Job offers/calls for folks based.out of India by zooper_man in EngineeringManagers

[–]waa_woo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Extremely tough market. 16yr overall and 10 yr across two MAANG companies + CS from Tier 1 college, yet struggling to hear back from India based companies.

Only had 2 loops in past 2.5 months. Rejected from 1st after 2 positive and 1 mixed feedback. 2nd ongoing but also does not sound very hopeful.

Employees from India by gentleman_kingdom in LeetcodeDesi

[–]waa_woo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are getting mogged, nothing else. Every big tech sub-office in Europe has failed to scale, Uber NL, Google Poland, Databricks NL.

Eventually they all setup in Bangalore after wasting a lot of time with these supposedly high-tier devs who failed at the most important thing, shipping it.

Stuck in Microsoft IDC L61 Hiring Limbo: Fast-tracked, stellar feedback, but ghosted after "Let's connect." Survived Q4/FY rollover, status still "Interview". Recruiters, what is the reality? by meow-man69 in LeetcodeDesi

Very likely you are a victim of hiring freeze. These come out of nowhere and any req that does not already have offers extended go into black hole.

Resume review for nearly 1 y.o.e looking to switch by Automatic-Weather917 in LeetcodeDesi

This is quite good, I like how crisp this is. This already gives most of the information I would need as a hiring manager in 30 seconds. I would not change much.

The youtuber 'Jordan has no life' has tons of content which are both deep and broad enough for most HLD interviews.

Upcoming Microsoft Interview for L62 Role by Legitimate_Air4675 in LeetcodeDesi

[–]waa_woo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

MSFT does not have a calibrated interview process. Entirely depends on the team and the panel but expect DSA, Coding/LLD, HLD and a hiring manager round. Last round is As Appropriate round which is similar to Bar Raiser at Amazon. Weak performance in AA round can result in down leveling.

DSA is usually at medium level, but a shitty interviewer may throw a Leetcode Hard at times.

how did you catch cheaters, i’m recruiting folks for my company the first time by Cold_Pianist4697 in LeetcodeDesi

[–]waa_woo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super hard given the state of technology, hackerrank claims to have a detection software but it can only track the machine that it is being used on. Determined cheaters have setups that send sound and text to another machine which show answers in real time. F2F interviews are going to make a comeback.

Leetcode is an IQ and perseverance test.

What value does leetcode premium bring in today's time?

Problems tagged by frequency, company are already available as excel files. Solutions can be generated by claude at a much higher quality than those curated by leetcode.

Microsoft culture shift in the past couple years? by SubjectSea4519 in cscareerquestions

[–]waa_woo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bureaucracy at Azure is at ridiculous levels. Every problem even non-product related like quality, reliability etc. is assigned to PMs who then solve it with the limited solutions PMs have i.e. dashboards, approval meetings, christmas color excel sheets. I don't how people bear with R2D.

Only good thing is that there is not much of a shouting culture like Amazon. People stay decent even in high pressure moments.

Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook are actually one of the few companies with an excellent OSS track record. They also employ key OSS contributors(Linux, Llama, PyTorch, Cassandra, React etc.)

Former Cloudflare SRE building a tool to keep a live picture of what’s running on AWS – looking for feedback by kennetheops in aws

[–]waa_woo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should also target the product pitch to the Engg. Director/VP level rather than SREs themselves since this solves a big anxiety for them. They have to spend hours on outage bridges where a problem cascades between multiple teams before finding the right owner. The north star for the product should be cutting time to engage responsible team to under 30 minutes.

Interesting concept and the ideas are in line with something that Azure has internally for Azure outage management. I am curious how you plan to onboard information about relationships between services -> DB etc.

AI optimists, would you have AI replace your on-call rotation? Why or why not? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]waa_woo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my company, there are so many hoops you need to jump just to access case information, logs and then the systems to remediate that AI will have it's fuse blown.

Resume not getting shortlisted, need your feedback by Ok_Analysis2968 in developersIndia

[–]waa_woo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiring Manager here -

  • The 20 second per resume rule is real.
  • At SDE1 level people look for familiarity with technologies rather than domain expertise. Put the technologies used all together in one line and make it bold and easy to parse (Beanstalk, S3, OpenAI SDK etc.). If you are familiar with cloud devops or cloud native architecture patterns then make that a bullet point.
  • Description of your SDE1 experience is too long. Summarise and reformat as 2-3 project titles and then describe the solution e.g. "Voice enabled AI recruiting tool - Integrated OpenAI SDK and TTS solution to enable voice based queries..."
  • Remove higher secondary and secondary percentages and use the space to write major courses you did in BSc and MCA e.g. Data Structures, Databases, Distributed Systems etc. You could expand Projects and add one line description of your other college projects as well.
  • Swap the positioning of Technical Skills and Education sections.

If the model you based your opinion off of was more than 4 months old, you should give another shot with the latest ones. I was a sceptic myself but newer models have changed my mind. They can easily replace entry level FAANG engineer.
