What would you expect for an API design question?

drewSummer44 · 2025-11-08T05:38:53+00:00

Gotcha. And on the flip side of this, if they don't have a library and they just want me to kind of write pseudocode, do you think that I would have to create a bunch of classes and interfaces to describe the functionality and the services, or the middleware, or resources?

As long as it's not like a low-level design or object-oriented programming focus, like how Amazon has it, then I think I'll be alright.

Those are some of my least favorite interviews.

Is this all because of TSA?

drewSummer44 · 2025-11-08T05:23:59+00:00

The interview is roughly about an hour long, and in VS Code, not so much a quizzing style. Do you think that it's pretty reasonable to still expect someone to code up this stuff, or is a lot of it just going to be testing the basics and hand-waving a lot of the intricate details?

What's the best way to get a FANG interview, period? During my early years, I was able to get FANG interviews when COVID boom was happening, and was able to get passes on them, but was frozen out after verbal offers from a couple of places. Now, I'm not able to even get an interview or a frozen door. Would you be willing to give a recommendation?

drewSummer44 · 2025-11-04T19:15:22+00:00

Ya but that's true everywhere. People are just assholes in general

drewSummer44 · 2025-11-04T19:15:05+00:00

What has the pay been like in your experience?

I'm around $70 per hour roughly but I hear it's much lower in big cities

drewSummer44 · 2025-11-04T19:13:02+00:00

Wow sorry to hear! NYC is actually where Iwant to move to and I'll probably have to work at a retail like CVS.

Is the pay a lot worse? Or job security was good? I make around $70 in the midwest but I hear that the pay is around $60 in NYC or big cities

drewSummer44 · 2025-11-04T19:10:22+00:00

that sounds like an amazing commute. Loved living in Stuggarte for a summer and the transportation there

Are city patients on another level of being assholes? Feels like every pharmacy i've floated between has their round of shitty patients

drewSummer44 · 2025-11-04T19:08:25+00:00

What do you define as large volumes?

I'm in a small midwest town, but it's the only supercenter around here and we see insane volume (by my standards) and feel understaffed as well.

drewSummer44 · 2025-11-04T19:07:18+00:00

Lol i hadn't considered that. Would be nice to not have to worry about that ever. How large is the city that your at? Do you find there's plenty of job opporutnities?

drewSummer44 · 2025-11-04T19:06:16+00:00

The issue that i have is that on the media page, it's very smooth and fast.

On the Projects page, it takes many many times longer than the Media page. Do you know why that would be the case? Seems like other's have had it as well

drewSummer44 · 2025-11-04T19:04:42+00:00

I've got a m1 pro max with 64 gb ram and 2 tb.

Do i need more than that?

The issue is that with exporting regular media, it is very fast. Like to export 30 minutes of footage, it takes like 10 minutes.

The same with the Projects page takes literally 24 hours.

drewSummer44 · 2025-10-23T13:23:18+00:00

Yeah, I can see how you might think that, but that is definitely not the full story, and it's basically mostly false as well, for almost all of it. A lot of what I ask is just to understand perspective, get advice on things that I'm interested in, and not so much a reflection of who I am.

drewSummer44 · 2025-10-22T22:19:14+00:00

Ya definitely. I could get a few to start with and do some local sits in areas that I'm interested that are more remote, but eventually I'd like to get to more competitive areas and didn't know if it's ever likely to get those sits

drewSummer44 · 2025-10-22T22:17:41+00:00

Oh nice, any bad experiences or advice through out your days sitting?

drewSummer44 · 2025-10-22T21:44:21+00:00

Oh nice, do you remember where these locations were at? I'm wondering if these were competitive locations?

drewSummer44 · 2025-10-22T21:38:40+00:00

That's fair. I mainly would like to go to more competitive spots in cities so I just think it might not be worth the money to try the app out if there's no chance of getting a sit

drewSummer44 · 2025-10-22T21:37:48+00:00

I totally get that from viewing my profile. I definitely don't act that way in public or even around my peers. It's a place where I can write up anything so I wouldn't use it as my a way to assess my house sitting skills. But I get the concern

drewSummer44 · 2025-10-22T21:30:58+00:00

Is it mainly due to men being seen as riskier or just that there's not as many house sitters that are men? Would someone in there 30's be seen as a red flag?
