Hey team, This is Joe and Stopa. We're best friends, worked at FB / Airbnb together, and are now building a company. A bit back, we did an intense job search together. We went through 20 onsites, and landed senior / staff offers. We noticed that though there was a lot of content out there on interviews and negotiation, some of the ideas that made the biggest difference for us weren't talked about. Some of many things: - Lots of essays talk about getting a job in a week. The more senior you get, the more time you need to make the right decision. (It took us 100 days) - Negotiation advice is often about the offer stage, but negotiation starts before you pick up your first phone call from the recruiter. - There's lots of advice on algo interviews, but most of the advice on System Design / Engineering interviews is missing the key ideas you need to communicate So, we decided to make a course. Initially we planned to charge for it, but thought it would be better to make it a public utility for hackers instead. We hadn't done much with the course, but recently one of our friends shared how helpful it was to him, through his essay, "On Leaving Facebook" [1]. That inspired us, so we revamped it, and now present you the new and spiffy version. We're proud to share this you with you :). JS [1] https://frantic.im/leaving-facebook

I've watched the videos quickly - 2 days before an interview - and applied as few of the tips in this course. It went fantastic. I already knew the company wanted me - they were the ones reaching out - so I dared set my own "prerequisites" before getting into specifics. We're now moving to the next phase! I am now going through the modules systematically, and I'll finish the course even if I land an offer or two before. As a self-taught developer, I've had confidence issues many times when applying for jobs - or even just reading the job ads. I think the best way to deal with them is preparation and this course gives me the tools to do just that.
