This is the third episode of Offer Town, a show for engineers about getting offers, promotions, and paid what we're worth.

The guest is Victor Moreno, who's launched 11 startups.

This episode features IMO the most unique approach to "Design Spotify" (or any other typical dumb system design question).

Also, Victor shares the reality of how FAANG engineers think and how interviewers have a bunch of opinions, half of which are usually wrong.

This is an opinionated yet researched post about why STAR is suboptimal for engineering interviews and exactly what to do instead.

The first one was good enough for me to see 2/3 times in IMAX :)

The director literally made some of his other movies to prep for Dune.

Movies with dozens of Millions in budget were his practice for this next flick, so hey, I'm ready to give my money and be blown away!

Hopefully, more suspicions will be confirmed with further episodes :)

Totally! Some decision-making forces in the market are 100% based on superficialities, ya know. The purpose of the show is to illustrate that. So engineers protect themselves from those shallow judgments. And learn how to get more offers because they understand the game better. Not like it, but learn it.

"Open to work is an anti-pattern" and "We only want candidates who have worked at Google" are equally shallow models some recruiters actually use. I wish it was all less biased.

This is the 2nd episode of Offer Town, a show for engineers about practical, playful, & unconventional tactics to get offers, promotions, and paid what we're worth.

That's right! Yeah, man, that's solid feedback, thank you :")
