Based on the name and thumbnail, I thought this was going to be similar to my "Pokemon or Cryptocurrecy?" quiz haha https://www.producthunt.com/post...

@daviswbaer Woah! 👋Saw your post about "Can You Wear My Company's Shirt" on IH the other day, didn't realize that you had made that Pokemon quiz too. You're killing it!
Davis Baer
@jonathankau Hahaha yep, I like shipping silly ideas :)

I love the concept and have to imagine this will get better with more data. Looking forward to seeing where it goes!

Pros:

Super easy to use, balanced set of questions, and quick feedback

Cons:

It's tough to assess somewhere's technical level so quickly

I'm not sure this is accurate if you're a really bad/novice engineer... My dev skills are self taught and pretty terrible. I can't imagine I answered even 15% of the questions correctly, yet apparently I'm good enough to get a job as a software engineer (which I'm definitely not). Maybe include a "stop kidding yourself" option! Otherwise, really cool and well executed!
Jonathan Kau
@louisnicholls_ Thanks for testing it out and sharing your thoughts 🙏That's a pretty good point, I had never really considered that people who aren't already full-time engineers would be curious enough about their skills to take the quiz. Will add to my todo list!
Erik Richter
@louisnicholls_ @jonathankau Yeah...just took it a second time and selected "I don't know" for each answer, and it said I am ranked at SWE I

This is interesting, saw some traffic headed our way from your site today :) Evaluating levels from the disclaimer on your site and even comments here is unfortunately very difficult and has a ton of factors. We at www.levels.fyi are trying to tackle this from a slightly different angle based on current title. We've found many recruiters index heavily on current position even over experience in some cases though it is variable. Reach out at hello@levels.fyi if you think we can work together on something!
Jonathan Kau
@ziggym0 Big fan of levels.fyi, will definitely reach out! Agree with most of your assessments, and was experimenting with setting up 1:1 evaluations between senior engineers/others for more accurate evaluations. Think there are many ways of potentially addressing these information gap issues though 👐

Got Senior 💪Can I put it on my resume now?
Jonathan Kau
@maxim_leonovich Sure, as long as you include the venusaur as well 😋

@utkugenel Yeah, same. Clicking the button doesn't do anything for me.

Hey PH, For those of you full-time employees out there, you may have experienced a time when you weren't actually sure whether your title reflected your day-to-day performance. I wanted to build Eng Quiz because more information means more leverage, whether you're negotiating a raise or interviewing for a new role. There's tons of things to improve to make this more useful, so would appreciate any feedback!

@jonathankau any way to check the answers? so curious to know where I went wrong.
Jonathan Kau
@madhurjain Hey Madhur! Unfortunately I didn't get around to building that into the app before shipping, but if you shoot me an email at jonathanhkau@gmail.com I'd be happy to send you the answers 🙂
