| I'm the third person to finish all the current Stockfighter levels. (I also coded a MineCraft visualizer, a physical hardware stock trading device with an ESP8622 plus cardboard and duct tape, and helped organize PVP games.) I had fun. When I first finished, the challenges had just launched and the Stockfighter team was busy putting out fires. I think they switched to recruiting mode about a month later. Patrick of Starfighter sent me an email with an invitation to have a phone call. We talked about the game, then about a job opportunity. If I had been looking for a job, the discussed company sounded great - a distributed team and interesting problems to solve. I think they spend a week on recruiting, a week on signing up companies, a week on coding the site, and a week on other stuff before cycling back again. This means that it may be awhile from the time you "win" to the time someone gets in touch with you. Both the players and the hiring companies are high quality. Last time I checked, less than 1% of the people who completed the first level actually finished the last. It seems to be a pretty strong filter. Pros: Fun game, good hiring companies, great players. Cons: I would not expect to be hired right away if I was needing a job. |
