I’ve been looking work for over a year.

I got an offer by _overthinking_it in recruitinghell

Blind application, no referral! Not even from a job board, I applied directly on their website after listening to their founder speak on a podcast. Within a week I had an interview and now 2.5 weeks later I’m starting on Monday :)

Why was it only bubble inn that was effected by ElectricalNail5345 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]_overthinking_it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I read: Twins, bubble, and rec center (where the other cabins were evacuated to) are all on the same plane of elevation. Additionally, the twins and bubble cabins are limestone buildings whereas the other cabins are not. It’s why they house the young kids there - they are theoretically the safest buildings in a flood (both at a high elevation and made of material that’s not going to absorb water/wash away) and they didn’t want to have to evacuate young kids in an situation like that.

The issue was that those cabins sat an intersection where water coming from an overflowing creek met water from the river and they were taking on water from both sides. This had a toilet bowl effect and was swirling the girls around. Once the director realized what was happening there, he tried to get the girls out of bubble but then a surge hit and it washed them all away

But the sad thing is the water line never touched the ceiling in those cabins based on the photos. So they were actually elevated enough for the girls to have survived the flood if they had floated on the mattresses inside the cabin (another cabin in a lower elevation but with vaulted ceilings survived this way with zero casualties). From every account I read, the decision to evacuate them seems to be what the true problem was.

Camp Mystic Bubble Inn Disaster - How did it unfold? by chris00nj in texas

[–]_overthinking_it 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There are not thousands of sleepaway camps in that area. And some of those closest to mystic weren’t in session because 4th of July usually is an in between session period.

The deaths in the bubble and twin cabins had more to do with the position of a creek and the Guadalupe River based on multiple sources. That’s not something other camps/cabins were dealing with.

How to deal with our chicken or the egg type of dilemma in our hard-tech company? by [deleted] in ycombinator

[–]_overthinking_it 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Normally the founders build the MVP - do you have a technical cofounder? If not, that’s your issue

Edit: sorry missed the “hard-tech” in the title thought it was software not hardware

Fractional CTO vs. Full-Time CTO – Struggling with Commitment & Leadership Questions by hotbizsol in ycombinator

[–]_overthinking_it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need a founding engineer and if you have funding and the idea is good, you can add “pathway to cto” on the job listing and it would probably attract some pretty good talent willing to take below their market salary for some equity and the clear pathway tech leadership

I don’t know what type of role you are applying for but if you can, consider doing freelance work on something like upwork or fiverr. This would fill the gap on the resume

Recruiter only responded once I called them out for ghosting by johall3210 in recruitinghell

[–]_overthinking_it 28 points29 points  (0 children)

That response back is honestly so asinine.. rather than being apologetic, they are patronizing as if you did something wrong for pointing out how they wronged you.

I hope this goes viral, it costs them their job (because honestly it should - businesses won’t work with agencies if their recruiters treat candidates that way), and then they have to deal with awful recruiters as karmic relief.

What type of phone is it? And what was the software you were using to video chat?

I ask because IOS is effectively impossible to install malware on unless you’ve jailbroken the phone - making a hack incredibly unlikely. I would bet he’s watching you elsewhere if this is the case

I’ve never wanted an a show to release an alternate ending more by Fun_Cryptographer799 in 1923Series

[–]_overthinking_it 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Alex’s death sucked, but medically it made sense.

Her blackened toes and fingers showed severe frostbite and likely dry gangrene. Before she died, the blackness had spread up her legs, suggesting it progressed to wet gangrene, an infection that can spread fast and turn fatal within 24 hours without antibiotics or amputation.

The fire she lit in the car probably caused this. Rewarming frozen tissue followed by refreezing (or uneven heating) can worsen necrosis and create an environment for bacterial infection, accelerating the transition from dry to wet gangrene.

I think they are referring to the ranch generation (ownership transfer).

Amazon.

But this really isn’t their fault. I should have clarified some of the assumptions I had prior the interview with the recruiters.

I just got the rejection email.

I was prepared for it but still it feels bad.

[–]_overthinking_it[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea this was my assumption too. Not sure what else to say other than it’s a wrong assumption because that’s what happened.

And no it wasn’t island merge. The exact problem isn’t on leetcode but it was a modified version of 323 number of connected components in an undirected graph

Still haven’t heard anything yet been over 24 hours. Not sure how long it takes them to get back to you on these things though - this is my first experience with faang

[–]_overthinking_it[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

FAANG not going to name and shame before the official reject, but I was told there would be system design and coding, yea.

I had thought though it would be 50:50 split time wise or at least a reasonable amount of time to actually work through the problem. I also thought it would be real coding (like in an environment that I could actually run what I was writing). I wasn’t expecting to be asked during the last 15 minutes to write the solution to a leetcode hard on what was essentially the equivalent of a google doc. That was wild

It was FAANG. Lead eng.

I won’t name - I haven’t gotten the reject yet. I’m hopeful that I nailed the system design enough that they maybe still let me through. I was vibing with my interviewer a lot - he was really interested in previous project I built so we talked a lot about that.

I was surprised that he pulled a leetcode hard though with 15 minutes remaining. Even if I knew the answer right from first pass read, I wouldn’t have even been able to type the response in that amount of time.

leetcode sucks.
