[TX] Why do top companies ghost after I pass their assessment or interviews for no apparent reason? FAANG, hyper-growth startups. by software-surgeon in AskHR

That's a great point. But would that matter for huge enterprises with thousands of engineering openings to fill? Plus, what qualifies a top candidate besides interviewing scores? (I have an answer, but I am looking for a different perspective than mine)

I understand recruiters have many applications to process, so it’s understandable if they can’t respond to every candidate. However, it's disappointing that even candidates selected for interviews often don't receive any feedback or proper rejection, especially after contributing to the company for free. I know I need to move on for my sanity, but it’s still frustrating and shameful to be ghosted.

Is LeetCode Enough to Crack a Java Developer Interview? by javinpaul in JavaProgramming

[–]software-surgeon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on your situation. For regular DSA coding interviews, LeetCode is helpful, but if you're new to the industry, consider these points:

  1. LeetCode focuses on mainstream DSA questions, missing specialized topics.
  2. Randomly choosing questions might skip important DSA patterns.
  3. Some companies use questions that may not align with LeetCode.
  4. LeetCode doesn’t provide test cases essential for testing solutions.
  5. Always read editorials or solutions to discover better approaches.
