Ask HN: Moving from a support role to engineering?

Thank you so much for replying! I actually have considered triplebyte, but I've read some mixed reviews about their coding challenges and interview process. The main thing that has discouraged me from applying is the 4-month wait to re-apply if you fail your first interview https://triplebyte.com/candidate_faq#scroll-link-14. Because of this constraint, I'm not sure my time is better spent working on a personal project that I can showcase my skills to a potential employer or study/practice to pass triplebyte's coding challenge.

Have you or someone you know used triplebyte? If so, what are your thoughts in their interviewing process?

Yes, I went through their process. I was impressed by their extreme focus on finding a good fit, and truly had a lot of fun interviewing with them.

I would just do the online screen without any preparation. So what if you have to wait 4 months to try again? There are plenty of other options in the mean time.
