I have interviewed several hundred software engineers over decades.
It’s hard to get a sense of a person from a single blog entry. I’m wondering though if she’s really good at acing FAANG style interviews and maybe not so good at other types? She seems to have written a book on coding interviews and worked at both Google and Apple so she must’ve gotten that process down well.
With those types of companies not hiring, layoffs and a general macroeconomic slowing it’s probably going to take longer than usual to land a job after a self-chosen employment gap of 4-5 months.
