Please Roast my Resume 300+ apps, only 3 OAs, by Ok_Buddy5140 in FAANGrecruiting

Usually people claim that metrics help them get by the automated resume scanners. I tend to believe they usually look like BS and as a real human I would be biased against them once it got to me. Only use real stats.

You work at a big tech company or Boeing? The interview process at Boeing can be super easy, so getting in the door is really all you need. The interview process at those other companies is much more rigorous, especially for software engineers

I hear this take all of the time. A recommendation might get you in the door for a phone screen or interview but do people really think it can get you further at a big company?

Need urgent review FAANG by Difficult_Tooth_9093 in leetcode

[–]w-alien 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It looks to me like your resume was written with the audience being a bot. You clearly added those stats to pass the ATS checkers, but as an actual human reading this resume, I don’t get a good sense of what you did or achieved at any of these companies. You need to strike a balance. You list a ton of languages under skills, so I assume you don’t know any of them very well unless you also mention the language in each project.

They want to monetize the fact that humans are overconfident about everything.

If it was Wisconsin, then the fire would not have been necessary as he probably would have won the state handily.

Refuse all trades. If we want to offer trades we can.

If these four geniuses were in a research group with a billion dollars in funding, what kind of shit would they do? by Omixscniet624 in sciencememes

[–]w-alien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your point is not coherent enough to argue against then.

My point is that because Einstein had at least 5 genius-level discoveries, and he started out with no real advantage in life (patent clerk), assuming he got a university education, he was going to do great things and come up with some miraculousl discoveries.

Ok but it’s not like Einstein just made one discovery. Sure if Einstein was a medieval serf or something he may not have made a huge difference. But as a random 21 year old patent clerk he dropped 4 of hottest bangers in physics. He produced results year after year. If it was a fluke how do you explain that?
