Yeah but that’s 2-3 years of lost earnings and respect.

Meanwhile I applied to 40-50, did interviews for 20 odd companies, 8 onsites and got only 2 offers. It doesn’t matter as long as the company you got into was good lol (it wasn’t like that for me)

I only took 1 of those in my entire undergrad career...

Amazon doesn’t pay much.

People know the hiring bar is low and the perks don’t exist and the TC is low etc.

Is Amazon “making it”?

I’m not there. I think I’m not the smartest guy around but I want to achieve my dreams and achieve upward class mobility. But today I’m stuck.

I failed a FB loop a few weeks ago despite studying really fucking hard and doing pretty damn well on the questions I got. I’m afraid I’ll be stuck at Amazon, which nobody is actually impressed by, if I’m lucky and not PIPed out.

Same, except I had an extra phone screen because I fucked up the logic portion (guess I'm dumb). Still got the job, and then finished the internship, then got a return offer.

Probably SDE. It's a similar process for everyone. There's a lot of handwringing about it because it basically lets Googlers and Facebookers shit on our employee quality now (and you know they think we're inferior).

If I could pass a Facebook interview I could finally be happy. I envy you.

It's a big company so I applied online. Come to think of it all the companies I've accepted were the same way, though I've gotten interviews by directly reaching out to recruiters.

No this is how the world works.

.9ghz in 2018!? What machine is this?

Because they are clearly superior humans than me.

They also seem more attractive and less self loathing. I’d wager they do.

Are we reading the same Blind Most of them are Indians mad that they can’t get laid (typical for Seattle and Amazon-tier Indians). I wonder if the Indians at Google Fremont have that problem..

I'm not on board with 50% of this but damnit if you're pushing me to be on board with all of it.

Who the fuck still has a pension? Private sector employees and many public sector employees sure don't.

Specifically AWS Lambda is. In terms of performance and flexibility AWS and GCP are far far behind.

From an software engineering perspective it’s a travesty to include Apple and not Amazon.

>I presume it's Google and Facebook's extremely high hiring bar that you're attributing to elitism? Yes and no. It's that I'm inferior and stupid for being at a lower tier company than at Facebook or Google. I ca

It may not have been the intention but I'm honestly aghast at the utter elitism coming out of Google and Facebook. I get that you are "superior humans" that are plucked from top institutions making 25% more than me at Amazon,

>They just told you how to solve it. But I can't see how they approach to get the answer. I think that part is the most interesting and valuable part for non-talent like me. I ran into this too when I was preparing for a loop, espec

I know a lot of people at top companies. All of them have an innate ability to do these algorithm problems better than people like me - they can crank out solutions quickly and get offers almost everywhere they try.

I remember that video. I thought it was hilarious because the question was so easy anybody that has done leetcode would be able to identify it and code it in like 5 minutes. I've gotten it at 4 different companies!

I'm really glad someone is seeing this for what it is. Too often people claim that you should go for the naive solution first, and then iterate, when that really doesn't work in the dynamics of a normal interview.
