Comment on Ask HN: Anyone ever consider bringing a coding exercise for the interviewers

Comments

I think it's fair to expect interviewee to solve 2 LC mediums in 45 mins given by the candidate. That's the current FAANG expectation. If a bad candidate is too costly for a company, so are a bad company too costly for a candidate.

So glad I've decided not to bother with FAANGs. I can spend two months in my "free time" re-learning algorithms I haven't touched in years (which have no practical bearing on my skills or experience), or I can spend time with my family.

yes, or you can spend it starting a new business.

the current FAANG expectation is solve a 2 hour problem in 2 minutes.
