you have to play the game man. it doesnt matter if its a lie. they ask you whats your most desired company to work for then you say that company. play the game

[@MenkIsAMubtadiiDeobandi]

no need to lie, but at the same time no need to say truthful statements. Avoid the question by being ambiguous, saying for example "I am really excited to join X" for this question

[@trentonblyberg4883]

thats a decent idea but no shame in lying for a question like that its the society we live in, they wanna think their company is at the top of the list @@MenkIsAMubtadiiDeobandi

[@Murv]

@@MenkIsAMubtadiiDeobandi You just get some advantages for that company. "I was looking at Amazon, but I think I could grow much more personally and contribute to something new and innovative if I join Veeva." Literally just roleplay ChatGPT

[@b3arwithm3]

How is he supposed to make a choice before the interview even started?

[@SHARMATUSHAR1_]

Yeah, but don't say company name. Any name. Just create an imaginary company with x things (matches with the value of the company you're interviewing) and say that's why I'm interviewing with you because you guys match what I look for in a company. I don't get much interviews so take it with a pinch of salt :( 🧂

[@AMANKUMAR-oh1zt]

It’s a sad truth that lying or deceiving is norm rather than exception in interviews.

[@robertoflores2078]

If you openly express your desire to work for someone else, it's unlikely that anyone will hire you. It makes complete sense; recruiters are seeking individuals who are genuinely passionate about contributing to the company's mission for a long period of time. You're faced with two options: - Deceive: A choice that undermines your integrity, damages your confidence and wont give you professional satisfaction. Even if you're hired, managers and senior staff will eventually pick up on your lack of enthusiasm. - Seek out the perfect match: Look for companies that genuinely inspire you. Small companies / non-mainstream sometimes are actually a much better option.

This is bad advice in this current economic environment where jobs in the software industry are very difficult to come by.

[@robertoflores2078]

@@ichigo2012hollowmask Which part is bad advice?

[@3227998]

Veeva is very inconsistent in my experience. Applied 8 times, met the criterias they posted, talked personally to the recruiter (as per them, anyone meeting minimum requirements are given interviewing opportunity), but still got rejected every time. They don’t respond to emails even though I talked to them personally. Won’t apply again.

[@chickenmaster8934]

Exact same thing happened w me for veeva man all the team interviews went great but the recruiter round they asked me the same question and I wasn’t passionate enough for veeva against my other offer I think

[@Abhishek25081986]

Thanks for highlighting; it recently happened with me for me at a very small startup RADAI , the hiring manager was interested in just bringing for onsite. Everything went well btw they asked leetcode hard; I challenge any engineer on the team to solve in 45 mins. The hiring manager and recruiter were friends and they literally said if you have other offer go ahead. I don’t know how this kind of people live.

[@DrinktheLatte]

It’s more than just worrying you’ll take a different job. There’s also an element of testing whether you have good discretion and tact that I’m not surprised developers would miss. For example, interviewers know when they ask you for weaknesses that you’re not supposed to actually list your biggest weaknesses. If you do, it says you have bad discretion. If you can deflect it into a strength, it shows good discretion. Discretion and tact are important for getting along and doing well in a team.

[@sophiophile]

Yeah, it's a bit of a silly game. My response when people ask who I'm most excited to join is always wherever appears to fill x requirements/desires for a workplace, not a specific name. Once you have had a few roles under your belt, it gets a lot easier. I've interviewed tons of candidates for roles, and if you included your YT channel in your resume, I either would skip the code interview or have fun with it. Even if you messed it up, it's clear you know how to solve these kind of problems. And it would probably be a better use of time to cover other aspects of the interview more in depth.

[@vincentzs5306]

I worked at veeva for a 1 yr internship. Trash company good that they didnt make u suffer

[@Omnia-oc4wt]

why is Microsoft always like this

[@sukapow]

Seems silly trillionair/billionaire companies couldn't hire people often with a degree. Giving a 100k+ salary is couch money to them

[@baalofbabylon3022]

If you're in the interview process, and kill the interview and demonstrate a high level of competency, but you'll be taking a better job if offered, I wouldn't hire you either. It's a waste of time for both of us, and a waste of recourses for the company.

[@def__init]

lol you are part of the problem - no good candidate interviews at only one spot

[@natescode]

😂 I wouldn't hire you either. Sounds like you like slaves not employees. Free market buddy

[@vortexgaming6775]

Dude if I get a better company then I will dip just like you would ditch someone if you got someone better. If you wanna retain someone then give them a great culture and pay them what they are worth and I better 80%-90% of people will stay for long time

[@shreehari2589]

Exactly

[@MenkIsAMubtadiiDeobandi]

Well you harden interviews and reject qualified people left and right, so you cannot expect that soemome wont interview elsewhere
