Leetcode style interviews allow companies to practice ageism under the guise of testing for qualified candidates.
- kfarr 5y agoAgreed, but not outrageous IMHO. I'm guessing at least one other ism was practiced, purposefully or not.
- pacomerh 5y agoThis is not outrageous, very possible
- trinovantes 5y agoWouldn't it be easier if they just not interview anyone with more than X years of work history?
- dragonwriter 5y ago> Wouldn’t it be easier if they just not interview anyone with more than X years of work history? No, because leetcode at least superficially seems like it might have some positive connection to performance. The point is for the age discrimination to be covert.
- erik_seaberg 5y agoI can write code over fifty. I don’t ask for perfect obscure algorithms, but in this market schmoozing can’t be enough.
