But... is the interviewee proxy doing this as a side gig? If they are good enough to get paid (presumably) for taking interviews, how can that be more valuable than just taking one of the jobs they successfully interview for?
- farmerstan 5y agoWho wouldn’t pay $10,000-50,000 for a guaranteed FAANG job? There are some people out there that can absolutely pass every single interview. And if they look like you, especially over zoom, then how would they know?
- ghaff 5y agoI would hope plenty of people won't commit fraud to get a tech job. >how would they know Maybe someone could get off with it if they're early in their careers. But if you're more senior, lots of people probably know you.
- omegadeep10 5y agoI think the interviewee proxy is probably located in a non-US country where they wouldn't be able to work for a well-paying tech company. They could also be doing it for cash on the side. A few hours of interviews a week for a significant chunk of change.
- raincom 5y agoYes, they are such services available. You can find them on ethnic forums online.
- rightbyte 5y agoMy experience with hustlers is that they do alot of work to not work.
- jonnycomputer 5y agoSure. OTOH lots of good coders don't do well in interviews; some good interviewers aren't really dependable employees long term. So here we have a case of specialization. Someone making good money doing what they are good at: technical interviews. Not defending it. I think it sucks (and this happens for college admissions too).
