Read previewThis as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Hemant Pandey, a senior software engineer at Meta in California. Over the last seven years, I have interned at Amazon and worked full time at Tesla, SAP, Salesforce, and Meta. Over time, I have solidified an interview preparation strategy that has worked for me and one I share with juniors I mentor. This is what 24 hours before a Big Tech interview look like for me:AdvertisementRead up on past interview questionsI have found that Big Tech interviews largely follow a set pattern of processes.

☆ Tech interviewers can't tell when candidates use ChatGPT to cheat in coding rounds, experiment finds
  + stars: | 2024-02-21 | by ( Kali Hays | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
One possibility is the coding rounds of the typical tech job interview, where candidates are prompted by interviewers to solve technical problems. So, job candidates can easily use something like ChatGPT to effectively cheat their way to fast solutions, according to a recent experiment conducted by interviewing.io, a popular platform for mock tech interviews and industry recruiting. When coding problems were taken verbatim from LeetCode, job candidates using ChatGPT solved correctly 73% of the time, interviewing.io found. That’s far worse than how tech job candidates fare on their own. Relying on their own abilities, interviewing.io found that job candidates passed coding rounds of interviews 53% of the time.

The tech job market got tougherTo add insult to injury, keeping a job in tech isn’t the only thing that’s more difficult. Aline Lerner, a former tech engineer and founder of interviewing.io, a site for tech recruiting and mock interviewing for tech job seekers, said it's now much more difficult to land a tech job, particularly at a high-profile or Big Tech company. “Anecdotally, I’d say it’s the hardest it’s been to get a tech job since probably the dot-com bust," Lerner said.

☆ I quit Amazon after 2 months. The job was as stressful as I'd read about.

He said deadlines at Amazon were aggressive and that he felt he wasn't allowed to ask questions. We didn't have a lot of money, and I always believed that I needed a high-paying job to support my family. I was really happy I landed a job at Amazon right after graduation and felt a huge weight lift from my shoulders. I just wish I had known sooner that what happened while I was at Amazon didn't define me or my capabilities.

☆ 'Crazy stuff is happening at my work': Silicon Valley engineers are really freaking out right now

Silicon Valley, perhaps even more than the rest of corporate America, has long been engaged in a two-sided battle over the pursuit of happiness. In the Silicon Valley that emerges on Blind, the engineers who strive for work-life balance are just as burned out as the late-night grinders. But Silicon Valley has always overindexed for Optimizers. If this is Silicon Valley today, nobody's happy, and everybody's burnt. Stereotypically, Silicon Valley engineers are grinders.
