They won’t be happy and satisfied until everyone is stuck working 9 to 5 again in the office.

I'm having a final round presentation with a big tech company (not FAANG) in the next week and a half.

Funny the company I'm talking to is acquiring another company I used to work for and where my previous manager forced me to resign. It would be a big F U if I get hired by the company acquiring my older company.

I'm not even upset, but in my previous role I was hired as a Solutions Architect specializing in one product then they had me go in the more general sales engineer path and selling more security (I was more in site reliability engineering and big data) I just didn't feel like I was set up for success but I've learned a lot now and feel confident with the current prospects I'm talking to.

Err. These multiple round interviews are a killer.

Signs up to Leetcode :(
this is why having a solid network is the GOAT strategy. You skip the line and only have those "get to know thw team" type of interviews where you just babble about your experience and ask them questions about their product and thats it, you're in if they like you.

the rest of us get beaten to a pulp, round after round till there's no more confidence left to apply. :mjcry:

Ours use to be like that until we got a new CIO who came from Facebook.

I applied for an internal position and the HR person was telling me they completely changed the interview process.

It used to be " here's what I did etc".

Now I have to go through 3 rounds.

1.) System Design( Create diagrams blah blah )
2.) Programming problems while sharing my screen
3.) Personality test.

Come on man...
