About time and no more easy rides or passes for anyone. Everyone equally gets the brutal Leetcode hards treatment. Either you pass the threshold or you don't.

Where have DEI initiatives lowered standards of hiring at Google? I think you’re making that up! Be specific, don't deflect and shift into general discourse topics. I am not talking about distractions at work, I'm asking about your specific claim that hiring standards were lowered.

  > Where have DEI initiatives lowered standards of hiring at Google? Other than DeepMind, almost everywhere at Google. For Google to be wasting time on useless initiatives instead of remaining competitive against other companies would have made the difference between survival in this AI race ever since their CEO (Sundar) panicked. It is no wonder many ex-Googlers have lost confidence and left for their competitors who are solely focused on destroying Google after they lost the lead and created an opening. > I think you’re making that up! Really. How exactly is DEI going to save Google in the very deep trouble that they are already in? Losing lots of *key* talent, potential anti-trust breakup, frontier AI companies like OpenAI going after them. I don't think you are paying close attention. Will more DEI initiatives and hires save Google and stop their own CEO from panicking? > Be specific, don't deflect and shift into general discourse topics. I am not talking about distractions at work, I'm asking about your specific claim that hiring standards were lowered. You deflected and did not pay attention. My reply was very specific even after answering your strawman question. My question is very simple: How is DEI hiring going to save Google right now given all the trouble that they are in?

Yeah! Leetcode hards for everyone! Including the PMs, EMs, Directors, and C-suite hires!

The idea that there’s one specific axis on which to judge job candidates that’s 100% objective is a fantasy. Leetcode certainly doesn’t predict how well someone will do at Google, or what they can contribute to a team. If anyone actually believed that they wouldn’t even do interviews.
