"""3\ That’s when we came up with @InterviewCoder — a cheating tool for Leetcode-style technical interviews. We'd use the tool to get offers from top tech companies, film it, and ride the shock factor. """
You see, that's when you should have stopped.
"""6\ We used the entire recruiting cycle to polish up the UX on real interviews, getting offers from Meta, Tiktok, Capital One, and Amazon.
I actually ended up posting all these offers as work experience on my Linkedin, and got my account banned bc I didn’t have work emails to"""
Putting internships you didn't do on your linkedin is not an act of honor. It's extremely deceptive and it's correct for linkedin to disable your account.
Finally, putting all this along with the Amazon correspondence in a tweet chain shows really poor judgement. Few if any will sympathize with you based on your actions.

This is the kind of behavior that college incentivizes, and also the hiring process is one-sided to the point where qualified people get left in the dust every time.
Why would we somehow expect anything different, when you literally cannot complete college without engaging in this type of behavior?
Honestly, I don't think its this guys fault insofar as he's just doing what Columbia taught him to do.
Its time we start looking closely at the education system, and begin the gutting of the things that don't further society's interests.
