"Technical interviews are feared and hated in the industry, and it turns out that these interview techniques may also be hurting the industry’s ability to find and hire skilled software engineers."
It doesn't hurt "the industry", there's a competitive edge to hiring otherwise superior engineers that are passed up by poor hiring practices at certain companies.
Not everybody needs to work at FAANG, or worse, companies that act like they're FAANG. Less money, less bullshit.
- deedubaya 6y agoI just went through a job search and this is what I landed on. Every CRUD webapp startup thinks they need FAANG-like hiring processes and fucking suck at it. I ended up taking a job that was mostly a no-interview process. Two calls to talk about the fit. They looked at my job history (gasp!) talked to some references (double gasp!) verified my ability to code with my github contributes (omfg I can't breathe!) and offered me a position. Less money, but definitely less bullshit. It was a good choice for me.
