Hackerrank is good. As with any OA platform, it has private test cases too but you can see the input for which your code is failing. It's fast and doesn't lag. It's similar to leetcode and also has intellisense to help you type

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Just received a hackerrank test link from a company I'm interviewing for. I haven't tried that platform for solving any coding challenges though. I came across people being pissed about hidden tests and absurd results that are failing their submissions. Role is Frontend, focused on JS. Looking for suggestions to clear this without any issue.

Hi any body here attended ibm's hackerrank coding  round. What type of questions they ask? It's for a front end role

IBM hackerrank test

What is wrong with Hackerrank Tests being so hard?
I was not able to solve all the problems. Also for each problem that I solved hardly a few test cases passed.
Has anyone face similar problem?

Wayfair Hackerrank Test Damn Tough

System Engineer

I am a SDE-2(backend with some react experience) at a mid-sized lastmile logistics company in Hyderabad, India. My tech stack is Ruby on Rails with 3.5+ years of experience. I am a non-cse IIT passout.

I am trying to switch companies but unable to get shortlisted by companies like Flipkart, Swiggy, Atlassian, Adobe, Uber, Myntra, PhonePe, Groww, etc.

I have applied to those companies but while applying I saw that in their JD, they had Java/c++/Golang written.
I talked to some HRs as well and 1 of them said they outright reject people who don't have the tech stack mentioned in their JD.

I was under the impression that tech stack doesn't matter much and people do switch tech stacks around while making switches. Also, I thought that RoR is a niche skill and not many developers are around for that so I would be able to get a good career out of it. But turns that the companies working with Ruby are much less.

I am struggling in this situation and unable to find a way out. Daily I apply to lots of companies but getting demotivated day after day. Please who have been at such position before, how did you tackle this?  Right now I am unable to think clearly and make a decision. What would be the best possible way ahead. These are the options that I have thought of:
1. Switch my tech stack to Java (but again I don't know how to achieve that mid-career, should I go for java certification by Oracle).
2. Move abroad to USA and there I can try moving to companies with Java/RoR freshly.
3. Keep trying with RoR in India and just wait it out till some company agrees for an interview.

Or are there any other options available for me? Really puzzled right now.

Product Manager

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I have been seeing their different types of PM roles job opening for last 1 year now. Are they really not able to close these roles. Each posting has almost 100+ application and still they are not able to close these roles.

Every month of 2 these roles gets reopened and still no body is getting hired.

I have heard somewhere that companies are circling job postings in order to increase LinkedIN followers, is that the case here? 

Any thoughts?

Is Hackerrank bluffing?

Any idea about the cutoff for Apple's Hackerrank test which had two questions related to dynamic programming and the duration was 50 minutes??

Cutt off for Apple Hackerrank Test

I received a call and a subsequent HRank test for this company Lytx. 

There was a DSA problem where: For a given MxN matrix containing only 1s or 0s, we had to identify the minimum number of left or right cyclical shifts required on the row for getting at least 1 column with all ones. 
Sample Input: ['1001,'0101,'0000'] 


I used chat gpt and still couldn't figure out an exact solution, leave aside solving it on my own.

Question for the community: Say they select me for a further round anyways, will the interview as well be this brutal in terms of DSA ? Are these companies expecting programming prodigies or am I just not there in terms of my problem solving journey ?

Hoping for some brutally honest responses.

Gave a hackerrank test for Lytx

Can someone provide a list of companies which immediately sends an assessment/short project to complete to advance to interview rounds? Resume shortlist, referrals are not working for me. There are very few jobs where I have all the relevant tech stacks. May you get good karma for sharing. I will also add as I come across.

Frontend Engineer

I am a 2YOE software engineer, and I wanted to make a switch. Having a grip on DSA but can't rely on it. I am seeing a good number of folks getting into start ups get paid well too. Can someone comment on startups that are paying well but require less grinding. Open for comments and views.
Thanks

High paying companies (startups) who don't ask DSA!

Yeah the title is pretty much the whole story,

Recently i gave a technical plus coding assessment for Accenture (Associate software engineer) and then i came forward with the coding assessment, i kid you not it was the most easiest assessment i have ever seen in my life.

That's maybe because i have improved since college but still it was very easy that i felt something was off (my life is tragic so i get surprised if something good comes up).

So there i was happy to finish the test in 15 mins and 30 minutes left to spare, i even re-checked the code i have written 2-3 times (first time i have re-checked something).

It was all good and i even tested using my own custom inputs. Worked absolutely amazing. But then i clicked the submit button in their "Secure Exam Browser" and after 2 mins i got a error of 504.

I enquired about this from a chatbot and candidate support but all they could say was to wait for the company's response and guess what the response was.

You have been disqualified for not performing well in the coding assessment.

I know in these things I don't have any control over but that what's makes me angry that a error in a company's created browser specially for the exam or assessment gets a error for that particular usage .... Like wow

I would appreciate someone from Accenture to just make this logical for me.

(Let me know if anyone wants to know the questions, i promise you will laugh at it.)

I gave a recruitment assessment in Accenture and at the end of it the submission but got a 504 gate way error and i got disqualified for the next steps.

Hi guys, I am working at an MNC as a front end developer. I am going to complete 4 years soon here which is no less than a nightmare.

I should have switched so long ago but I am still stuck here.  And it's wfh, so I have been feeling so depressed lately having no professional life. 

I gave some interviews last year but couldn't clear and have been feeling demotivated since then.

Please help!!

Found these 2 unique websites to try and practice coding.

Project Euler- Mostly mathematical questions but mind blowing.

Rosalind - Bioinformatics based but helpful for all engineers.

Please share your views and other alternate platforms if aware.

[TL;DR former National quizzing champ dropped out of B. Tech in 2020 during peak of addiction and depression . Got over it and sober in Jan'23, resumed college and completed my B. Tech in Feb'24. Picked up coding again and feel ready for a job now Should I be honest or lie about the gap? Been ghosted my few recruiters whom I was honest with.]

JS developer here. I used to be a decent student, public speaker and one of the best quizzers in the college scene (former National Champ). But I never addressed some traumatic events that took place in my life before I turned 16. My depression took refuge in substance abuse and I abandoned all studies/career prospects during the pandemic. Eventually after 7 years of using, I got clean/sober in Jan'23 and resumed my studies. I earned my degree but on paper it took me 8 years to complete a 4 year B. Tech (2016-24).

Reasonably I get asked about the gap in my academics by hr/recruiters whom I push my CV to. I've been dead honest to them about my struggles with mental health and addiction in the past. And I've been getting ghosted. (It could be because of skill reasons on my part but I'm not even getting a feedback).

Should I not tell recruiters the truth about the gap? Should I leave the addiction bit out? How should I word it? I've never held a real coding job before but been slogging for the last 6 months to get better each day (my github and projects will reflect that). Please help me out with all your valuable suggestions. If you're a tech recruiter let me know how you would perceive my case.

Sorry if this is the wrong board to post in, I'm desperate. Should I be honest about my past struggles of depression/addiction with recruiters while explaining the 4 year gap in my resume?

You don't have to. They are not your friends and you don't know how someone might take it as.  
 You have been brave enough to come out of it but unfortunately not everyone will see it.
