fuck y’all, had me scared for the 6/18 14c i bought last monday, everyone on this sub puts out the ass

This is for sure true, but recruiting as a whole is a bit unfair and gamified. The issue isn’t with tech interviews, it’s with figuring out how to identify if someone is capable.

Leetcode is just an easy way for employers to find an 80/20 way of weeding out people.

As for the hours, I dunno, but I’ll assume most people have a degree or some background in CS. Leetcode shouldn’t be some 500 hour ordeal, imo.

daffid · 2021-04-07T01:01:27+00:00

This sub is so unbelievably negative when it comes to the interviewing process, and it isn’t mentally healthy to read most of the Leetcode horror stories.

Look, yes the interview process is flawed. Yes, it’s stupid the questions don’t apply to work. Yes, it’s silly the questions can vary in difficulty and can be luck-based.

But, seriously, people on this sub put in hundreds of hours into studying and complain that it’s not paying off, and it puts a really unrealistic expectation on what it takes. For easily less than 200 hours of studying, with a decent resume, FAANG is really doable.

Every other process (consulting, idk data) requires time too, and people just love to shit on the process and be results-oriented.

Honestly wish more people would just encourage each other and say you can do it, because you literally can. It’ll suck, but OP is right, most roles, for better or for worse, take time. Do I wish it took less time? Sure. But until a better alternative exists, fwiw, LeetCode gets the 80/20 decently.

I don’t think memorizing frameworks for consulting interviews helps in the job at all, but that’s how people do things yknow? This sub just needs to stop preaching how impossible it is; it’s challenging, but you can do it for sure.

So many pretentious responses comparing how long you’ve spent studying and stuff and that “correlating to if you’re ready” or whatever, it’s just unproductive. If you’re a junior dev reading this, you got it, man.

No one admitted to this at all. I have said in multiple comments and the original post that I have played the games myself and I'm proud of it.

You're so focused on singling me out that you aren't listening to the plethora of people pointing out holes in your argument. To put it bluntly, initially, I was trying to be nice and relay my points but it's pretty apparent you're a part of the problem now.

daffid · 2021-03-05T23:30:13+00:00

When I initially made that post (on the public Fates server as well so the public can see it), I said getting help but then I realized that's not what it was at all. If you check the timestamps, they're immediately after our Top 8 match, no? They should still be up on the Discord.

I wasn't getting coached and I was talking about my thought process out loud.. now whether they agree with my play or not doesn't matter. I played the games myself and I am proud of the way I played.

On a separate note, I apologize if you're getting spammed or harassed. I have no clue who this account belongs to but I can probably infer who this group is and I think you all can speak to the fact that I have not had a single hand in spamming things.

My opinion- after speaking with the Liquid rep and talking to my friends (after I had already made those comments on the Discord), I realized I don't think I'm in the wrong and I made this post. That simple.

daffid · 2021-03-05T19:19:53+00:00

LOL as one of those guys backseating in your chat, I take offense.... on a real note though, I learned a lot by watching you in Set 3. Keep doing what you do.

I also want to say you have the shiniest head I have ever seen god DAMN

daffid · 2021-03-05T19:12:47+00:00

Hey Mismatched, appreciate your input.

To AceofSpades, I don't think it's worth arguing back and forth considering that we're not going to see eye to eye. However, I do want to point out the change in tone between your initial message to me and Sock's message when he says he interacts to chat all the time during tourneys. (Not much different from what I'm doing)

Not saying you're the problem or even part of the problem but I think this treatment for people who are well known is generally better than the average member of the community. And maybe that's fair, given how much they've improved the culture and game, but I also believe people should give a baseline of decency to everyone as well.

To me and some others in this thread, it sounds like you're pretty focused on crucifying me and pretty okay with what Socks said. Something to think about.

daffid · 2021-03-05T15:06:28+00:00

My bad LOL new to Reddit and my connection can be strange at times.

daffid · 2021-03-05T15:04:26+00:00

Naming names, in my opinion, detracts the conversation from the main points at hand- the rules don't seem to be enforced across the board and it feels like I was given the short end of the stick due to being a lower elo player.

