This is why I would never work for a startup. "Many hats" is codeword for we need someone we can take advantage of doing work equivalent to multiple roles while paying them like they only work one.
And that's how you lose your chance to be an unique and independent personality. You will never be recognised for your work again and everything you work on will go to the credits of a nicely paying company.
Applied for a job at UPS a while back and at least they were kind enough to reject me with an email. Small companies, It’s not hard to email 5 words to candidates “The position has been filled”
It is pretty lame how companies can make you do free work for them, make you sit through a cringy interview answering their stupid brainteasers, and then ghost you.
If a company asks you to make a project for them before you are hired, I would tell them to fuck off! They should either ask you to write code for a generic problem or ask you to read through code and describe what the code does.
“I’ll try to remember something I learned from one of Joma’s videos during the final” My mind during the final: “Baby cow, Baby cow, Baby cow, Mama cow”
NEVER EVER send code of the interview project to a potential employer, unless it's snippets of code u done before... Some companies actually take your code and ghost u, if they are that interested in seeing your solution ask for a zoom call and u can demonstrate it, if they get bitchy about it, u ghost them and watch how quickly they wanna get back to u as u probably can do the code
The ghosting by employers... It really shows a lack of maturity. Seems pretty rampant in the industry, also. Companies don't have to go into specifics and incur liability, but getting back to candidates in a timely manner should happen every time.
Leaving him without the respond was disrespectful. This shows how the company treats people, makes me sick of them. It`s not all about money, afterall don`t forget the courtesy.
Companies are looking to hire stacks of employees. Yes, they could respond on every one of them, and that is often proven to do more harm than good. People often start asking questions "Why wasn't I hired" and demand the company to hire them or even sue them because they think they didnt hire them for other unfair reasons. By just ghosting them, its just less effort from every side. Dont look it from just one perspective. A company is made out of humans too and they too have their concerns and they also like to look nice, but sometimes being nice is just not worth the shit you'll eat.
@@longphan9194yeuem hehe. Nah I've been ghosted from a dozens of companies too :P Its frustrating, but nothing is perfect. Everything comes with a cost.
@@exapsy My main studies are psychology. And I once read a book writen by a couple of US doctors, The book was titlted Snakes in Suits : When Psychopaths go to work. Its a book about corporate mentality. Nowadays that is called sociopathy by researchers and ghosting is a prevalent method/tactic they used by sociopaths with the rise of internet communications and social media. I am not in the mood for details but you guys are better off not working for people like these.
@@hungrygrimalkin5610 I can agree. But since you're studying psychology you must also know that sociopathy is not something all people dont have. We all have it at times, we all behave sociopathically especially at people we dont know. Best example is TV Shows that show non-actors and people start wishing their death without them even trying to empathize with them and see how they feel. Another example is politicians or rich people. We never try to empathize with rich people or with politicians, and we always wish the worst for them. Or the worst to people we hate. This is by definition sociopathic behavior. It's not something new, its not a mental disorder that only "dangerous people" have. We're all dangerous in our own ways. Just saying "they're sociopathic stay away from them" is a dangerous unprofessional way to behave as a student in psychology who'll sometime become a professional. It's not a logical argument, it's an emotional one.
It definitely seems like they were fishing for free sample implementations of their basic framework to see different technical directions it could go. Cool approach, but you should be paying people to do that. Asking people to do it for free leads me to to believe you might treat future ethical matters with a total lack of ethics. This is a red flag especially in a machine learning company outsourcing labor, lots of ethical areas where you can violate privacy and take advantage of workers. The founders have shown questionable ethics from the start, so I certainly won't be choosing their service now.
Joma you were solicited for work,it wasn’t a test,this happens a lot,the point of tests is to asses someone’s ability,the reason they said in the beginning not to share with anyone is so that they don’t get caught publicly with this.Dont beat up yourself over it.It was messed up of them.
