Yeah, been there, done that; wannabe FAANGs are the worst.

At least those are typically honest about what they try to be and give a very clear signal, right at the interview time.

It's much worse when the interview gives you different vibes (and expectations) than the actual day-to-day work.

  • I've had both I've had ones that only tell you what the next interview looks like. Unless you specifically prior it out of the recruiter's hands.

  • The only way to test actual work is to do actual work, should be obvious but here we are.

    • It is obvious, but it’s also very time-consuming. You can’t solve ambiguous open ended problems in a set amount of time while being watched closely.
