If they had the ability to turn it around, they would have... years ago. Unless they get a new CEO/leadership and take radical shifts in strategy, I don't see anything happening.

It sucks because high fructose corn syrup tastes worse than sugar for a lot of people too.

Maybe Lyft/Ubers should have video cams recording footage at all times, I know many drivers already do. It can help protect the driver just as much as the customer.

Google and Amazon are in Austin and maybe Dallas, and pay pretty well.

People want to live in SF because it's cool. A lot of people who work at Facebook and Google would still rather live in SF and commute 2-3 hrs roundtrip each day rather than live in Menlo Park/Mountain View (or surrounding cities)

How did you make that amount? Was it also as an early employee at a startup, or as a founder?

I work at a FAANG and have many friends/colleagues that do + have access to voluntarily shared internal compensation data at my company. The numbers are fairly accurate, but are slightly (~5-10%) skewed higher. This could be because th

Couldn't you just break the ternary up? if a == b { return 0 } return a > b ? 1 : -1 Also it would be ~7 lines, not 10? if a > b { return 1 } else if a < b { return -1 } else { return 0 }

How'd you do your math? 50k every year @ 8% would result in 317k and 782k in 5 and 10 years respectively.

Is there any type of analysis done on how effective each interviewer is at gauging a good candidate? How effective a particular question is? Or even how effective each type of interview is (behavioral, algorithms, practical, systems design,

It depends on the large tech company. If you try that at Facebook or Netflix for example, you'll be out on your ass pretty quick.

Pay as much as FAANG and trust me, you'll get your senior engineers.

Larger companies usually have more brand recognition == more applicants. Many smaller companies are essentially unknown to the public and need to rely much more on talent agencies to bring in applicants.

I've seen total compensation packages of $100k for senior engineers in SF/SV before (really low side), FAANG comparatively would pay $350k+. There are plenty of public companies in SF/SV that pay senior engineers $175k total

If the OP was already good at algorithms, then a day or two of refresher is probably all that'd be needed. It's made clear that he didn't have a fundamental grasp at doing harder algorithm questions, hence why he needed so mu

A lot of big companies (FAANG) do test platform domain knowledge, many also do platform-specific coding sessions. The reason why interviews aren't solely composed of platform questions, is that they want some measure of how good you&#x

You usually work harder at most startups than you would at a big company.
