- pizzaknife 6y agoHow does one fib proficiency in a role as an individual contributor? I mean after school is through? I have been a software engineer for 14years. I am self taught with only a 2yr degree i completed my 4th year into this career. Can a line in resume(a degree mention) remedy a failed technical screening process? Personal experience : I have declined several MD CS holders this year alone for positions because their demonstrated abilities were not up to par(and these were not particularly difficult questions).

- otagekki 6y agoYeah, incredible story... Could have lasted, but too bad he was a bit careless in handing out his company's personal credentials to the Chinese team as well.
- delaynomore 6y agoPeople cheat for all kinds of reasons. I'd say in many cases it bears little or no relevance to their proficiency as an IC. For example, I've seen people cheat in a Computer History class (compsci elective) presumably because they just want an easy A to push up the GPA. It doesn't necessarily mean they can't code.
- suramya_tomar 6y agoEven if they can code, I don't think I would want to hire anyone who would cheat on something so basic just to push up their GPA. What is to prevent them from doing the same thing at work to get a better bonus/raise? In the end it comes down to trust. We can't trust someone who is willing to cheat to get ahead even if they are a super coder. - Suramya
