- eyeownyde 11y agoThis is real. Keep in mind, Qureshi taught the algorithms lectures at this bootcamp for what looks like 6+ months after he graduated.
- TheGuyWhoCodes 11y agoSo 3 months of training and 6 months of memorizing algorithms. That's worth 130K + 25k signing bonus(let's leave RSU aside)?! The guy never built a real production system, never shipped a product, wasn't an online tech celebrity, nothing. Something is very wrong here.
- taurath 11y agoMemorizing algorithms is all a lot of big companies care about, it does seem. It feels like it wouldn't be a predictor of success in any way, but hey maybe they're right.
- tossracct3412 11y agoI agree something is wrong; We're all underpaid.
- BlackjackCF 11y agoI think they're leaving out a significant chunk of his experience. I'm sure he's self-taught with a lot of the algorithms, so there was a lot of hard work he had to put in to ace those interviews.
