I love the "welcome home" from Passport control here in the US, I think it's amazing.

I also noticed the grammatical mistake on MU/TH/UR's screen after interrogation: it should have been 'Ensure', not 'Insure'!

I know of other companies that have similar policies - e.g eBay - it's part of the application process to provide your username and background checks are done on it.

If you think you can be a jerk on the Internet and have it not potentially affect employment then you're being naive. Most interviewers will do an Internet search on your name and dig up as much as they can about your behaviour on platforms and social networks.

Can't agree more with you! I'm a woman and my family always shames me for crying - from when I was a teenager even until now in my middle age crying over the death of a family member. It's just absurd - they have called me things from weak to "sensitive" to "emotional" - but I know better now that crying is a totally normal and good emotion and ignore them. I wish these perceptions didn't exist though.

My family made me feel like crying was a bad thing, that it was weak to cry and that there is something wrong with you. Never feel this way, anyone who says or thinks this is really wrong, emotions are what make us human and we should be glad to feel things!

This is super interesting, I've found that as I've aged I cry a lot less than when I was younger. If gender makes any difference, I'm a woman. I found that when I was younger I cried a lot, at all sort of things. Now I find it difficult to cry, and I kind of miss that emotion, because I think it's an important part of what makes us human :(

Same for me - lack of searching kills me every time!

On HN, who is able to delete comments?

I'm really angry that they could have seen this as anything but a dangerous idea. Strange sense of humour they have. I guess when you work at Google you don't need to worry so much about job hunting or career stuff. They are really out of touch.

I sent an accidental mic drop email as a response to an important conversation I was having regarding my career. Thanks a lot google.

I am in the midst of my job search, fortunately I'm not currently working (due to an international move) so I have more time.

So far, I have completed around 12 1 hour phone coding tests, the same amount of 30 min chats with recruiters, I have 8x 5 hour on-sites scheduled, have spent about 4 long days on one take-home assignment, 6-8 hours on another, and have two more assignments to complete, both of which I estimate will take over 8 hours each.

I haven't had a weekend for the past 2 weeks because I've been working on assignments and I'm pretty stressed and exhausted.

This process has made me consider changing careers because it's so exhausting. When companies give you take-home assignments I don't think they realise how many things you have going on at the same time.

Additionally, I've found that a one hour coding test has allowed companies to move faster in the process with me than those who have given assignments. When I receive an offer from a company I am happy with then I will tell those companies with assignments I haven't finished that I won't be moving forward with them and they will miss out on a great candidate!

I'd love to hear which questions you ask in interviews to get this information out of the interviewers!
