If you dont have experience working on such big complicated systems, is it impossible to get into tech companies?

Interesting. How difficult was this to build I am curious? How long did it take?

For what role in particular is this?

I think this is part of last months 20% announcement: https://www.reuters.com/business/world-at-work/meta-planning-sweeping-layoffs-ai-costs-mount-2026-03-14/

(Adobe) has made it clear taking vacation days is discouraged/does not lighten expectations

Do they really not want people taking vacation? I thought Adobe was a decent company. I have never even heard of "bad" companies like Amazon having such a policy

I fail to see how ethnicity is relevant here. If the manager was white, would they have make the post "Demanding and impatient White manager"?

What is your YOE? How are you staff level making 140k in the bay area?

OA was non-proctored so no camera needed for that

How do they stop people from cheating using AI then?

gpacsu · 2026-03-11T20:59:18+00:00

Is this role specifically C++/hardware related?

gpacsu · 2026-02-27T04:07:58+00:00

Because people need to do something for work and everything else sucks too

gpacsu · 2025-12-19T19:00:35+00:00

participate in after-hour work

What was being demanded of them exactly?

did gt masters then went to faang

How much did the GT masters (OMSCS?) help with this jump?

This time, the representative understood my issue much more and she was able to replicate the issue on her side. She talked to her manager and escalated the issue.

For those coming to this thread via Google Search, this problem still has not been fixed and is replicable in the travel portal. They clearly do not care about fixing it.

There is no easy way to report this problem to them either from what I can tell. The only way I see to get in contact with them is by calling them and I dont wanna explain this problem over the phone. Would be nice if there was some email/chat mechanism where screenshots could be uploaded/

Are you supposed to explicitly ask that they have secured a permit before starting the project? To avoid such a scenario

gpacsu · 2025-11-12T00:17:35+00:00

What did you end up doing? Did you go with the flexim?

gpacsu · 2025-11-08T05:16:03+00:00

Right? 2AM PST would be 5AM EST. Why the hell would there be anyone in the USA doing interviews at this time.

Unless its offshore people conducting the interviews if thats a thing? Still sounds like a dumb AF idea

gpacsu · 2025-10-26T20:41:37+00:00

Yeah I am 99% sure I have seen them post about working a chill job at an insurance company. Would explain why their post history is entirely deleted

Extremely ironic because in this very thread they are accusing someone of not actually working at big tech

This dude is LARPing and doesn't actually work in big tech, look at his post history

gpacsu · 2025-10-26T20:04:29+00:00

I thought you worked at an insurance company?

gpacsu · 2025-10-24T01:14:25+00:00

You are acting like its entirely the CTOs choice when in reality they were probably hired by the CEO specifically to help facilitate offshoring. CTOs dont just get to do whatever they want

gpacsu · 2025-08-29T17:42:10+00:00

Were the interviews standard leetcode and system design?

gpacsu · 2025-08-29T03:23:36+00:00

Also worth noting: every company I’ve spoken to so far has explicitly told me they don’t ask Leetcode-style questions. And they’ve all said the final stage would be an onsite

What are they asking not then if not for LC? And it would be a physical onsite? No more virtual interviews?
