   I came across this before. wish it's an accepted format on job portals. A challenge I see is -- resumes change wildly by industry. a tech resume is totallly different from an actor's resume.

   that still doesn't really explain why big companies have not initiated a RFC for resume format. they only have to come up with an RFC and just ask everyone to follow. The cost of producing such an RFC is so small. guaranteed reduction

   > educing someone's life history to a list of educational institutions and employers feels robotic even for a software developer's mindset. that's a flawed view imo. there could be plenty of catch-all sections to maintain

    ewwww Sounds like they want to rationalize firings in a way the blame is on the engineers.

    let me guess you are under 30? when someone has a spouse, two kids, a mortgage to pay, a whole bunch of daily chores to finish, pressure from manager to finish under tight deadlines, a simple depth first search looks like a very big problem

    Perhaps a bad suggestion. competitive programming can be really fun, addictive and great learning experience, and incredibly frustrating and takes lot of time (> 3 hours/day for 1 year to do it the right way). If you want to learn a

    Hard to believe. Actually I am surprised companies even asks such a simple question anymore. When was that? I have done several LC easy and mediums, have done internships and published papers and didn't even make it to phone screen at

    A simple for-loop? that's ridiculous. If that's really the case I wonder the screening abilities of recruiters more than candidates.

    I guess companies do very tough interview to justify high salary. Let's say Google and some-small-shop have same interview for exactly same job position and responsibilities, and only one of them pays really well.. I am quite curious h

    Yeah, tooling is the heavy work. Most of the times a simple KNN model baseline is good enough starting point. People are impatient to do math, they'd rather want to try 100 things at once, see what works. So I am not surprised they don

    30 years ago software engineering was probably a few bunch of technical skills. Now it's a very big spectrum, no individual knows everything. Someone applying to search quality team at Google that works on search algorithm really want

    I'm saying if I have to choose between two bad ideas: LeetCode history or a couple of coding rounds. Which one would be better predictor?
29. 89.▲
    by tomcat27 6y ago

    LeetCode practice history compared to one or two interview coding rounds is a much smoother prediction of candidate's ability. Right now coding interviews are somewhat a gamble.

    I have not written C in years but remember by heart their coding style in the book. The strcpy(s, t) they present is around 2 lines code looking something like this expression: ` s++= t++`. (please don't code review here.. haha). At th
