Basing your worth around a quiz only further enables whiteboard and leetcode style interviews. I've never seen why these interviews are useful or an indicator of anything beyond someone's ability to sit at home for hours on end doing the same things over and over. A company I would want to work for would be doing something for sustainability/climate change or another social good and would focus more on behaviour and critical thinking skills.
- ryukoposting 6y agoI did the quiz, then a practice interview. Never did the real interview since I found a fantastic opportunity elsewhere. The interviewer was respectful of the fact that my niche isn't really what the interview was designed for (embedded systems, FPGA work, etc), and provided opportunities for me to display problem-solving skills. Of course, the quiz was purely technical, but it's hard to expect anything more from an automated quiz you can do in 30 minutes. As far as I can tell, the quiz only serves as a filter for basic competency, then the interview is an evaluation of the traits you describe.
- dllthomas 6y ago> sustainability/climate change or another social good Ah, yeah, if you get too narrow in your targeting, it probably makes more sense to focus on networking than any sort of recruiter. That said, I saw quite a range when I went through Triplebyte a bit more than a year ago. I wound up at a company making 3D printers, which has (temporarily) semi-pivoted to make lots and lots of (clinically validated) NP swabs for COVID testing. So social good can show up in a lot of places :)
