  • Today, I walk around LinkedIn headquarters and ask LinkedIn software engineers how to get into LinkedIn and if they have any other advice. I also ask them for their opinions on AI and if it'll take our jobs. You'll want to watch till the end because many of these engineers have over 10 years of experience and interview candidates like you every single day. Today, they finally reveal all their secrets.

    Seems like these people were lucky with timing, they got into the industry around 2020 or before and don't really understand how difficult it is to even get interviews nowadays. I remember I saw a video where they said if you were to see Google employees resumes from 2020 and compare it to what's required nowadays, they would be automatically disqualified by most hiring managers these days because the bar to entry and expectations has gotten unreasonably more higher now

    As a Microsoft SWE, advice is to focus on soft skills. Engineering skills are still important, but if you demonstrate a willingness to learn and have strong communication/soft skills. You will be so far ahead of other candidates, even if you end up bombing a leetcode style interview. Teams want someone that they can collaborate with easily and effectively. Passion shines through on interviews, I feel that's why companies will invest in non-traditional graduates like the employee in this video. They have broken out of their traditional background because they have a genuine interest in tech and usually aren't just in it for the paycheck.

    Do not disclose anything that the recruiter/hiring manager needs to know.
    Do not say anything that raises doubt or suspicion from your prior work experiences or previous duties.

    They are lying to you when they say that they're not scared of AI . I'm going into tech not as a coder but as a network engineer and I can tell you there's a lot to be afraid of when it comes to AI. The real problem comes when these geniuses decide to put AI on a Quantum chip and that day is definitely coming within the next 10 years maybe less.

      AI isn't going to take your jobs. It learns on what it's trained to do. People still need to train them and there still needs to be people to actually create products. AI doesn't have the ability to do that. It doesn't have creativity the way people do. Most of the stuff AI can do right now has been around for a pretty long time it just hasn't been publicly available like it is now. Now people who are just entering the industry or not in it see what AI can do and are terrified. You don't need to be. You need to learn how to utilize it and how it works so you can reverse engineer it and make it better. If you're terrified of AI while in school you're going into the wrong industry.
