Its not that simple. If somenone wanted you wouldn't even know that. Besides - IMO for the hopper it is also not easy - changing colleagues, earning respect again etc. OTOH, whatever one says - the goal of the job is to get paid and support your familly. That gets especially important when you have kids.

We do background checks, so hopefully we're not actually hiring people who tell big lies on their resumes.

> IMO for the hopper it is also not easy I agree. I'm changing jobs soon and have some apprehension for the reasons you mention, plus don't forget the fear of underperforming and being deported for losing my job :/

> the goal of the job is to get paid and support your family Parents and people who pass the vibe check get strong yeses from me so no issue there /s

But in all seriousness I do feel really bad when interviewing parents or anyone with other obligations that stop them from grinding practice questions if I have to fail them because they can't solve some BS leetcode question. Unfortunately my intuition if someone is a good engineer or not doesn't matter much if they can't crank out some leetcodes in 35 minutes :/

The problem is this is great news to other competitors and its not possible to bring everyone on board. Its probably not even legal.

It's ok if my employer's competitors are advantaged because I'm switching jobs soon to get that sweet sweet pay bump anyways :)
