@sapphire @JulioReich @deprecated_ii literally there are a lot of bugs whose goal is to get hired at a big name tech company because if you have a big name tech company on your resume, even if you were a SRE or similar just rebooting the damn servers when they crashed based on a checklist, you've got that shit on your resume.

The problem is, to get into these companies (Google in particular) you also need to be at a university notorious for a high minority population (like a "black" university), H1B, or from a elite university. Then they'll softball ya. At least that's how it was before Musk Twitter sent the signal that you can actually fire dead weight now followed by the economy going to shit. Fun fact: Google's best employees were from mid-tier universities who could pass the harder questions.

I've heard of people getting slick interviews at Google and MS for going to the right university.
