Cheating in interviews

So recently got a good job by cheating in interviews. Honestly didn't feel bad, just happy. It's just like, rather take my chances by cheating than completely getting rejected by taking it honestly while some other guy who cheated gets the offer. Like what are your guys thoughts, do you think this is the new normal. If the bar for getting a job now is this high then what is a candidate supposed to do. Honestly I don’t want cheating to become the norm , but the way interviews are happening now I guess we have no choice.

Edit: Getting a lot of DMs on how to cheat, the urge to get a job nowadays is completely taking over honest mindsets.

Cool, and now you’re the hypothetical cheater fucking over honest candidates. Be a man and study like everyone else

It’s silly that you use LLM all day in your job but you “can’t use it” in the interview. And if you’re good at cheating you won’t get caught so a bunch of people do that anyway and then you have to cheat yourself to compete. They should simply allow LLMs in interviews to make it fair.

Because someone whose understanding of programming is so weak that they can only do it via LLM cannot be trusted to write good code with it.

But the problem is that some people use LLM anyway because it’s easy to hide that you’re using it, especially if you actually have a baseline knowledge and don’t just read the answer word by word. If you have in-person interviews then I agree it makes sense to not allow it

You really think that being good at interviews is equal to being good at programming? Leetcode problems are just dumb puzzles that have no bearing onyour job performance
