Top tech companies like Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google have 'technology agnostic' job postings, focusing more on behavioral assessments and problem-solving skills during interviews.
Being hired based on algorithm and system design skills can restrict the use of specific skills in day-to-day work, offering less control over the tasks involved.
The rigorous and time-consuming interviewing process at these companies can be costly, demoralizing, and may not align well with family or personal time commitments.
While working at prestigious tech giants may appeal to some, the demanding interview schedules and unpredictable skill utilization in job roles could pose challenges to work-life balance.
