I spent a year on LC to get a fang job, I actually felt it helped me improve my short-game programming skills. The problem was I then started applying for regular jobs who didn't care about LC so much and I was failing on system design, experience with frameworks etc. I spent so much time on LC I was neglecting to keep up on cool tech. So now I'm doing that. Its kinda weird being programmer for 20 years in a market where everyone is "desperate" to find programmers yet I'm struggling to get a 200k+ job. Yeah I haven't gone for regular corporate jobs yet but looks like I'll end up in that end of the pool.
- froaway4job 5y agoAsk for more money. Companies are throwing money at candidates these days. I’ve worked through 10 ish offers the past quarter and about half were 200-225k+ base comp. They all started at the 150-175k range. Non “corporate” jobs.
- dnissley 5y agoWait, why are you applying for "regular" jobs if you are decent at lc? Those jobs simply don't pay 200k+. There is only a small percentage of companies that do (maybe a pool of less than 1000?), and they mostly don't care of you have experience with xyz framework.
