Don’t be hyperbolic. It’s just a month of prep. No one is advocating for child neglect.

This is for a job that pays 450k+. Do you really think you’re gonna be handed it with no effort?

If you want a mediocre job, then there’s plenty of companies you can get hired at with little effort and you’re welcome to work at those companies. Just don’t be surprised if you make 1/3 to 1/4th the comp.

Because it’s a job that pays that amount, I kind of expect their hiring process to select for the best. But it doesn’t. It selects for those with an abundance of time on their hands.
