I've recently joined Amazon Dublin from India and got opportunities to interview with Meta London, Zalando Berlin & some other companies. I extensively researched about companies hiring internationally which support visa & relocation for Tech roles. So sharing list of companies:

Do consider to STAR, if it helped you.

What Hiring Should Look Like

This is definitely not the first time I've written about this topic, but I haven't written formally about it in quite awhile. So I want to revisit why I think technical-position interviewing is so poorly designed, and lay out what I think would be a better process.

I'm just one guy, with a bunch of strong opinions and a bunch of flaws. So take these suggestions with a grain of salt. I'm sure there's a lot of talented, passionate folks with other thoughts, and some are probably a lot more interesting and useful than my own.

But at the same time, I hope you'll set aside the assumptions and status quo of how interviewing is always done. Just because you were hired a certain way, and even if you liked it, doesn't mean that it's a good interview process to repeat.

If you're happy with the way technical interviewing currently works at your company, fine. Just stop, don't read any further. I'm not going to spend any effort trying to convince you otherwise.

Fallacies of Distributed Computing

There are 11 fallacies of Distributed Computing:
1. The network is reliable
2. Latency isn’t a problem
3. Bandwidth isn’t a problem
4. The network is secure

The topology won’t change

Podcasts for Data Science & Stuff

I asked the Twittersphere for data science (& tangentially-related) podcasts recommendations, and got a much bigger response than I expected with some really superb recommendations, so I created a gist with the suggestions I received. They're arranged alphabetically by name below, along with relevant Twitter accounts, links, and names of the hosts (if I could find them).

Shoot me a tweet @bennyjtang if you have more suggestions to add to this list!
