My final straw was when I was asked to code this problem in 20 mins : https://leetcode.com/problems/reverse-nodes-in-k-group/ Maybe I'm just too stupid.

Not in North America. Some pro admitted that there's way too much cheating for him to get to SMFC or GE.

CSGO is crazy. I have seen silver players doing full executes onto sites. Novas with ridiculous aim. Getting to 95th percentile, which is the top 3 ranks, is extremely hard.

Good for you. I have experience with all 3 of those technologies and it's nearly impossible to even get an interview.

Several years ago, my friend interviewed for a software position at one not so hot company. He gave 13 rounds and then was told no.

Yes, hiring is hard when you reject every candidate who can't breeze through leetcode hards in 20 mins. I wonder how much tech companies paid nytimes to write this bs article. Most of my friends have a masters in CS from a top 50 uni,

Lets play the world's smallest violin for the cheapskate hiring managers of UK.

Waiting for hiring managers to jump in with their tales of woe, about how nobody is able to meet their 'hiring bar' aka 5 rounds of leetcode hard grilling.

Turns out, when you reject everyone, it gets hard to fill a new position. Who woulda thunk it?

And you have 3 coding rounds, so it's 6 problems. Even the slightest problem solving one of those will be a sureshot ding.

The only value I got from them, was knowing what the bar was at the highest level, and how much I need to prepare. So in essence, the only value in failing at such an interview is knowing what to prepare to clear it later.

All I know is, FAANGs can get away with anything, because the supply of engineers is just that much. There's no shortage of engineers who are preparing months and months on end, solving hundreds or thousands of leetcode problems. There

One reason might be that Indian managers are sometimes ass holes to Indian subordinates in particular, maybe because they are aware that Indians are stuck in perpetual H1B status so they can be abused.

As an Indian, I am starting to notice a pattern of terrible Indian managers from all the stories I hear from my friends. I really hope that these stories make up a biased sample.

I've been blindsided like this before too. I didn't have a single 1-1 with my manager for 6 months, and then some negative feedback at the review meeting. It hurt at the time but later on I discovered some other people were f*cked

So either the 50 algo round interviews did not succeed at eliminating false positives or Google has some shit managers.

Gotcha. So the funnel must be having a way steeper dropoff than in the CD era? Far more music being released but getting people to come listen to it live being very hard? I read this article which seems to support that hypothesis : https:&

> They wanted to do a single. Were they musicians? Like many of these people posting cover songs on YT?

by sage76 5y ago
So if the premise is correct, festivals would be making a bigger % of live music revenues?

But if people are willing to spend $600 on tickets to Taylor Swift or Drake or whoever, but not on unknown artists, then obviously there is some brand recognition going on right? Not to mention, some artists can sell out stadiums but most c

by sage76 5y ago
But if that were true, live music revenues would be down, since people wouldn't care much about who is performing.

by sage76 5y ago
Is it possible to quantify these changes in some way? People say musicians always made a pittance, has that substantially changed in the past 20 years? Labels seem to be buying up old catalogs, so there's some truth in that. His point

A 100 applications got me 10 phone calls, and 10 phone calls would lead to 1 onsite. So I just need to apply to a thousand places to get a job. Oh and before anyone jumps in with "are you just applying to FAANGS?", no. Categorical
