God forbid you make a small mistake on a technical interview or don't know the "trick" to answer a leetcode question. Any small mistake is enough to crucify you, and previous employment experience is ignored in favor of basing 100% on technical interviews.

Completely true. If you don't immediately and perfectly know the most efficient algo to solve graph inversion or whatever random problem they found on leetcode that day, kiss any chances of a callback goodbye.

Oh and be prepared for a hundred rounds of relentless grilling.

I don't know why it gets peddled around that it's easy to find jobs in CS. It seems as hard as finding a break in hollywood.

Well put!
