Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 2 mesi. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Block nel mese di gen 2023
Colloquio
This was for a position at TBD.
1. call with recruiter
2. call with hiring manager
3. take-home project
4. final round with 3 engineers
I would recommend joining their Discord community server since all the employees are there, and you can get a feel for how they interact.
They really want to make sure you understand what decentralization means and are passionate about applying these concepts to real-world scenarios. I would read through their documentation to get an understanding of the concepts they'll be asking about.
Took 2+ weeks to get a rejection from recruiter after the final round but otherwise, they moved quickly.
Overall, I think it was the right call because you really have to be passionate about this intersection of decentralization and developer infrastructure. Everyone was really into it and I don't think I was able to match up in terms of personal interest.
