Soham Parekh is all the rage on Twitter right now with a bunch of startups coming out of the woodwork saying they either had currently employed him or had in the past.

Serious question: why aren't so many startups hiring processes filtering out a candidate who is scamming/working multiple jobs?

The amount of people saying “yeah he’s a great engineer” with the only supporting piece of evidence being “he cracked our leetcode interviews” is bonkers.

I wish he was never caught. The companies deserved that

Realize that a lot of candidates who followed the rules and told the truth were screwed out of jobs. Right now there are massive layoffs and lots of good people are out of jobs and this guy is being praised by sticking it to “corporate greed”?

Is Luigi Malione a hero and deserves to be pardoned by this logic ?

Wow that escalated quickly. I'm just saying why would an engineer who's been rewarded a seat at a company based on his leetcode abilities think that the company cares about anything else.
