You......ask what people got on the SATs in your job interview?
- iammisc 5y agoFor my first jobs out of college, I listed my SAT scores. EDIT: Don't understand the downvotes. I went to a top liberal arts college and they told us to, if it was over a certain number. It worked broadly speaking.
- TigeriusKirk 5y agoI did too. It specifically came up in interviews as a reason they brought me in.
- sokoloff 5y agoOne place I worked at did, by policy (D. E. Shaw & Co.). It was also the place with the densest collection of high-achieving, highly intelligent colleagues that I’ve ever experienced.
- rejectedandsad 5y agoDE Shaw rejected me after I submitted my SATs (not once, but twice). What even is the point of living if society deems people like me to be inherently inferior for life?
- sokoloff 5y agoAlmost no place has this (fairly pointless IMO) policy in place. How predictive is the SAT test I took when I was 16 to my performance on the job a decade later?
- rejectedandsad 5y agoYou went to MIT so fairly predictive I think, as you just said it was the densest region of talent you’ve ever seen. If you saw my resume you’d understand how hopeless it is for people like me. It’s depressing.
- netr0ute 5y agoYou can actually take the SAT at any age, so I'd say there's no reason to not try and get a high score.
- briefcomment 5y ago+1
- mcguire 5y agoWell, it is basically an IQ test.
- tomjakubowski 5y agoIn other words, an SAT score is most meaningful at the low end of the range?
- munchbunny 5y agoGoogle used to ask college candidates (I was asked). I don't know if they still do.
