I have never heard the word "Leetcode" where I work, or indeed anywhere other than HN, and I've interviewed candidates for every rung of the IC ladder. Never seen it on a resume, either.
- strikelaserclaw 5y agoSoftware engineer salaries are increasing following a bimodal distribution, i always thought you had to be a genius level person to work at FB, GOOG, then i see my own coworkers (whom i consider smart but not exceptional) do the leetcode grind and 2x their salary. I'm pretty much in the same boat with you, i worked mainly outside of SF/Seattle for a long time and i'm amazed how much these engineers get paid compared to other cities.
- djur 5y agoI'm working at an SF company. Is this a FAANG thing?
- strikelaserclaw 5y agoprobably, i only have a outsiders view into the software engineers in that city so my view could be heavily skewed by people who only announce their comp if its high.
