Correct, clean, but not fast enough for the Meta bar. Speed is a hidden graded axis. Went home and started doing timed sets instead of untimed practice. Painful signal, but a useful one.

Nothing exotic. A couple of medium coding rounds, a design round grounded in real scenarios, a manager chat. No LeetCode-hard flex, no puzzles. Sometimes a boring loop is a green flag, it usually means the team is stable.

The geotag did the heavy lifting. We are all in this together, apparently, from very different postal codes. The belt-tightening was, as always, a one-way instruction.

Dangling the possibility of the thing I applied for as if it is a bonus. It is the baseline. Stop selling me the floor as if it were the ceiling.

Companies want you "immediately" and my current one holds me for two months. Half the offers evaporate before I can even join. How do you bridge the gap without burning bridges?

The flexibility is a one-way street and it runs toward the company. "Unlimited leave" energy: technically infinite, practically zero.
