  • At many companies you talk to more than one person in a single visit, so when that person writes about interviews, the plural, it’s likely that they’re planning to have you speak with multiple people.

    Everything depends on the company, but if you’re going in for a multi-hour session, you’re probably on the short list of candidates. So you should feel good about where you are, but you don’t have the job yet.








  • I think you’re wrong about religion. You’re trying to say that religion is used as justification afterwards, but we know that real numbers of religious nuts will endorse horrible things because of their religious beliefs.

    In other words, would there be less violence occurring in that region if nobody had any religious beliefs? I think the answer has to be “probably yes”. We know this by talking to people, by looking at religious zealots throughout history. But even if our logic is correct, we cannot accurately guess how much less violence would be occurring if the region were full of atheists.

    And in some sense our counterfactual thought experiment doesn’t even matter because the reality is that region is of great religious significance and you can’t really write that off as being irrelevant when several millennia prove that it is.
