My previous job was in a European behemoth, and I really enjoyed their interview process (and later as an interviewer). Even though it was somewhat still based on Algo and DS, but none of them were obscure LC medium-Hard the focus was to un

It depends, In my last big company (>2000 tech + product), engineers would switch teams every 15 to 18 months on average. Ofcourse there were more desirable part of the organization, where switches would be much less.

I like the post, but would like the OP to do a recap after working 12/18 months or 2-3 teams in Uber. 1 month is too short of a time to have meaningful outlook of the current situation.

I'd love to be involved, unfortunately the technology set are not my forte.

Which is my point as well through out the comment thread. Are you sure you are not picking your favorite position in the argument, and reffering the opposing perspective as "not in line with the guidelines"?

Could you point me to exact guideline? I fail to see it in the list. I do however see 'dont be snarky'.

There is no personal attack, I am saying your manner of presenting the point puts OP down, with snark , which many, including myself won't like. You can choose to "win" the argument, or you can choose to learn. > I quote

I am fascinated to see that you do not see anything wrong with sacra-quoting someone-else's words in Public. I am glad that I don't interact with you regularly.

Just curious (and ignorant): How do you assess the success of water harvesting? Do you measure the water table levels periodically?

I won't generalize it. I was the youngest child of an old couple, and I lost my mum about 10 years back, and I am going to lose my father sometime in future, and I have been constantly thinking about it - literally everyday I have time

You asked the wrong question. You should only ask how do they work, and think yourself about the solution. They are business, not software developers.

First link does not mention anything about scripbox taking commissions from the consumers. Second link does not mention scripbox at all!

> they take 0.5-1.5% commission on that investment every year as long as 10000 remains invested and to whatever that amount grows to. So you are paying compounding commissions. Most Indians aren't aware of this. This is a massive cl

Do you plan to include python in your roadmap in near future (I can possibly help if you don't have in-house expertise on it ;), or choosing to avoid competing with Tensorflow? I suspect Python would be fairly popular amongst companies

I like this. Interviews are supposed to be proxy of how successful / valuable the team member is going to be on the job. Since the person is already contributing, makes sense to cut out the "algorithmic quiz". Too bad I am no
