Thats an interesting comparison I don't know a lot about energy, but it seems to be somewhat a trendy sector meaning from my point of view different kinds of energy get a lot of hype until the next thing. For example nuclear, petroleum, or now solar, wind, coined 'green energy', etc. I know tech has these cycles as well but they typically arent as violent, disruptive (at least from my pov). There is definitely a down turn, but I'm going to optimistically and perhaps naively put the brakes on calling it permanent. Programming and CS are just so embedded in the average persons day to day life, that it's hard to imagine a future where this doesn't remain a stable form of income.

Having been trading renewable energy at that time I can understand what you said. After the drop, oil companies understood that renewables were here forever and that they had to include it in their portfolio if they wanted to last. Renewable production and demands are the most influential parameters of energy price. Big oil and gas companies were already in the energy market, it was therefore easy for them to include it in their trading portfolio. Otherwise with the war in Europe, the prices of energy did go back up and renewables are even more profitable. Actually a lot of big trading firms are opening desks to trade short-term and the old energy companies are starting to struggle to employ because salaries are very attractive in pure trading firms.

I generally perform well at interviews but have ups and downs like everyone. It is just a numbers game. I sent off approximately 1000 job inquiries; this led to around 50 conversations, 10 interview cycles and 2 offers. Be organized and be prepared to juggle multiple interview cycles.

The reason a lot of us in the West can do our job from home is the same reason keeping the job is uncertain since it can be sent overseas. Sure, the new foreign team may not be 100% as competent as the American tech team that got replaced, but for upper management trying to maximize short term profit on their balance sheet, it doesn't matter to them. The complete accessibility of learning tech skills and the fact there is 0 gatekeeping makes this a dead field career wise for most folks who are not in the top 10% of talent.

Exactly. Leetcode interviews test how much free time (and arguably working memory which peaks at age 22). That’s all that it does. You could be a senior or staff engineer who can add more value to a company than the next 50 engineers combined, but it doesn’t matter. If you have a family to feed and mortgage to pay, tough luck. You just didn’t Leetcode hard enough. I’m dreading the idea of eventually getting married and starting a family simply bc of this Leetcode bs. The process is unethical af to say the least. I might be really reaching admittedly, but I think there might even be good grounds to take this issue up to the courts or legislation if advocates with enough technical knowledge can make the case for why these interviews have almost entirely nothing to do with what you do on the job and often even reject highly qualified candidates. Like I wonder if the govt or the military had a full-blown tech sector, if it would bet our national security on whether or not an employee can Leetcode. It’s really that serious. I’m glad that people like you with larger platforms are finally speaking up.

[@jasperclement6320]

I think the reason companies don't give good feedback to candidates they are not interested in is because they don't have any incentive to do that. In fact, it is better for them if they keep a large amount of people in a state of limbo. That way those people become more desperate and they can get better candidates for less money.

[@eightgates-ai]

....OR the eval process for an interviewee from the prespective of an interviewer is a grade scale of recommendation confidence to other interviewers which looks like: no hire, hire with low, hire with medium and hire with high confidence. These qualitative grades are collected and a decision is made which is then communicated through HR. You are right though that there is just not enough incentive to pay interviewers for the extra time to write more than a grade report for each candidate interviewed. Big players can take the intiative but...will not make other follow necessarily because there is just not enough evidence to suggest that companies or interviewing protocols can improve the health of the candidate pool.

Then there is just the normal one, which I am a part of and prefer. It is made up of normal people who have more in their life than just a cat, grinding leet code and working to live. An interview at a place like that asks situational questions and looks to see if your answers actually line up with what you would do in the job and is way more telling as to who is a good or bad hire. I feel that all the elite places have going for them is investor money and prestige. Investors will keep pumping money in and these people keep doing the eldritch rituals and the circle continues.

I find soft technical problems (the brutally hard ones) very good tests of problem solving capability. It shows whether or not they can break the problem down into smaller more manageable chunks and how well they know each of those chunks. But basing hiring prospects on whether or not you can give a correct answer to leetcode 141 in 20 mins is typically not a great test as I've interviewed folks I know are very capable and they fail miserably on those tests. I've done it myself and I've never once passed unless I got lucky and quite literally saw the problem the night before. As stated in the video it's more a filter for how much free time you have. I typically give 2 questions. A "do you know the basics of programming" and then depending on the role a brutally hard field specific problem (not leetcode and hopefully something they haven't seen before aka not something you can LLM in 15 seconds) with full expectation that they won't be able to actually fully solve it. I simply want them to walk through how they would approach solving it. They don't even need to write code. This very very cleanly seperates candidates that know how to approach, solve, and communicate problems and those that don't. This position costs 250k/year. I expect you to be competent. Now if we're talking ~70k then yeah there's a lot more wiggle room.

Where you probably sit down with an Engineer and answer specific tech related questions. This is usually 30 minutes, used to asses your knowledge in a specific domain. 3 - Take home online coding challenge, if the Engineer likes you, you get to the third round, an online 1 hour timed coding challenge. 4 - Live coding challenge. If you do well in the online coding challenge, you will be put through a live 1 hour coding challenge. 5 - Live Behavioral Interview. Once you're done with the live coding challenge, you'll have a 1 hour behavioral round where they dig into your past experience and ask you about how you handled certain situations. 6 - Live System Design Interview. If they like you in the behavioral round, you'll be put into another 1 hour live interview about System Design, where they ask you design a System for any specific part of the product. All in all, some Companies have 4 rounds of interviews, some have 6, especially for more senior roles. So yes, if you choose to pursue Software Engineering as a career, be prepared to go through the grueling and brutal process of job hunting, and 4 to 6 rounds of interview rounds before you can even land a job.

Additionally, if we get the sense that it isn't going anywhere, I keep the interview going for a few more questions and attempt to ask them in a way that helps the candidate on their journey. FWIW our questions mirror our expectations of Senior/Lead developers. i.e. You have an API endpoint producing a report in 30 seconds but desire it to run in fewer than 10 seconds, what are the steps you will take to isolate the issue? This leads us into database territory where we ask about debugging code, debugging an ORM, or running the execution plan in SQL to determine if you're performing seeks or scans.

"boomerpilled" LMAO!

[@ShawnOfTheDead-v6o]

Yep, it is hard.... Too much supply, too high demand, job holders are pickier... they raise the bar. When they were mass hiring, they were less picky, they tool unqualified people for sr staff positions at FAANG

[@johndutton349]

People complaining now about Leetcode are the same that during "good times" were looking down upon candidates who failed their interviews. Karma is a bitch. Hopefully tech bros will learn a lesson in humility, although I doubt...it requires some emotional intelligence, that many are lacking.

[@RaffaelloBertini]

At least you're in US that's still is the best tech market in the world. Italy for e.g. didn't never had a good tech market and it will never had. Plus there are no jobs at all for skilled people. No skilled migrants exists only mostly illegal immigrants and criminals... So still is good if you want my half of the glass is full point of view.
