Also getting completely sick and tired doing hackerrank/leetcode in interviews.
To pass tech interview, I have to do some stupid super-hard hackerrank algorithm test for front-end react positions. wtf?
When he told me to do this and I got annoyed and asked him if they every found the need to design an algo which expired cache, with greater than 10 items, when it's a full moon but not if the number 42 was in a md5 of one of the items.
I asked, isn't this like every other job which is mostly pull from the db, group and minimally process it, push it onto the front page and then spend 80% of the time faffying with vertical-aligning annoying css.
He laughed, but still got me to do the hackerrank algo.
Real motivating to do my own thing. :/
- firstfewshells 6y agoI feel this industry has attracted a lot of run-of-the-mill folks whose primary motivation is to get a high paying job at any cost. They're willing to memorize 500+ LeetCode problems in the hope that in one out of 100 interviews their stars will align and they'll be asked questions which they've seen before. More often than not, such folks tend to be crappy engineers and crappier interviewers. Supply is outstripping demand by quite a lot even though the supply is low quality.
