Do you also work on pure Ada projects, for various clients?

I believe it is about weeding out mid-high 6-figure (and sometimes 7-figure) staff. It is understandable that 5-figure (underpaid) European devs are not affected.

So 166k per annum per person. As for the retailation, a simple question: did they ruin anyone's life? If no, the system shouldn't ruin their lives either.

Cut your losses by burning the company reputation? Such behavior is nothing but an invitation for a "warm" Glassdoor review. On the contrary, when I was an interviewer, we had a policy of giving a detailed technical reasoning for

> Unfortunately I don't have any way around the traditional Google hiring processes. I wonder if celebs (e.g. Gosling, Rossum, Thompson, Pike) had to go through this leetcode bs as well :)

Is the pay Portugal-grade? i.e. does it make sense to apply e.g. from California?

Can these be encoded in the score itself? If no, maybe we should improve the score encoding?

You mentioned that it is not about Competitive Programming/leetcode stuff but a daily real world work. So how do you prepare? Just continue doing your daily work?

In my several years of experience of participating in retrospectives at two different companies/teams - it's a total waste of time. Just one of the ceremonies for keeping "Agile Coaches" employed.

Ecosia is a bing front-end as well. I wonder if they a similar deal.

Unfortunately, at many places, going into management is considered as career advancement instead of parallel path, and this is reflect in terms of compensation as well (a huge mistake).

Relocating for an employment - so old school :)

Again, a common knowledge, including the above mentioned Wikipedia article. Good for you if that was not your experience :)

That's the point, CP != CS (Computer Science). It is a separate discipline/subject with its own trivia knowledge & tricks. CP uses Computer Science the same way as e.g. Physics or Biology use Math. And CP problems are used in

Note that we are talking about a particular interview process which uses CP (Competitive Programming). This is common at FAG (Lets exclude Netflix since as I've heard they don't do it) and at companies that copycat the process. Of

Leetcode grinding is suggested as necessary by everyone, including recruiters (in-house or 3rd party), hiring managers, prospective colleagues. You can see comments from devs at FANGs even in this thread.

There were already user-friendly cloud storage services available long before, e.g. integrating as virtual drive on Windows. I believe the only thing Dropbox did differently was marketing.

Many products would have been better off by declaring them as feature complete and only continuing fixing bugs. Unfortunately, this happens rarely due to misalignment with employment incentives I believe.

Mid/high six-figures (sometimes low seven ones as well).

What do you think about missing on people who are not desperate enough to go through such processes?
