For me personally, as someone who has finished all the existing levels, just skipping the resume screen is actually a big value add (at least in principle, assuming they get the recruiting side worked out). I also really enjoyed writing the software for the trading levels.
On the other hand, I don't have a CS degree and currently work as a mechanical engineer, so the resume screen is relatively harder for me.
- kbenson 10y agoI've spent over 15 years in either a senior sysadmin, software engineer, or combined position at multiple companies, but never once once interviewed for such a position, even though I do have a CS degree. Going through an interview process is not something I would look forward to (to put it mildly).
- EdHominem 10y agoYou either interview explicitly or implicitly - it still comes down to five minutes where your new boss evaluates the real you and figures out where to put you. If you go into this eyes open you can control it. Put your best foot forward.
- kbenson 10y agoWell, when the real you moved up from a prior position, or has consulted for the company for a few years, or has worked at the company multiple times in the past and kept in touch with old managers, sometimes it's less of a "let's discuss whether it will work" and more of a "you mean you're finally saying yes?"
