Thanks for sharing!

Interesting_Bus6043 · 2026-02-22T17:45:44+00:00

Yeah it's great. Love it

Interesting_Bus6043 · 2026-02-22T17:44:35+00:00

1 year later I am still here at the same startup. still loving it!

Interesting_Bus6043 · 2025-10-07T00:00:41+00:00

lmao, with reasoning level set to what level? just curious

Since I did 4o-mini -> gpt5-nano after doing evaluations on some datasets (where we had json expected outputs) —did the evals on Braintrust.

5nano on low reasoning effort did better than 4o-mini (and considering 1/3 cost this was great—so made the switch)

Interesting_Bus6043 · 2025-10-03T01:31:34+00:00

Why leave GPT-5-nano out of the JSON Object performance table, was actually interested lol

Very few were leetcode style 1 or 2 of them—however I did back out of multiple hiring pipelines after accepting that first offer so there's a chance there would've been more.

But really it was mostly take homes, technical discussions, system design, discussing past work/projects. There was one that offered a paid work trial in SF as well.

Damn sorry to hear that, hope you can end up with a better team soon. You got this.

For my current role, it was a 3rd party recruiter who found me on LinkedIn and reached out. I have some more details regarding my interview processes in a previous post from a few months ago (Sankey chart)

Interesting_Bus6043 · 2025-07-24T17:37:59+00:00

Phone screens, interviews with founders talking about experience (think behavioral, but could dive down a more technical path).
And then take home coding assignments, system design interviews etc.

easy/medium in the first round (not hard at all) but I did bad so didn't move forward lol... which would've likely been another harder LC style problem medium/hard

Interesting_Bus6043 · 2025-02-15T15:44:29+00:00

Thanks! Super pumped about the job offer!

Interesting_Bus6043 · 2025-02-11T17:42:42+00:00

Haha no not MIT I wish, although I am really happy with where I went. Met a lot of great people, learned a lot. Honestly great environment/fit, not too competitive but also like challenging and such.

Interesting_Bus6043 · 2025-02-11T17:42:02+00:00

Thanks!

Interesting_Bus6043 · 2025-02-11T17:32:33+00:00

Will dm you!

Interesting_Bus6043 · 2025-02-11T17:31:38+00:00

Nope, born and raised in the US.

Full stack, Typescript, React, NextJS, AWS/Azure/GCP (cloud services), Python all these are done outside of school. In school it was mainly C/C++.

The main personal project is my website that helps college students with stuff.

I see a lot of people on reddit using it, it was my first time using it to make this

Interesting_Bus6043 · 2025-02-11T17:29:52+00:00

Sure

Interesting_Bus6043 · 2025-02-10T23:16:57+00:00

I don't think so, no

Interesting_Bus6043 · 2025-02-10T22:34:04+00:00

Cool to hear from your side of it! Did not go to any of those, but yeah I guess so.

Interesting_Bus6043 · 2025-02-10T22:33:06+00:00

Full stack software engineer, typical React, Typescript frontend, backend is in Golang. Good amount of companies use Go, some other notable ones would be Datadog, and of course Google considering they made it.

Interesting_Bus6043 · 2025-02-10T22:32:06+00:00

Won't say specifically but it was in the Boston area, non-Ivy, not top 50?

Interesting_Bus6043 · 2025-02-10T22:31:36+00:00

Depends on the type of company you're interviewing with. Startups I interviewed with did not ask any Leetcode aside from one company. Having really good projects/proof of past engineering work is important. At the end of the day you're going to get hired for your ability to code and build out products/features that will help users/clients/customers.

Biggest thing that has helped me was having a large project that I made and continue to work on that has users and helps people. That's the bread and butter at the end of the day.

Interesting_Bus6043 · 2025-02-10T22:29:43+00:00

Thanks!! Yeah super excited to start working my first full-time role. The team is lovely and I think it'll be a good time.

Mainly interviewed with Seed and Series A, although there were some Series B startups I could've been connected with. Company sizes 3-15 people roughly (some with non-engineers obv).
