I've done a large number of interviews by reaching out through my network and those interviews are no different. The companies involved still have a process whereby they get your resume as an internal recommendation, then move you over to the usual programming riddles, hazing, bullshit kinds of hiring stuff.
Unless someone in your network has enough political pull to ensure you get bypassed around that shit, then network-based interviews are absolutely no different than other kinds.
- fossuser 11y agoYep - network helps you get an interview where you otherwise would be ignored (if you haven't gone to MIT/Stanford/CMU and haven't yet worked at Google/Facebook/Palantir/YC Startup), but it doesn't get you out of the interview puzzles. Only way to bypass that is to start your own company or know somebody in a powerful position.
