Depends on the interview. I don't specifically study for Leetcode style problems so I would fail there. Systems design? Not too bad. Take home, sure within some time constraints. The numbers on a job posting are really just a weeding o

Yep. 3 full time remote Senior/Staff SWE roles and one part time contract.

3 full time roles and 1 part time contract. I get bored quickly as well. One of main reasons I started working multiple jobs (the money is nice as well).

Ask for more money. Companies are throwing money at candidates these days. I’ve worked through 10 ish offers the past quarter and about half were 200-225k+ base comp. They all started at the 150-175k range. Non “corporate” jobs.

Just around that time. I work 4 SWE jobs so I tend to move around quite a bit. It comes out to maybe a new job every 4-6 months.

Just don’t do them? I have around 10 years of experience, in a similar place as you. I refuse any leetcode or hackerrank request. I interview pretty regularly, move jobs every couple months. Probably receive 2-3 offers a month without doing

> To answer your original question—- the consequences probably won’t come from the employers, they will shake out in more subtle ways. I think this is the real issue I've found. Employers will likely never find out, and will likely

Yeah I've run into that issue before. Most companies think they have a good meeting culture, but it's doubtful. Here are my tips: - Ask about the number of set meetings they have and the cadence. (daily standup, planning, retr

Thanks! I genuinely wanted to know about consequences I may not have thought about. Legal consequences aside, seems like there aren't many if I'm low key about it. Even the legal consequences are pretty minimal since I'm not

Interesting that you knew and didn't call them out. I've often felt that some folks at my workplace has suspicions but didn't call me out on it since I got my work done. Workplace dynamics are strange. I'm fully ok with

Honestly, I would applaud them for the fact that they're doing their work so efficiently. If they're the type of person that gets a task and completes it in a quarter or half of the time expected, I think I made a good hiring deci

This is probably a benefit of being in a major metro, working remotely, and general market conditions but I've never found it difficult to find another job. The past 10 years (essentially my working career) has been a great time to wor

Yeah I've found that to be the case for some positions. I dislike that work culture and will leave a job pretty quickly if there are too many meetings. > Anyway, it sounds like you are living the dream if you can keep your sanity! I

I'm actually wearing Warby Parker brand glasses :D I put on my employment tax forms that I have multiple jobs and pay estimated taxes. No issues so far. As far as my glasses, I don't believe I've made any claims of being exce

Luckily it hasn't been stressful for me. I'm willing to leave a company quickly if I feel that I don't fit within their culture or the workload is too much. Definitely a good point to consider though. I'm pretty consciou

Gotcha. I typically ask for my background report to be sent to me, I'm always curious what they contain, but I've never actually gotten one... It seemed relatively superficial and mainly focused on big ticket issues like felonies.

by froaway4job 5y ago
Good point. Definitely don't plan on working like this for a long time. I'm building up my savings to make a few large investments and start my own company. Startup as a side job? That would take a ton of work. I typically only sp

Perhaps I should be more open minded, but I have responded to a few comments with disagreements. I'll consider my responses and provide more open discussion. As far as the money goes, my math goes like this: - 1 job: 250-300K cash,

That's fine. Thank you for your perspective.

Thanks for your response. However, this type of moral high ground argument makes very little sense to me. My job(s) aren't the source of my happiness and self satisfaction. I have a family and hobbies outside of work. My work simply fu

Luckily none of my jobs have forced me to install something like that. In general, SWE roles in the US don't require that much micro management. I would probably leave and find a new job if that was the case.
