Sounds about expected even in current conditions. If you are fairly skilled programmer, somewhat senior. These layoffs don’t matter. I assure you that you won’t die of hunger if you quit/are laid off. Plenty of demand for non-coasters.
Joking, but this also a true story.

Exactly. I was fired from a tech job a decade ago and I found plenty of food to eat in the dumpsters and it wasn't hard to get enough day labor cleaning up puke that I was able to buy a tarp to sleep under. Joking, but this also a true story.
Thanks for sharing. Congrats to the author. 11 offers is amazing I doubt one can get so many in today's market but the good thing is you dont really need so many, 1 good one is enough. Ideally you have 2 so that you can nagotiate more easily.
Granted I've only attempted the Amazon interview of the FAANGs, but good job to the OP for cracking the FAANG interviews with only 60ish leetcode questions. I'm at 150 and have yet to crack any.

Yeah if you're good and have the resume/experience to back it up, you won't have any issues getting great offers even in this market. Great candidates are not easy to find in any market.
This is great advice! I interviewed in 2022 and found that I performed significantly better when well rested. I also found that eating healthy helped during the post-lunch interviews.
Thanks for sharing your experience.

That first impression (and how you tackled it) of system design interviews makes me question their usefulness. Like, how good of a signal can companies really be getting if it's too different from real world systems? Feels like an artificial wall too - many companies don't approach the scale where this stuff matters, so getting that experience is hard.

I wonder, if somebody has not a happy story, but an ongoing story of failures in job search - would he write such a story? Or we hear only from those who succeeds? Or, assuming that everybody eventually succeeds, those who take years to find a position won't write about it, as they are too exhausted or embarrassed?
