>I’ve watched talented engineers leave companies for greener pastures after painfully short tenures. I’m even guilty of this myself — I left an amazing company after less than two years to join Ethena as VP of Engineering.

Engineers can leave after months and still get jobs. You're not guilty of anything for leaving after 2 years for a VP position.



Also director and VP positions skip the leetcode.


Leetcode is one reason people don’t job hop. If you actually have a job, you don’t have time to spend on the silly, non-job-related problems.

Leetcode doesn’t filter for skill, it filters for who has too much time on their hands.


Absolutely. And is such a horrible metric because it let's in people who are essentially using their time to game the system instead of thinking deeply about programming.


I wonder why.
