i have considered florida (moving from CA) but each time i look at rent cost it is not much cheaper than in CA if you want to be by the coast (e.g. west palm beach). there are people with money there too just like in CA. the difference is y

you can leave your web stuff at the door. unless you have a really good reason to use client/server architecture, or make everything async, just write your monolithic desktop app using a framework like QT which will interface with a da

cost of living is driven by FAANG and startups use the same leetcode hiring process as FAANG, but pay less. the equity you get has a miniscule chance of becoming valuable.

leetcode was introduced because the founder in india could not get a job because he didn’t have a degree. so he made a platform where people could prove how good they were. the trouble is that this just trains code monkeys to memorize optim

this illustrates the problem very well. your lock free solution is superior yet the interviewer had no clue and you only know about this solution due to experience which is not what leetcode optimizes for.

companies can win by hiring exceptional people with deep experience. the cost of not hiring these people has been unquantified. i would never want to be in their position. imagine a startup hires that one person who will make a billion doll

the goal of the leetcode interviews is to get into who is the smartest mode, so the cost of hiring can be driven down. those who conduct the interviews are unaware of this. the process you describe would result in paying people more which i

you can’t live on 50k per year in the bay area or LA unless you have roommates and eat at work both of which are not sustainable. any decent apartment is going to be already 4k per month and you can easily spend another few K on food and ot

based on levels.fyi senior comp should be somewhere around 800k TC which makes sense taking into account what living in metro areas in CA will cost taking everything into account long term. of course a large part of that is equity etc. 200k

think about the 6 figures it costs you when recruiters damage your brand due to them alienating qualified candidates with stupid coding interviews and treating them like idiots who will work hard for shitty compensation.
