Pay the price, study leetcode, find that stupid subsequence. That's a few weeks of your life, which is an ok price if it results in a better pay package/more stable environment/whatever it is you really want.
Would it be better if interviews didn't suck? Sure. Not going to change any time soon.
(OTOH, if it's just an incremental change, maybe not worth it. Do the math, figure out how highly you value a change, and compare to how highly you value, say, three weeks of vacation)
- valbaca 4y agoYou're absolutely right about just biting the bullet and grinding as it should pay off tenfold for a salary increase. I know it's all really just a numbers game. The """problem""" is I already make $250-300k. Last year I went through 30 interviews. They either fell through because of salary (they couldn't even come close to my current) or they just straight up lied until the very end about it being remote (name & shame: Notion, Lune, and Spotnana). The time-cost was sunk and net zero value. The worst taste in my mouth was the recruiters basically negging and gaslighting me for asking as much as I did or saying I couldn't possibly know all the things on my resume. I'm literally doing those things daily and collecting the paycheck every month. Maybe I'm just in a local maxima? My plan was to rest-and-vest but the vest part ain't happening at the level it was supposed to.
