You can perfectly well believe that thinking that the echelons of academic success is a frictionless gold sieve is just a milquetoast belief. Believing that your beliefs are milquetoast are most often integral to said beliefs.
i am sorry, i really must have messed up in my comment somewhere. on top of not trying to insult these companies by saying they have non-descript names, i was also not trying to imply that they are small.
non-descript, and what i expected of government contractor names. thats all.
is "non-descript" an insult now, or something? where do you read "worse" in my comment?
Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company
General Mills
General Motors
American Telephone and Telegraph Company…
You seem to have it backwards. Companies being called Poopity Scoop is a modern phenomenon.
Companies have otherwise been named like this for centuries.
(i didnt make the judgement you think i made. i simply said they are what i expected: very non-descript)
"Science Applications International Corp"
"Radiation Monitoring Devices Inc"
"Physical Optics Corp"
"Physical Sciences Inc"
"Applied Nanotech Inc"
edit: this is a light hearted comment. i am not saying your favorite non-descriptly-named company is worse than any other name.
Is an AI interview meaningfully different than one of these automated interview systems? A lot of people are assuming that there'd be a human interview absent this AI interview, but it could very easily just be another automated interview - just a less sophisticated one. A company using an AI interview where I'd normally see a Leet-code assignment (e.g a first round coding interview) would not strike me as a bad thing.
Of course if they wanted to the the entire interview loops with AI I'd stay away.
i think it is important to remember that ai interviews arent constrained to the tech industry. many people who have no idea what a 'leet-code' is, and who have always done normal human-human interviews, are now having to navigate being interviewed by ai as well.
Writing it like you did implies that a magical solution exists and we are all maliciously withholding it from you. It does not and we are not.
i did not get that from what they wrote at all.
they sound frustrated. but that does not mean they are frustrated at you specifically.
someone not knowing the definition != misleading title
