The problem is for upper management there is usually a much shorter list of expectations, consisting of things like "propensity to work as much as needed to meet deadlines".
- throwitaway298 3y agoCan you leetcode? Can you design stuff on a whiteboard to scale to 18 billion users? Can you do it very fast? You're hired.
- ysofunny 3y agoI'd expect that somebody that can do that is doing the hiring, possibly as a founder?
- melkor73 3y agoFounders never put themselves through the hoop jumping they put their employees through. Most wouldn't even meet the bar at their own companies.
- throwitaway298 3y agoIt's been brought up that people who do the hiring or serve on the hiring committee would not be hired themselves based on their own hiring criteria and bar.
- drewcoo 3y agoPossibly why As hire Bs and Bs hire Cs. If the interviewers aren't good enough to be hired, they certainly aren't good enough to interview.
- mp05 3y agoEveryone has a price. If you want upward of 60 - 70 hours a week from me at any given point, great. We're gonna double that comp package right? There will still be some boundaries, but we'll get that in the contract. Believe me, I understand as well as anyone how being a salaried employee can turn into abuse, but it shouldn't be a crime for someone to need the unicorn, rockstar, 10x leetcode ninja to really crank for months on end.... so long as they're appropriately compensated! That said, I'll never, ever do that again UNLESS it's my company.
