What is your preferred way to hire developers? Do you administer algorithm questions, give a take home exercise, do peer programming, or something completely different?And how would you hire if you were part of a team in a Big Tech company versus for an indie project or startup?
I recently bought a new home. I didn't consider the stress of having to figure out how to change the locks, do floor work in the kitchen, figure out how to get trees in the backyard trimmed, etc. It's a lot to juggle, and quite overwhelming.How do you figure this stuff out? Do you just go on Google or Yelp and search "home trimming services in the area"?
Right now it's a Django application that I've been working on for a few weeks now. I hope to have a MVP ready that I could present here soon.
Whether you're looking to buy your first / a new home, or interested in buying real estate, what has been your biggest hurdle?Do you struggle with the decision financially? Do you feel unprepared? Are real estate agents not helpful enough?
Do you feel your main issue then is onboarding onto companies not willing to provide training but you're eager to put the time in to learn somehow?
Regarding your use of your personal network and talking directly to companies, do you feel this approach has always worked well for you or do you feel like something is still missing whenever you search/apply for new roles?
I'm working on a solution for connecting engineers with their best fit roles at startups (or other tech companies) but I want to know what your biggest challenges are when looking for a new job and interviewing. Is it: - Finding a job? - Finding a job you're passionate about? - Getting invited to the interview? - Passing the interview? - Not being satisfied with your role/job responsibilities...
