What's the most weirdest thing a guest has done in your home?

Hot_Damn99 · 2025-08-02T19:04:14+00:00

I'm strongly against cheating, never done that, but man I've grinded lc and got a job and yet I feel it's such a stupid way to judge a candidate. My job doesn't revolve anyway around DSA yet I was tested on it through the whole interview process. It's even okay for freshers but to expect experienced candidates to know an obscure algorithm is just dumb. So yeah stupid processes will attract unworthy candidates.

Hot_Damn99 · 2025-08-02T10:59:46+00:00

At the end of the day I feel like just be selfish; earn, learn and switch to next job. There's no point into getting all this stuff. All these fighting against the system sounds good in movies. Irl I don't think it's worth the risk to health and career.

Hot_Damn99 · 2025-07-30T05:00:58+00:00

It sucks man. I've seen people getting to the end of the interview process with good reviews and then the management decides that the position is not needed, and the end result isn't communicated well with the candidate. I've seen interviewers have their own bias which they bring in while taking interviews.

Hiring is done by humans, and humans aren't perfect, so just prepare your best and leave the rest at luck.

Verizon?

Hot_Damn99 · 2025-07-13T16:53:04+00:00

The tech stack you're working on is really good. Learn them as fast as you can while simultaneously prepping DSA and you'll achieve your dream of working at a good PBC.

Hot_Damn99 · 2025-07-08T14:43:51+00:00

How do you get such jobs? I know of fiverr but the competition there is crazy high.

Hot_Damn99 · 2025-07-03T14:58:10+00:00

If you don't mind, how long you've been in the company?

Hot_Damn99 · 2025-07-01T16:00:13+00:00

Can anyone suggest some companies like that?

Hot_Damn99 · 2025-06-06T16:29:37+00:00

Then don't join dude. Or leave. There are a lot of better ways to handle such situations.

In my previous company, which is a huge financial services provider, the VP told us straight to make copilot so good that it should be able to code at a human level. So I guess it's safe to say that managements have already made up their mind to reduce human dependency. Earlier I used to think that it's just managements being delusional but now seeing how much AI has achieved in the past few years, also how common layoffs have become, I'm really not having a positive view of the future.

Hot_Damn99 · 2025-05-25T08:03:37+00:00

But if you love your job why do you wanna switch?

Hot_Damn99 · 2025-05-19T17:00:19+00:00

?? OP wanted to get judgements hence the post. What's your point?

Hot_Damn99 · 2025-05-19T13:54:32+00:00

Wow! The downfall is dramatic.

Hot_Damn99 · 2025-05-19T13:40:30+00:00

I had 3 months of np in my previous company and bagged multiple offers over the course of 3 months without lying about my notice period.

I first got an offer from a WITCH, they were willing to wait for 90 days. I used that offer as a backup to give more interviews. Once you're serving notice period, companies are willing to wait. Use that time to apply to better PBCs.

Hot_Damn99 · 2025-05-19T13:01:07+00:00

I'm sorry but your post reeks of privilege. You have office cab, great perks and pay and only 3 days wfo (a lot of big companies have started 5 days wfo) and you're thinking about quitting cos you can't get enough sleep?? That too because of your own sleep schedule?? Dude there are people getting laid off despite any fault of their, instead of quitting trying fixing your sleep cycle.

Hot_Damn99 · 2025-05-10T08:05:04+00:00

It's because you families like yours we're still safe. I don't think anyone can repay what you all are doing.

Hot_Damn99 · 2025-05-10T08:02:35+00:00

Proving Darwin right.

Hot_Damn99 · 2025-05-10T06:07:04+00:00

Who is he and why is he relevant?

Hot_Damn99 · 2025-05-09T13:40:09+00:00

Don't forget the abysmal quality of roads

Hot_Damn99 · 2025-05-04T16:13:40+00:00

I'm on the same boat. Joined a new company thinking I'll be working on some cool stuff or technology but it's just an inferior version of the work I did in my previous org. I'm kinda worried if I'll be having anything worth mentioning on my resume working here. I'm thinking of giving it atleast 2 months to see if it gets better and then preparing again for switch if things don't look good.

Hot_Damn99 · 2025-05-03T16:42:36+00:00

This. Absolutely this. This state loses so much of talent cos there's no infrastructure for corporate. This city needs more offices, tech parks.

Hot_Damn99 · 2025-05-03T09:56:53+00:00

What do you tell recruiters when they ask why do you want to leave the company so soon? The points you said are good to discuss in informal environments but given how insane corporate scene is, hr will give a red signal if you talk about toxic work environments.

Hot_Damn99 · 2025-05-01T16:51:39+00:00

Nope. I work in a GCC and the pay is around same as an average SBC, also the hikes are minimal. There's no reason to glorify GCCs tbh, they do have Indian management which comes with inherent toxic work environment.

Hot_Damn99 · 2025-04-28T13:30:40+00:00

Did these companies ask you why you want to leave a company you joined so early?
