• Had an interview with Chaos Theory's Marvin, i dun think i will be proceeded, but it was a good interview, 一鳩打醒左我.

  • He focuses a lot on whats my reason leaving both company, what do i want in the future
  • He criticized me for being an escaper from problems
  • My take:
    • That critic is partially fair, but i do think the reason is a bit different from he thinks.
    • I did not escape from the problem, i don't think i escaped from the pressure as well.
    • I also cant directly say choco up culture suck ass, i dun want to work there anymore
    • But i do tend to avoid hard problem, and try to delay them as long as i can
    • Like right now, i am basically escaping from my responsibility, and what i should do
    • This is the 一鳩 part
    • And i do think i have a clear goal of what i want to do in the next job, i just dun think i can achieve it now

• So, lets actually work my ass off, no, lets actually re focus, week by week do what i should do

• First thing, let me backfill the day record today haha

• I also want to include the weekly goal every Sunday, and see if i can finish the goal

• Its just another bad weather brother

• My pants button randomly broke, fml

• Preping for chaos interview
  • Going through the obs codebase to familiarize myself
• Started watching Agent of Mystery, Hyeri > Karina tbh

• I am a bit exhausted again, but somehow pick myself up again
• Very small mental roller coaster

Job Hunting​

• The worst ever interviewer i have ever met, at the second interview with Fleet
  • This is the first time i face a rather offensive, rude and egoistic interviewer, from convo you can feel he dun actually knows a lot about engineering.
  • I really hate getting asked a vague general design question, i will always give vague simple answers to it. The real world does not work like that, thats not a healthy communication, thats just simply interview for interviewing, i hate that so much.
  • The fact he asked me how to avoid hash collision, granted that idk the answer, i choked here, but it implies he want me to answer something he knows and probably proud of, i have been there, and thats not healthy or helpful in screening candidates
  • He asked me whats the most complex proj i have done, i give my ans. He says it is not complex at all, 1. Rude, he should keep that judgement to himself. 2. Its not a 10/10 complex proj, but surely it is an average complex problem. He probably dun understand or even tries to follow what i say
  • overall i find the interview experience fucking sucks, seems like they are looking for a different person each round, they do a bad job at screening people. Feels like they want to hire a sa but not a senior dev
• I think because the two interviews are too polarizing, they decided to give me a third interview. I kinda dun want to deal with them anymore, but i dun think i have a choice.
• Cathay hr forgot to press accept participants, and i waited for 15 mins, at last she rescheduled
