I think it might've changed recently? I just looked on their job openings and see a SWE internship for this summer listed: https://jobs.netflix.com/jobs/234866639 I thought I remembered reading a few months ago th

From my limited Amazon selling knowledge: First paragraph sounds like you’re allowed to have multiple Amazon seller accounts tied to a listing. I think the dummy account was used as a way to prevent the main account from being banned if peo

Honestly, it sounds like you’re a great developer that works hard and cares about doing a good job. It sounds like you’re judging your abilities based on your ability to do LeetCode problems. You’re not giving yourself enough credit for wh

Hey! I run a job board at NoWhiteboard.org for companies not using whiteboard/LeetCode interviews in their interview process. I can add Neuralink’s roles to the website for free! If you’re open to it, could you share the high level ove

Pretty interesting timing! I was on a plane ride to Barcelona around the same time you sent this, and I had also quit my job last week as well. I’m planning on trying out the mini-retirement route. Not much more to add here, but I hope your

Congrats on the launch! I run a job board for companies that don't do LeetCode interviews (www.nowhiteboard.org) and would love to add any companies that use your platform for free & see if we can partner up somehow! I think a big

Not missing anything at all. I wish the same effort that people put into companies like this were instead put towards fixing the system instead. Even places like interviewing.io acknowledge the problem (Example: https://blog.int

These are pretty awesome looking take-home interviews! I run a job board for companies that don’t do LeetCode interviews and would be interested in getting these companies and others added in. May end up emailing you to see if I can get mor

I think that's a great approach - do you have any interest in sharing the overall interview process? I run a job board for companies that don't do LeetCode interviews and could get Aserto added to it!

Woah, that'd qualify as minimal to me! I've been seeing CS-related materials popping up a lot targeting elementary-school aged children and older, but never anything targeting babies. Thanks for sharing your numbers as well, those

Appreciate the response! I kept it more limited to US companies in the short term just to limit scope, but I’ll expand it to the other companies at some point. For some of the other companies, they use very unusual job application platforms

I made a job board that showcases the latest job postings that don’t use LeetCode interviews: https://www.nowhiteboard.org Also, I just added a feature where you can see upfront what programming languages a job posting includes

Interesting perspective! That reminds me of the Dunning-Kruger effect, which essentially states that people with low mastery will over-estimate their actual abilities. And then as you get more experienced, you get a better understanding of

Hi all, blog post writer here! This was my first time writing a blog post, so curious to see thoughts/criticisms. Also available on Twitter @NoWhiteboardOrg if you’d like to chat me up/DM me there!

I made https://nowhiteboard.org with a google sheets back-end. I use an open-source project someone made that lets you export a google sheet as a JSON object. Website is hosted using vercel and front-end was made using react, bu

Damn, that's an S-tier company. I just looked at the job description and the interview process is extremely good as well. I hope multiple options for the tech portion of the interview process will become commonplace soon.

Surprisingly, I don’t think I completely disagree with your point of view. I think if I had the power, I would allow candidates to have multiple ways to interview at a company. Some companies do this already where the tech assessment portio

If there isn’t any info online about their interview process, you can ask the recruiter if they have any algorithm-based interviews in their process. I’ve found probably 1/3 of the recruiters that reach out to me on LinkedIn will end u

I think at 7 YOE, you’re at a very good spot where you have the flexibility of being picky with what types of interviews you can choose to interact with. Especially in this current market where it’s one of the rare times that candidates ha

Tbh, I've thought of just pivoting my idea to just show interview process, and let the users exclude the interview process themselves. Maybe this is the sign to do it!

I think it largely depends on what you consider a nightmare. Luckily, it's a very nice time to be looking for a job, so you have a lot of flexibility for what form of nightmare you're willing to submit yourself to. Another factor

There's a link at the bottom of the page that says "Tired of scrolling? Buy the full database organized in a spreadsheet " and it links to a stripe page that lets a user buy all of the data in a CSV sheet for $49

Ah okay, I see what you mean with that one. I think the way I would approach Workday is categorizing the different companies that use Workday into certain buckets. So the example I gave would be one bucket, and the one you gave would be a d

Hey, posted on your other comment asking for advice, so thought I'd return the favor. I haven't built a scraper for workday yet, but I looked a little bit at a workday board to figure out the process before writing this comment.

Just checked out your website - the "Buy the full database" idea is genius! I'm working on a job board and just assumed that I would never be able to charge the users at all, but your idea circumvents that. Nice work!

I think I've been pretty lucky with the jobs that I've had so far in my career where none of them have required extensive whiteboarding for their interview processes. I completely empathize with you though, as I feel like every ti

Hey, also replied to the parent comment, but would also love feedback on if you'd like the interview process description changed at all for Mainstreet's listing here (I used your comment as the basis for the listings): https:&#x2
