Ask HN: How is the job search coming along for people who got laid off?

Not OP but similar level of experience.

I had the leet code once, interviewing for Meta. I didn't prepare because I thought that it was pointless, but I was curious about what it would be like to do it. So, I went through with it and to my shock and awe I managed to do it. The feedback was that I didn't ace it but I did more than well enough for the interviewer.

I didn't get the job though. The last step was a really strange and uncomfortable 1-1 chat with a "very senior employee". This did not go well.

Was that conversation socially, ideologically, or technically uncomfortable?

Ideologically and socially.

I can only describe it as creepy.

I had one of these once. The chief product officer came into the room, stared at me for awhile, then asked "tell me something you've thought really hard about...". It was a classic case of a narcissist exec. Glad I didn't get the job, as they are struggggggggggglin' right now.
