also I kinda like the presentation as interview idea. at least then you can mostly control the interview instead of watching them type notes into their structured candidate feedback template on confluence

Hi dip poo poo,

Thank you for putting up with my corny joke. I hope that brought a little laughter to your day. I am a Technical Leadership Recruiter within Amazon and came across your profile in my network. I partner with engineering teams across Amazon’s Senior Engineering community and we are seeking leaders to own and author software design and architecture, while mentoring and developing other talented engineers in our Detroit office.

It would be great to connect and find out more about you and your work and career goals. We offer full relocation support from anywhere in the U.S. and Canada. Would you be interested in engineering leadership opportunities at Amazon’s Detroit office?

Looking forward to hearing back from you.

I'm a weird case, I don't have a degree (failed math major) but I feel like I got way more solid theory compared to my peers. Mostly from doing online courses like algorithms on coursera. But those rarely helped me much in practice other than boosting my ego.

And then I think about the 3 best programmers that I worked with and they don't have a degree or really much of a solid background. And they're still way above me and anyone else I met. That's my anecdotal experience and why I'm behind forums user Shadowhawk on this, thanks for reading.

well are they all white guys or not

Perhaps you have dodged the bullet by... not getting a job that requires C++?

I submitted my piss to get mad figs and I’d do it again

I was sure I’d fail so I told my new employer I was taking two weeks vacation and couldn’t piss until after and they were like yeah whatever

I have an extreme fear of timed coding exercises and I think I have to do one for a new job I really want. stayed up all night trying to solve some dumb simple array exercise in constant space and I just choke and choke and choke gently caress me
