> FAANG...have literally too much talent coming through the door
From first hand experience, I would strongly disagree...
I won't beat the dead horse of the sad state of tech interviews, but just wanted to point out that this statement does not align with my experience at all.
- quakingaspen 7y agoI'm curious: Are you saying that FAANG have many applicants, but not that much talent? Or not as many applicants as people say they do? Or something else
- cameronbrown 7y agoI'm more referring to quantity than quality. At that scale it's better to optimise for a lower false positive rate because your business isn't going to collapse if you miss a decent candidate.
- cle 7y agoIt will negatively impact the business if the business can’t identify the best candidates. It can have a low false positive rate and still hire relatively mediocre engineers. Which is what I’ve seen happen over and over again.
