Wang Yiding helped Lin Nannei promote a programmer position in a unicorn company, saying that the recruiter was his opponent in the International Informatics Olympiad (IOI).

That year, Wang Yiding from high school, under the guidance of famous teachers, worked day and night to focus on this competition. In the end, he almost lost to this student from American Pheasant High School who came out of nowhere.I heard that this person wrote a DDOS attack code two years ago, which caused Unicorn’s server to go down for a whole day. The internal staff couldn’t fix it anyway, and then he recommended himself to Unicorn’s network security department. He became the head of the department at a young age.

Lin Nan received a formal interview invitation from this company after a half-hour remote video interview with a team member.

This unicorn has recently been highly discussed in major media, and everyone has speculated about when it will be listed.The employees in the company have been looking forward to it since the C round of financing, and they have been looking forward to the D round, E round, and F round.The employees are getting a little impatient, and they are asking around through various channels every day when they can cash out their stock options.

Lin Nan sat quietly in the meeting room and waited.Although he was nervous, his mentality was much better than last time in Dachang.

The interviewer walked in. He was a Chinese-American mixed race with profound facial features.Light-colored pupils, brown curly hair, broad shoulders and strong pectoral muscles hold the shirt just right.Hearing Wang Yiding's introduction before, I thought the interviewer would be a wretched hacker wearing a hoodie, but I didn't expect the real person to have a good-looking skin.

I saw that he had dark circles under his eyes and yawned as soon as he came in.After sitting down, it naturally merged with the chair. Lin Nan had never seen such a relaxed interviewer.I can't tell what this person feels like, but there is something evil about him anyway.

Interviewer: "Hello, you are welcome to take the time to interview. My name is Matthew, you can call me Matt. I have already read the resume, so you don't need to introduce yourself. The education is good, why did you only stay in Dachang for half a year? Come out so soon?"

Lin Nan: "Well, it was because of some misunderstandings at work. I resigned because I couldn't."

Matt: "Haha. I know, I know. I was in there for two years, and I was bored to death. Everyone is so self-righteous, but in fact, it's nothing more than a screw. I didn't learn anything there. The whole point of intrigue, some office politics. I'm tired of it. It's the right choice for you to leave."

Lin Nan originally thought that the interviewer would question him, but he was so shocked by his remarks that he couldn't speak. Although he didn't like his experience in Dachang, he never thought about this issue from this level.And this interviewer is too blunt, isn't it okay to complain so authentically to the interviewer?

Matt continued to ask: "Who was your boss when you were in Dachang? Why didn't he take care of you when you had an accident?" After speaking, the corner of his mouth crooked and smiled, "Don't worry, I won't go to him. I just Just ask out of curiosity, it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to say it.”

Lin Nan: "My immediate supervisor at the time was named Qin Chuan."

Matt rubbed his chin, seemed to recall some memories, thoughtfully said: "Oh, he. I've heard of it. It is said that he is a diamond king who owns a mine at home. I don't know which tendon is wrong, no Go back to inherit the family property and stay in the United States to compete with us migrant workers. I heard that he got married recently? Did you go to the wedding? Did this young man marry some wild model?"

Lin Nan was embarrassed, thinking that I was the "peripheral wild model" you mentioned, but it's not easy to tell about the fake marriage during the interview, so he reluctantly replied: "Uh... his wedding... I'll go ...Participated in.... It seems that the marriage partner is... a decent person..."

Seeing Lin Nan's reaction, Matt smiled and said: "Haha, okay, okay. Let's get back to the point. We pay more attention to actual combat here. As long as you can get things done, you can use your brain to solve problems when you encounter problems. We don't engage in those You are stupid. There is a question here, you think about it slowly, and I will see the answer in an hour."

Lin Nan took the question and read it. This question is very interesting. It is closely related to the business of this company. It feels like it happened yesterday. It seems that it is a real combat problem that has actually occurred, rather than just brushing it on the Internet. A sample question that can be brushed.

Lin Nan concentrated his energy and wrote down the code line by line according to his own thinking, and because he had more time, he wrote a total of two ideas.

When an hour was up, Matt returned to the meeting room and kindly brought Lin Nan a bottle of water and a bag of snacks.

He glanced at Lin Nan's answer for a while, smiled slightly, and said, "You have two talents. It's not bad. Tell me, when can you come to work? There is a shortage of people in my team."

Lin Nan was surprised and thought: "Are you going to hire me so soon?"

Seeing Lin Nanka hesitating there, Matt seemed to suddenly remember something, patted his head and said: "Oh, yes, salary! Hey, look at my memory. Your basic salary in a big factory is this Count it? I will add another 30 US dollars on top of this. As for the stock options... I will get you the maximum amount. Our company's current stock is still paper and worthless. I believe you have inquired before you came. But the listing Soon. If the market reacts well and the stock price soars, and you sell the options in your hands six months after the listing, you may be free of wealth, and you can retire at the age of [-] and never have to go to work again. You how do you feel?"

Lin Nan felt that this condition was very attractive, but he still cautiously probed: "Do I need to meet other people in the group?"

Matt nodded and said, "Okay. Our team also has a boss and a few programmers who are at the same level as you. Everyone has a strong background and is busy with work, so there is no time to fight. The boss is a nice person, but he is too Busy, meeting from morning to night all day. If you need to see them before making a decision, contact our company headhunters, and they will arrange for you according to everyone's schedule."

Lin Nan: "Okay, okay, that can't be better."

Matt: "However, you need to give me an answer within a week. If other companies rob you, please tell the truth. Any questions?"

Lin Nan: "No more. Thank you for your appreciation."

Matt: "Don't do this. You're good. You deserve it." After speaking, his phone turned on, and he glanced at it, cursing, "F***, what happened again?!" Said After that, he raised his head and said goodbye to Lin Nan politely, "Then I'll go first. I won't see you off."

After the interview was over, Lin Nan walked out of the company and let out a long sigh of relief.

After a short rest, he turned on his silent phone, and found that Wang Yiding sent a link in the text message, and asked, "Lin Nan, the comments at the bottom of this post have been cueing you. Take a look!"

Lin Nan was curious, so he clicked on this link...
