Jane Street – Our software engineering interviews are changing (a little)

I heard similar arguments about the SAT as a college entrance requirement. Lots of universities dropped it, including MIT. They found out that SAT scores really did correlate strongly with success at the university, and reinstituted the requirement.

It also reminds me of the "EE"s who carry around a card in their wallet with:

    V = IR
    I = V/R
    R = V/I

written on it.

All the FAANG companies do leetcode testing, so you can write off the high paying jobs.

I wouldn't want to work in that kind of environment anyway. All that politics and bullshit <shudder>.

I guess that staying as a valid test then - if a company uses leetcode for its interviews, it's probably somewhere I don't want to work.