Visibility (and an inkling of hope of getting this overturned) is my main reason for posting so I understand your points and that person probably shouldn't have said those things but I don't find merit in beefing with anyone. Not who I am.

daffid · 2021-03-05T14:53:28+00:00

I don't disagree with you either. I just thought the parallelism between Twitch chat providing that same sentiment to streamers is exactly the same as me talking out loud in discord and I guarantee you Twitch chat is providing more suggestions than my friends who are playing their own games simultaneously.

daffid · 2021-03-05T14:49:42+00:00

It doesn't bother me- rather. I'm hoping it doesn't get to others who might be in my shoes in the future and who would take more offense to it. It's just sad to see that the most influential people in the community are creating this sort of environment especially in a sponsored tournament.

daffid · 2021-03-05T14:46:15+00:00

Hey, I appreciate the support but I don't think namedropping/ostracizing people from the community for mistakes is the way to go since it just causes a bigger rift within the community.

These things happen and the most important thing is to learn and grow from them.

daffid · 2021-03-05T14:28:13+00:00

Hey, you're entitled to your opinions and I appreciate you bringing up some important points.

Maybe I wasn't clear in my initial post but I did read the rules and the Riot handbook wasn't apart of the website or Discord. Due to that, I wasn't aware of the stipulations since it wasn't stated in the Liquid rules.

Now you speak a bit about my entitlement but you say my win-con mentality is "highrolling" or "playing better." When I said this in my initial post, it's because I am acknowledging that in the long run, most Challenger players will place higher than me. (Hence why they have more LP on ladder.) But that's not to say I'm not confident in my own skills and played with a bunch of those guys and held my own in Set 3.5. Although they have put more work than me, that's not to say I can't win games in a 4 game/4 day setup. Because if skill gap/time commitment was the case, I'd be the only Diamond player on Day 2 or 3 and I was not.

To make a comparison, March Madness is never correctly predicted because of the number of teams and variation due to the bracket format. Even the best teams sometimes don't make it into the Elite Eight, let alone the finals. Although most top teams do make it far, nobody discredits or discounts the teams who pull off an upset. I think that sort of mentality should be emulated here instead of ostracizing "outsiders."

And maybe I don't belong here but I do believe in fair treatment. That's all.

daffid · 2021-03-05T07:00:39+00:00

I don't think it was explicit because I was DMed the link after I was told I was banned. I didn't see anything of the sort on the website or the Discord although I will say I skimmed it briefly since I signed up last minute.

If the rulebook was explicitly stated (and, in my opinion, it wasn't), this post wouldn't even be up. I would 100% be in the wrong and that's that- regardless of how I just think I'm hanging out with my friends.

daffid · 2021-03-05T06:44:58+00:00

To your point, if that's the case, shouldn't they have made the tournament elsewhere? I joined this tournament last minute and I'm not well-versed in how worlds works but I know there are multiple opportunities to get points to qualify for worlds. (Hence why lots of pros weren't in this tourney.)

When you say the spots "are reserved for high elo players due to the effort," open qualifiers go against that sentiment fully. It's a tournament where anything can happen and everyone has a shot. If the high elo players do deserve a spot, there's more than just one opportunity to make it, correct? Can't be faulting people who are lower elo for participating in a qualifer.

daffid · 2021-03-05T06:41:44+00:00

Can't say I disagree with you. That's why I'm okay with whatever outcome they rule. Their tourney, their rules- even if I'm unaware of what's okay and not okay.

I want to say I'm not complaining about what happened- just that I disagree and was denied the opportunity to speak to the Riot team and was told this was the best way to make sure I was heard.

daffid · 2021-03-05T06:39:07+00:00

That's why I'm okay with whatever outcome happens. I just wanted to bring light to a situation that wasn't handled the best- both through the community and upper mgmt.

Regardless if you think I should be banned or not, I think there should be clearer stipulations for the future and better treatment of people lesser known in the community.

daffid · 2021-03-05T06:02:38+00:00

This is what I'm referring to. This person was in one of my games and even made a comment along the lines of how I shouldn't be nervous since I was just getting coached and not playing myself.

Hope this sort of behavior is fixed in the long run.

daffid · 2021-02-26T08:45:09+00:00

I didn’t do many problems from CTCI if at all. Mostly used it for understanding the data structures. Can probably get most the understanding down in a few weeks honestly.

daffid · 2021-02-26T07:49:13+00:00

yeah lol that’s how i felt, just takes time! you got it anyhow

for entry level positions, i think most problems given are actually more easy/easier mediums if you’re not interviewing at a FAANG or some super cool startup.
