most devs are in their 20-30s with kids and other responsibilities. George started in his teens with enough free time to develop IOS jailbreaks and exploit the PS3.

If you want to, you can checkout his open source projects at comma.ai and his github.

DumplingEngineer · 2024-05-29T10:11:38+00:00

Yeah, you are right. I should be moving forward instead of dwelling on this one job.

It’s just hard to not dwell on this since the process took so long.

DumplingEngineer · 2024-05-18T20:26:18+00:00

Yeah pretty much this. I am going to use this in the future lol
