Interesting that this guy claims to be a "staff level SWE at a major company", yet one year ago he was on HN posting about how horrible of a time he was having getting a SWE job, how he's failed multiple interviews, including at FAANGs, was being rejected for even no-name small startups, had failed multiple interviews because of inability on algorithm questions ... and yet within the last year he was supposedly successfully hired on at a "major company" for a staff-level senior coding position.

Maybe the company is Red Lobster?
That would be a flex.

What I think is the strangest part of it is that they don't respond to a single comment. They've only done it twice in their entire comment history (3 pages). Once 2 years ago where they talk about banging women and the other being a few months earlier talking about HFT (which the comment previous to that says they work at a HFT firm)

But I think I found the answer...

  That's a mistake. A lot of people lie on their resumes.

  Source: I've lied on every resume I've ever sent out.

Something tells me they aren't the most honest person. That something is thw09j9m...

Seriously... why lie about these types of things on an anonymous forum? There's literally nothing to gain

Back in my days this was called "trolling".
Trolling is more than lying. It requires having bait. And sometimes a boat.
Post your blind username. I'll message you morning time EST with receipts.
It's not necessarily inconsistent though. People get rejected for so many different reasons and the job market is tough recently. And there's a post about getting lucky with the offer.
Damn you got his receipts
Funny call out. I always see people brag about working at a fortune 500 company, also meaningless with companies like Lululemon on their lol
seems like replacing him with AI would be blessing for his team
