ah yes, hackclub, the club where I offered to provide personal mentorship in Harvard CS50 and they rejected it.

don't interview with them, I had an onsite a few years ago with them and they cancelled it after I booked the hotel room and refused to reimburse me, what a joke of a company.

I decided not to move forward with Cortx because Alex was late for a call and gave me some bs about it.

Interview with Sandra (Sandra Robles <[email protected]>) was a joke, she didn't know I was a triplebyte candidate and the languages I was familiar with were Python and JavaScript even though she said she read my resume then said that I wasn't a fit since coinbase is a very mission driven company and I don't seem to be exhibiting that. The other thing that was odd that she took down the posting for the data role during my call since 2 people were in the pipeline for onsites. She also said she could recommend me for backend as they were heavily hiring but later decided not to. This isn't so much a problem with coinbase as it is with the very common problem of recruiters not being able to identify talent well even though the engineering managers and engineers can.

had a datetime, confirmed the day prior, to speak with Ian. He didnt send a hangout link even though I requested it the day prior to our time tp speak. I requested a hangout link right before the agreed time, didnt get it. He wrote that his schedule was messed up and needed to reschedule to 1 week later. I asked him to answer the following questions in the meantime:

    * Is this a full-time position, if not, what type of position is it?
    * What position(s)/team(s) am I being considered for?
    * What technologies/languages would I be using during the role?
    * What would my average day look like?
    * What is the vision for the company/role over the next year?
    * What will the technical/onsite interviews consist of and how long will it be?
    * What is the timeline for this role and what are the stages from the current to the offer?
    * How long will I get to decide on an offer?
    * Do you offer reimbursement for travel and food expenses during the onsite process? How will I be reimbursed?
    * What is the start date of the position?
    * Who is your competition?
    * What is the compensation range (broken down by category such as equity, salary, signon bonus, etc)?

Here was Ian's response: "If you don't think you can commit to a phone call before getting answers to these questions, then that is probably a sign that this is not a great fit for either of us. Let's just save us both the time and move on."

Very ironic Ian, especially since I wanted to do both the senior software engineering and data scientists roles due to my relevant background.

web: $130k-$150k salary Deep Learning Computer Vision: $130k-$170k(PhD).

kinda funny they are claiming to pay the web people nearly the same salary as the PhD level ML people.
