Agree. Srsly, the expectations on new grads is stupid high, for many professions, not just CS. And leetcode does not prove anything.

- MuffinFlavored 4y ago> Srsly, the expectations on new grads is stupid high Is part of this because not too long ago, Facebook + Google were basically giving the top new grads $175k signing bonuses to convince as much top tier talent to work for them as possible (and things of this nature)?
- game_the0ry 4y agoFAAANG unintentionally limited its own hiring pool by implementing leet code for their own hiring screens. They accidentally set the bar to high and the hiring process filtered people with a limited skill set that almost always had little relevance for the job they were hired for. This throttled the market as a whole, limiting supply of workers which drove up TC. The upside at least is that I can play that game too and optimize for it, and then reimplement the same practice which further limits the supply of labor and benefits my TC at the expense of the company I work for. Win.
