Assumes timed coding exercise is in Python. Opens exercise to realize it’s in JS. Tries to learn JS for 30 minutes. Sends in homework, welp onto the next one

next time just do it in python and then feed it through a python-to-js transpiler (i've never heard of this but i am sure that js people have made it because of course they have)

lol, I ended up submitting incomplete JS and then just Python separately. it’s all good not my first pick or anything. It reminded me of one of my favorite YOSPOS quotes: “I find it helps to laugh when faced with the kind of situation that might have been in a first draft of Brazil but got cut for being too obviously stupid.”

I had a coding interview a couple days ago, I got on the zoom and they asked me to share screen and open a terminal to solve it, I thought there'd at least be a hackerrank or something I don't have an IDE or anything set up on the laptop I was interviewing from and I had to fix my python install at the very beginning, still waiting to hear back if the turd I crapped out for them under those conditions was satisfactory

Private Speech posted:but we don't hire better than median, we hire the top 30% at least! There are some really good self taught problem solvers who have no problem googling themselves into a workable answer. People like that do great on the build django site and glue apis together projects that make up like 75% or the industry and they're not expensive. <$100K at the eng 2/2.5 level in tier 2/3 metros. Resume usually looks something like: - personal project concurrent with non-computer-touching job - entry level touching job 0.8-2 years - BS degree in thing other than EE/CS Fake edit: whether they top 30% or not idk. They dont freeze up on errors tho and can glance at googles barely relevant results and pick the correct github issue link or stack overflow link.

one would generally expect an online test via leetcode or hackerrank though there are a lot of different ways of doing things. I had a “take home” test where they had me download a Ubuntu VM with the proper dev environment already setup. but the embedded world is weird

we used to do in-person interviews with the interviewer coding on their personal laptop with the idea being that they're familiar with it and wouldn't have to learn some new environment during the interview. we actually bothered to tell them that in advance and offered the use of a loaner laptop when needed, though, rather than going "hope you happened to bring a laptop with a working dev environment!"

I did an interview where they handed me a Mac laptop to code on and were clearly instructed that they weren't supposed to give me any help, because I had to ask multiple times what various keyboard shortcuts were before they answered. They also forgot to roll back the previous candidate's code and didn't laugh when I tried to joke with them about it.

did some googling and it seems to be well handled in most cases, though as always the bias for visible/obvious disabilities over less visible disabilities means accommodations for the latter seem to be harder to provide or request sometimes anyway it seems most people disclose ahead of time to make sure accommodations are provided, like if you're blind they'll let you use your screen reading software i know this probably seems obvious but i haven't interviewed anyone with obvious disabilities that impacted their ability to do a technical interview vOv

The one maybe exception to this could be fair credit reporting act claims where due to incorrect information on a credit report an employee gets terminated or an offer withdrawn. If you didnt actually get the job and don't know that you would have and then went and got another job soon after because the economy is good, what are the damages? Engineers are very rarely discrimination or wage & hour plaintiffs as well. Like lawsuits against employers per capita (not counting workers comp/insurance related) is inversely correlated with "requires a BS degree for the job".

FMguru posted:start with the op to the bfc negotiation thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3768531 getting to yes by fisher is very good, IMO for employees seeking employment fisher's beyond reason is even better. There's certainly overlap in the concepts, but understanding the position you're in as a candidate and the position the interviewer is in as only part of a system that may limit their ability to make creative deals, will give candidates better ideas about how to negotiate. i.e. the social/emotional aspects of the interviewing process are more important than the tactical advice in getting to yes. 100% worth reading both though, best of both worlds.
