Where I live, programmers tend to be book smart and very arrogant about it. Plenty of people from my college and department genuinely think they are smarter than everyone else. This blinds them to the kind of street smarts required to under

I have to ask, is it normal to join a startup that claims AI powers their main product, and then join the company only to realize they aren't using anything remotely resembling AI? Like expecting CNNs and vision algorithms, and finding

Well the pattern does exist, that's why my brain is now fearful of new projects etc. Hell, I am even afraid of giving interviews. I have politely ended interviews early when I realized I was bombing. I couldn't bear watching mysel

India. I get recruiter calls too, but the interviews have become batshit now. I would need to prepare for a year full time to clear these.

I don't know about others. I know a few doctors, like a friend who is an emergency physician. He was hired after 1 hour long interview, and he could start next monday.

If you are a young recent grad with FAANG experience on your resume, you will be fine. Otherwise, everyone I know struggles. Interviews are now involving more and more esoteric questions about things that aren't even on my resume, and
