Senior to Staff positions at medium to large private or mid cap public companies expect little from their engineers :).
Definitely not 10x and I suck at leetcode style problems. I'm probably a 2xer who acts like a 1xer. That's the real secret. Don't overachieve.

- quadcore 4y agoYou are actually the living proof there is a 5x to 10x difference between some programmers. Since you have 4.5 jobs. Thanks for coming forward.
- froaway4job 4y agoI guess technically the math works out that way :) In my opinion I'm seriously mediocre as an engineer. Slightly above average at best. I'm just good at managing my time, which is more of a business/personal skill than any engineering skill.

- winterplace 4y agoCould you make a protonmail address? It is good to have a circle of non-public capable people. Will be good if you can be contacted.
- winterplace 4y agoSeries D companies above 1B valuation? How did you make it to senior staff without leetcode? How many years YOE to get there?
- froaway4job 4y agoI did a lot of leetcode when I first started. Nowadays, and especially in this market, it's not hard to find companies not doing any leetcode style interviews. If you have a decent GitHub profile and years of experience you can outright say in interviews that you won't be doing any leetcode style problems. It's an engineers market, take advantage of it!
- winterplace 4y agoHow many years in a number? Which kind of companies are you talking about? Lifestyle business or seed stage or Series A / B / C / D / E? Nobody really looks at GitHub though. A/b tested it and only very few looked.
