I used that one once. It was great! Pricy but if you have an actual interview with a big tech company it's worth it if you can afford it.

Difference with trading though is someone is a great trader at one hedge fund they can jump ship pretty easy without hurdles. In fact they compete to get good traders. For Software…

Find a different job in a better industry. No other profession tolerates this horrible style of interview.

One problem though (and I've interviewed at FAANG companies and similar process) is now they really expect you to memorize at lot because other developers are doing it as well. On …

Thanks!

Question for Atlassian Customers on this site. Does this event make you re-consider using their software? Also, I'm not clear if the site was down for all customers for a few days …

On the topic of 'leet hacking skillz' I personally find it strange that so many Silicon Valley companies only care abut leetcode for the interview process. You can be a security ex…

Could have made 500% on PUTS today alone though.

Congrats! If you bought PUTS at market open today (or yesterday) you could have made 500% today. I'm excited about this and in the future will be checking stock price first thing w…