I feel identified with you. I had an interview that they sent me to carry out a project, the application works well and passed the tests, I never had a feedback and they didn't say thank you, that experience taught me not to carry out more projects for startups or any small business anymore. joma you are awesome guy, thank you for sharing your experience
yeah, never do work like this for an interview . just shows whoever you are going to work for doesn't know what they're doing if they think this is a good way to hire people
"As a startup, we look for someone who can wear many hats." Ah yeah so that means we are cheap and lazy, you have to do everything but we won't pay you more money for it.

Now this is the content for which I subscribed. You are a fantastic software engineer. This episode truly has the charm to bring your views closer to you. Keep up the good work, Joma!
Reminds me of an interview I had with a company that was in downtown San Francisco. They said we are working with the public, and they are not out there for profit first. Basically trying to justify paying their employees less (I saw the starting salary..about 30% than others were giving for a similar starting position). So they don't want to give competitive salaries, but they want their building to be in San Francisco, and their employees to live in the bay area. Talk about disaster; they probably have to rehire all the time because I'm sure people aren't staying with them for very long.
They probably wanted to set you as an unpaid intern... usually when someone presents two options and one is clearly the unfavorable one that is the option they wanted you to take.

I interviewed for a company named Egen Solutions. They gave huge home assignment to complete, the solution was not available on internet. The work was novel, took me almost 6 to 8 hrs to complete. Recruiter told - the senior engineer liked the code and gave great feedback. Then 45 minutes round which went well. I was able to solve all problems. Later they say they moved with other candidate. The worst part was the recruiter send the assignment on email. It looks like they put fake positions and ask the candidates to complete the assignment which they send on email. That way they get work done for free. How I know it was fake position that position was showing open after 3 months when they told me they moved with other candidate.
They probably already decided to ghost you when you said you were looking for a full-time position, When they say cringey shit like "Someone who can wear many hats" what they really mean is "We are looking for young talent who we can underpay and exploit" or in a single word "intern".
Well, I've got a dozen of insincere answers from companies I've applied when I was younger and only some have actually answered sincerely in a follow-up when I specifically asked for more feedback. Those kind of answers may hurt but they are worth a lot.
I find it rude when a potential employer does not give the result of the interview and you have to guess from the silence. It would take them a minute to just write a short email saying the application was not successful. Even more so after you spent some time on their assignment.
Thank you Joma for introducing me to Blackpink 3 weeks ago. When I first saw the picture at 4:44 I immediately noticed Jisoo and was blown away by her beauty.
I always laughed when interviewer gave me some task to do at home ;) These times the recuritment tasks requires many hours to resolve due to their complexity. No one pays you for your time plus even if done correctly, you do not have quarantee to get hired. I got situation once when the company gave me feedback "the solution does not satisfy us". When I tried to get more detailed explanation they simply cut off the entire communcation ^^. I consulted that task with a few friends including senior software engineers and each of them said that task definately had been done correctly. Neverthless tasks do not show the value of candidate.
As someone who's part of the other side of the interview process, I've read dozens of homework assignments that took anywhere from 2h to 2-3 days. The thing is that my company does the real interview only after the home assignment is reviewed, which is super weird. I protested many times to this approach, because it asks candidates for a lot of their time, when it's not yet clear that they'd be even a close fit to the role. I've reviewed pretty shit code that seems to have been written by someone who did literally their 2nd project ever, and we require someone who can program robots from scratch. But all my protests fell on deaf ears, and I got snarky attitudes like "if the candidate is serious about joining, they'll spend that time, it's a filter". I'm like WTF do you think you are? There are a myriad of companies out there. This entitlement is killing me. Anyway, I'm lining up for a few offers elsewhere, so I'll probably quit within the next few days. It has been quite a toxic experience, and a good learning experience - learning what things are actually red flags to watch out for next time.
