As an interviewer at a FAANG, this gets an immediate "I may not answer that" and a little disappointment in my mind. We do not assess resumes, only performance at the interviews. Resumes are only for screening. But this may be a good question at small companies that don't have a streamlined process. Take into account who you're talking to.
- novok 6y agoAlso as a FANG interviewer, despite training saying otherwise, you know interviewers still think about that stuff anyway.
- jamespollack 6y ago"Resumes are only for screening" -- yeah FAANGs suck at looking at you as a person, at every point in the interview process you end up having to repeat yourself and almost no interviewer ever looks at your resume. it's as if your entire history of being alive and working doesn't matter, only that you can operate as a DS&A robot that doesn't ask too many questions.

- Shish2k 6y ago> yeah FAANGs suck at looking at you as a person […] almost no interviewer ever looks at your resume I feel like I’m missing your point here... you are correct - when I’m doing a coding interview, I don’t care if you’re black or white, male or female, university educated or self-taught, the only thing I care about is whether or not you can code[1]. You seem to be suggesting that that’s a bad thing? [1] Of course any major red flags like muttering racist curses when you get frustrated would also be noted; it’s not like I ignore the human side of things, I’m just not actively looking for that~
