I don't know the details of your experience (were all 16yrs of experience as a SWE demonstrating a deep technical expertise?), but Google puts engineers with even 2-3years of experience on an L4-interview loop. If you knew that you wer

You want it to be one way... but it's the other way. -Marlo, from The Wire As other commenter's have pointed out, the data you're citing is completely wrong and/or woefully out of date. There's always 4 parts of

Who cares if you're downleveled? The compensation bands are wide enough that they overlap. This usually means that even though you expected level N, you can get your target comp at level N-1 if you negotiate.

no snark meant, but do you have a family? How close have you converged to becoming a digital nomad (which is what you seem to imply your chase is all about)?

I don't know why you're being downvoted, but I agree with your assessment. Your tone is perhaps a bit harsh, but this is precisely the reason large companies grill candidates on basic CS knowledge because like it or not it forms a

This book has about 26 pages dedicated to Dynamic Programming (the remaining 36 pages in the chapter detail different exercise problems but I'm sure are just as educational). I think a strong foundation in recognizing the recurrence is

This is much easier to digest, thank you. What's the significance of computing k^m mod p in this context?

While that is a rather uncharitable reduction of the arguments made, I'm not sure why people are downvoting you.

It causes genocide? Or it doesn't help prevent it? Those are 2 different things. It's unclear to me how Google's absence from the Chinese market actually ameliorates your concerns regarding Tibet.

Please unpack for me how opening up Google Search in China precipitates genocide.

Do you have any links you can point me to that demonstrate the pro-Dragonfly folks going through similar lengths to "have themselves heard"? What part of my statement seems unsubstantive?

It confounds me that people who are not natively Chinese, or have never lived there, or ever used the existing search infrastructure (ex: Baidu) make sweeping claims with such confidence that they truly know what's best for Chinese peo

I think it's perfectly permissible for different cultures to value different careers; I believe the argument is that there shouldn't be any other imposed barriers (ex: due to discrimination) for them to re-calibrate their value sy

I ask because Github attempted this while organizing ElectronConf a year ago, but it turned out their blind submission review process[1] resulted in an all-male panel. Someone noticed and got upset[2], after which Github canned it. There wa

We should all heavily invest in the pipeline problem through outreach and what not, but I'm genuinely curious: what happens if the underrepresented minorities don't make it past the blind skill validation?

There are L4 SWEs (so ~5yrs of experience) at Google that make upwards of $400k (including mild stock appreciation ofcourse). Directors (L8s and above) are easily clearing $1M with the right competing offers.

... only that in 2018, it's anything but $100k. New grads would scoff at that; they're easily clearing $200k if not more[1] And I wholeheartedly agree with your statement. YC's stance is convenient since they have a vested in
