How does having ample time to prep for leetcode like problems make you a better candidate exactly?
- quanto 5y agoI think GP meant 'poor' as in poverty. It goes with your examples of economic hardship and not having the free time for leetcodes. My charitably interpreting 2c, anyway.
- rightbyte 5y agoOh ye. I didn't think you could interpret what I wrote as "poor [quality] candidates".
- marcellus23 5y agoI’m not him but I read his comment as simply taking issue with the idea that it’s minorities in particular who don’t have time for that, rather than simply poor people. (The terms are not interchangeable, since there are many wealthy people who are members of a minority, and there are many poor white people)
- rightbyte 5y agoYes thank you. Sometimes you should just write out things explicitly ...
- rerx 5y agoFinancially poor
- ivanbakel 5y agoI think the GP likely meant "poor" in the sense of "destitute", not "poor-quality".