@@napillnik I hope you found better place now Donnie. As a job-seeker, it is very frustrating too have to complete test left alone test that only had 24 hours to complete or second test "just to make sure" from the bigger boss. And I'm stuck in that situation now. But knowing that some recruiter do care like you, make me feel better!

How many lines of code was that project of yours? I’m not a frontend guy myself so it looked fairly advanced, seemed significant for a take-home interview assignment
I love your humbleness!!! (to the extent that you're making it public being rejected by a startup and making some fun out of it) man... if you got rejected i have no chance at all xD .. you're great n_n
During an interview for a HUGE entertainment company (doing movies and video games...), at some point I was climbing with interviewers in hierarchy... And then the studio director asked me "What are you good for?". I couldn't resist and answered "Doing jokes?" He smiled... But I didn't get the job :).
Isn't the answer to the question to use a min heap and max heap combination with the streaming median being the heap with +1 node or average them both if they're both the same size?
Funny thing, i was rejected from a full time interview too, not gonna lie was a big hit to my confidence, then got freelancing jobs which pays me double the amount in lesser and flexible time.
I think what they wanted was to you build an object detection model using OpenCV or YOLO, which automatically draws boxes around cows or anything else in picture.
Ghosting is the norm nowadays. I am surprised if companies actually properly reply to / reject applicants. HR in the US is completely broken. Probably the worst I've seen in any country.
that sounds like one of the classic question out of 'cracking the code interview' book. Don't remember it exactly how to do it, probably need something like a min-heap and a max-heap. It has been quite a while since I had to practice any interview questions. Feeling pretty rusty

Hard work and intelligence are essential but there is still all of the erratic factors such as location, time, connections, and random other factors. You can understand this even better than me. From your name you have a Viet heritage? My experience of Vietnamese students is that they are among the hardest working, and most brilliant I have ever met.
And to think that some HR LinkedIn think that their job is really important.
If I can mention the most useless dept I would definitely said HR.
@@aika7974 I could argue and good HR manager can bring home great success. If they focused on leveling up the skills of the team, on helping everyone become more efficient, less toxic and more accountable without the blame game. HR can do great.
1:37 that screen and wallpaper is amazing
The Editor AMVs a true weeb :)
@@dontcallmedzun3425 I didn't feel much watching the movie, but visuals were stunning.
The only time I had a hole in the heart was after "your lie in April"
@@अण्वायुवरीवर्त give "A Silent Voice" a watch. It will leave a hole forever
@@vik4975 I was literally going to mention that in my previous comment but thought - it's fine, I don't need tell how much of baby I am. But I really felt that movie to the bones, every single scene such as when he runs through hospital confused only to meet her on the bridge and kinda confession, man that shit is crazy
"I want to eat your pancreas" also has some shitty plot.
Wow! So sorry about that. It's good to know with this kind of stuff. Bless your heart.
2:05 when he wore a different hat to fit the reference I just lost it
I was about to say.. "No ones going to talk about him wearing the McDonalds hat"? lol
Scale is going to have to pivot soon given that their entire business model is based on providing data sets for training models. A study out of Waterloo about LO-shot learning is gonna change the game.
The "Are you gay ? " question exists.
Me: I'm straight.
Joma: I'm single.
Why is this even a question? So stupid.
"what's popping guys?! This is day in a life of a startup employee. And there is me coding,
heheheheh"
bro that was so funny hahahahahahahhahahahaa u got the whole squad laughing omg
5:27 Legend says waldo hasn't been found yet
They literally made him create an entire product which they then used to build their company. This is appalling.
That company owes me thousands of dollars.
That "day in the life of a startup employee" was hilarious.
This is HILARIOUS! Only seen your interviews before, and this is comedy gold.
"even his name sound like a start-up" bombaclaat that killed me bro🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
How are you single and still got the "keys-to-her-heart"? You better get over it my dude.
1:30 , "Even his name looks like a startup " got me laughing my ass off )
Update : this guys is the youngest billionaire now
Cmon, go ALL IN on Porndora, it's a guaranteed multi BILLION DOLLAR startup.

