Hard not to "blame the referee" when the supreme judge-kings in charge of the electronic voting system are openly partisan to say the least.
In fact, the issue of fair elections in Brazil has become background noise because of these so called "referees". They have usurped so much power elections are just theater at this point. It doesn't matter who wins because in the end it's the judge-kings who rule the country. There's no point in even discussing the matter until their fall.
Hey Jared, we spoke when I interviewed about 10 months ago. Since then I became a user and actually used some features as inspiration for an app in the fitness space I was working on.
I just reapplied but wanted to double check if 10 months is past the cooldown policy? Regardless, still a big fan!
Thanks for the kind words, and glad to hear you drew inspiration from us for the fitness app! Since interviewing is a big time investment on both sides, we generally recommend reapplying once there's been a material change in experience or skill that makes it very clear you'd be an especially strong fit. We'll take a look at your application and follow up!
They seem pretty efficient to me. I got the first round of interviews scheduled the same day I applied.
I'm used to being on the other side of the table, and in my experience, as long as you have strong relevant experience for what they need and put effort into the application, companies tend to move quite fast.
I also only apply to a few companies for positions that I find interesting and where I know I can bring value. My response rate has always been 90%+, even when I don’t know anybody there or have a referral.
Meanwhile, most people nowadays apply to anything with 'software' in the title and are surprised when they don’t hear back.
I'm curious what your resume looks like and how you articulate the value you provide. I've used the same approach but recently haven't been as successful as I have in the past.
As far as technical interviews go, are there any leetcode style questions involved, or are they more practical, like the take-home assessment you mentioned?
No leetcode. One interview during the onsite is vaguely algorithmic, but the process is designed to feel relatively close to the work you'd do on the job. For example, our web take-home assessment includes tasks like reviewing a colleague's pull request and tracking down a bug in response to a customer support ticket.
