> Interview Coder just leaked their users names and where they got offers. I used Interview Coder and got blacklisted from my dream company. So I made a video a couple months ago disproving all their undetectability claims on their website. But this time, I have something even better. They were actually stupid enough to dox all their users on the home page of their website of all places.

There is no honour among thieves. So unscrupulous people were selling software to unscrupulous people and now they're each finding out that the other is not honest or decent to work with. I can't say that this anything but humorous.

Actually its worse, those are all offer letters scraped from the internet. So Interview Coder is blatantly lying:

Apple (2017) - https://www.scribd.com/document/500958913/offer-1

Amazon - https://www.scribd.com/document/819970502/672915686-Amazon-O...

Microsoft - https://www.scribd.com/document/786362890/Arjun-Chakraborty-...

Dishonesty layered on dishonesty, marketed with an arrogant smirk on top. I feel like tech culture has fully internalized the ethos of "no attention is bad attention", so having a lack of scruples and a talent for rage baiting is now seen as an advantage. It might pay off well for some people in the short term, but it's not a sustainable way to run a society.

This feels like the whole world right now.

They are lying. Most of the "candidates" have Indian names, and the companies are Indian branches too. And they are getting $175K/yr there?! The hell.

holy shit

oh wow, didn't even notice this

Doesn't seem like they leaked any real names going by what the other comments are saying. Seems like the dev for the landing page just used some random offers they found off the internet for that part (which is obviously way better than using real user data).

What's going to stop them from closing shop and re-opening with a new name + website in a few days?

Hmmm... So you are telling me in the age of AI you still need to hire software developers that know how to code? How ironic. ;-)

The extent people go with cheating interviews. What happens after you pass by cheating? The reason they have rigorous interview is because the company moves at a different phase. You can not survive there if you cheat.

This isn't easy to prove, but the sentiment in our field for a very long time is that the interviews are frequently the hardest part of the job.

A lot of these offer letters have to be fake; some date back to 2017.

Classic