true breh.
I’m 27 and this CEO makes me feel bad
He was probably pushed by his parrents to commit to it. We all live different lives, feeling imposter about it just makes things worse. Focus on things you can change, not what you can't change and you'll feel much happier. Love
@@Adam-cn5ib Naw don't forget our parents are asian. Mine cut me off lol.
@@guoforit so where does the money initially comes from?
@@Adam-cn5ib That's not correct. His parents were against this.
@@guoforit Do you have a blog? i'm curious about your journey
I interviewed for a company named Egen Solutions. They gave huge home assignment to complete, the solution was not available on internet. The work was novel, took me almost 6 to 8 hrs to complete. Recruiter told - the senior engineer liked the code and gave great feedback. Then 45 minutes round which went well. I was able to solve all problems. Later they say they moved with other candidate. The worst part was the recruiter send the assignment on email. It looks like they put fake positions and ask the candidates to complete the assignment which they send on email. That way they get work done for free. How I know it was fake position that position was showing open after 3 months when they told me they moved with other candidate.
Mr. Andrew Wang just became a 25 year old billionare. These people are super amazing and I want to work with them very soon.
a billionare with tons of super underpaid workers :)
They probably already decided to ghost you when you said you were looking for a full-time position, When they say cringey shit like "Someone who can wear many hats" what they really mean is "We are looking for young talent who we can underpay and exploit" or in a single word "intern".
Lucy Guo: "Great work on the take home."
Also Lucy Guo: "your code looks more intern than full-time worthy"
*Ouch
Well, I've got a dozen of insincere answers from companies I've applied when I was younger and only some have actually answered sincerely in a follow-up when I specifically asked for more feedback. Those kind of answers may hurt but they are worth a lot.
wrgg, nos uch thing as ouch or judge or intern or worth or etc, cepuxuax, outx any nmw s perfx
"just kidding, he was 19" HAHAHAHAH
Love the content and editing for this one video. One of the best I’ve seen from you ;)
ghosting feels worse than just rejection, this shit makes you go through all stages of denial and it's exhausting af
I find it rude when a potential employer does not give the result of the interview and you have to guess from the silence. It would take them a minute to just write a short email saying the application was not successful. Even more so after you spent some time on their assignment.
Damn that is the ultimate insult you can receive as a developer!
That 22 year old is one of the most influential billionaire.
Thank you Joma for introducing me to Blackpink 3 weeks ago. When I first saw the picture at 4:44 I immediately noticed Jisoo and was blown away by her beauty.
OMG why did you turn me into a Jisoo simp? It's been a few months and I'm still suffering from her beauty. Holy shit!
@@gevorghunanyan3515 Lmao Same here bro, Now I listen to their songs too.
@@siddhantsinghnegi9608 I'm their biggest fan already
Damnn.. Alexandr Wang just become a 25 yr old billionaire
as of today, this start up is valued almost $14B
Plot twist:
Alexandr took TechLead
"JUST KIDDING, HE WAS 19..." BRUHHHH
I always laughed when interviewer gave me some task to do at home ;) These times the recuritment tasks requires many hours to resolve due to their complexity. No one pays you for your time plus even if done correctly, you do not have quarantee to get hired. I got situation once when the company gave me feedback "the solution does not satisfy us". When I tried to get more detailed explanation they simply cut off the entire communcation ^^. I consulted that task with a few friends including senior software engineers and each of them said that task definately had been done correctly. Neverthless tasks do not show the value of candidate.
As someone who's part of the other side of the interview process, I've read dozens of homework assignments that took anywhere from 2h to 2-3 days. The thing is that my company does the real interview only after the home assignment is reviewed, which is super weird. I protested many times to this approach, because it asks candidates for a lot of their time, when it's not yet clear that they'd be even a close fit to the role. I've reviewed pretty shit code that seems to have been written by someone who did literally their 2nd project ever, and we require someone who can program robots from scratch.
