Being able to get hired at a company is often unrelated to being able to generate viable products.
If you want to get hired don't focus on skills to build useful things. Focus on psychology and charisma.

- SJC_Hacker 1y agoYeah, no. You have to pass tech interviews and generally know your shit
- dogleash 1y agoThe tech interview still doesn’t fall into parent posters categories of “able to generate viable products” or “skills to build useful things” either.
- lan321 1y agoNot too often tbh. You either get dogshit LeetCode or, more often, just a general chat about what you've done and know. There, social skills play a massive role. Make simple projects sound like state-of-the-art, present everything cool that happened as something you were directly involved in, present the 2 most obscure bugs in the project as something you fixed every other Tuesday when you get bored...
- lo_zamoyski 1y agoSocial skills are not a substitute for technical skills, but they are still important. You have to work with people.
- motorest 1y ago> Yeah, no. You have to pass tech interviews and generally know your shit You don't understand. You need to meet the hard skills bar, but there are far more bars than the hard skills one. I think a hefty share of people here fail to understand the fact that there is way more to hiring a candidate than leetcode.
