Really frustrating to see the current crop of freshers coming in these days. Yes, they are very good in DSA, but whenever I interview anything apart from DSA, I'm almost always disappointed. Students struggle with even basic sql queries and open ended questions. What is happening these days? And salaries offered are pretty high these days, around 15-20LPA.

I too felt the same. Almost all LinkedIn influencers working in faang/manga and training institutes focus only on the DSA. Hence, college graduates believe that they only need to focus on the DSA to crack the interviews.

great, give them tasks to learn on topics you see them weak, that's the part of being a senior developer/ lead/ manager.

Talking about interviews, not projects.

Coming here after Uber hack. This is what happens when you do not check some lf the important aspects in the interview, in this case, something as basic as security. Never keep your passwords in scripts. I am sure that hacker won't be able to do Leetcode hard questions. Lol. Kids these days are clueless.

Just to note, this is about a 25% increase compared to what I am currently making.
