Wait why is George Hotz, a well known dev, working as an intern at twitter?
edit: oh hes a crypto guy. makes sense. Also, lol at not knowing how to program in react
Ok but how do I get his job? Getting paid probably a six figure salary to fuck around and do whatever I want with one of the largest websites in the world sounds cool.
Nah tech internships always pay. Six figures isn’t unheard of though it’s not usually quite that much.
Fair enough and that makes sense having read the other comments about him being a known dev. Most tech firms I’ve ever done business with pay their interns (decently often) but I didn’t have any faith that’d be the case with Musk’s new hardcore sleep under your desk dumpster fire Twitter. Appreciate the correction though.
How did this dude pass interview for twitter intern anyway. Like, isn’t that position competitive.
“Not trying to get free work” said the guy desperately trying to get free work
Makes me think of stories I’d hear about tech companies doing sham interviews so they could get interviewees to give them free bits of code
I moved to Tokyo without a job so I had to hustle to get an English teaching job before my visa expired. One interview I had was very, very strange. Long story short…
The very small English conversation school had a weekly “party” and the teacher who should be there wasn’t going to show up so the owner had me pitch hit without telling me. The interview was a sham. There was no chance for a job. The owner needed an native English speaker with a pulse to be there to speak English. After five uncomfortable minutes - I figured that out and I made an excuse to leave.
White man in Asia! Asia man try to trick white man but white man too clever! Asia man not have brain pan size to outwit white man! Put Asia man in his place, do his laundry!