But all my protests fell on deaf ears, and I got snarky attitudes like "if the candidate is serious about joining, they'll spend that time, it's a filter". I'm like WTF do you think you are? There are a myriad of companies out there. This entitlement is killing me.
Anyway, I'm lining up for a few offers elsewhere, so I'll probably quit within the next few days. It has been quite a toxic experience, and a good learning experience - learning what things are actually red flags to watch out for next time.
@@napillnik
Good luck! 👌
@@napillnik I hope you found better place now Donnie. As a job-seeker, it is very frustrating too have to complete test left alone test that only had 24 hours to complete or second test "just to make sure" from the bigger boss. And I'm stuck in that situation now. But knowing that some recruiter do care like you, make me feel better!
Yeah, they should pay for the interview time. Especially when the amount of work required for the interview takes that's long.
Anyone who watched this video completely could never go without liking it. Its lit af.
Holy shit, this men become youngest self-made billionaire in the world. Alexandr Wang
Can't stop laughing at - "I matched with her in Tinder a year ago" :D
I had an interview for an internship, and I submitted a whole working code for data design platform, and heard nothing. Took about 6 hours of my life lol.
Joma was desperate for job at the time lol. She sent him an email at 11:00, Joma replied at 11:01.
I dont think so...Joma looks like an exciteable type of guy ...an A type personality ....a lets get it done now type of guy...he comes across like a guy who will respond your emails and messages....like he got the ettiqute protocol on point ....big ups to him...
Saying yes is powerful but sometimes Saying no is more powerful
I watched this before becoming a computer science student, and now 3 years later, watching this for the second time, this is gold.
How many lines of code was that project of yours? I’m not a frontend guy myself so it looked fairly advanced, seemed significant for a take-home interview assignment
The permission file is called "key-to-her-heart" xD
I love your humbleness!!! (to the extent that you're making it public being rejected by a startup and making some fun out of it) man... if you got rejected i have no chance at all xD .. you're great n_n
Bro never realised he was talking to future billionaire😂
That Jarvis Impression was spot on and everyone missed it.
when?
The only thing I wanna know about this whole thing is, what was the median
You are funny Joma. Keep up the great content!
“Even his name looks like a startup” haha
You can now charge the company some market Ad fee😂 I haven’t heard of the company
The title should be more like "how I got ghosted by a 19 year old"
😂😂😂
Love you Joma 💙
That's the plot twist haha
Can you do more of this? Really help us prepare the interview.
During an interview for a HUGE entertainment company (doing movies and video games...), at some point I was climbing with interviewers in hierarchy... And then the studio director asked me "What are you good for?".
I couldn't resist and answered "Doing jokes?"
He smiled... But I didn't get the job :).
"No hard feelings, I'd ghost myself too."
Same, man
Well gentleman , Alexandr Wang is worth 1 billion now.
Isn't the answer to the question to use a min heap and max heap combination with the streaming median being the heap with +1 node or average them both if they're both the same size?
Sounds right to me. You got it
Funny thing, i was rejected from a full time interview too, not gonna lie was a big hit to my confidence,
then got freelancing jobs which pays me double the amount in lesser and flexible time.
I think what they wanted was to you build an object detection model using OpenCV or YOLO, which automatically draws boxes around cows or anything else in picture.
Sounds like they wanted him to work for them for free.
True i hate it
Ghosting is the norm nowadays. I am surprised if companies actually properly reply to / reject applicants. HR in the US is completely broken. Probably the worst I've seen in any country.
had me in tears dude well done, you're funny as hell
that sounds like one of the classic question out of 'cracking the code interview' book. Don't remember it exactly how to do it, probably need something like a min-heap and a max-heap. It has been quite a while since I had to practice any interview questions. Feeling pretty rusty
That's exactly how you do it, did it for my algorithm class two years ago.
