Yet another Triplebyte placement chiming in. The FastTrack product worked incredibly well for me in 2018. At the time, I had just over a year of full-time SWE experience but was struggling to get any traction, being still relatively-junior and without a degree; my open-source work wasn't cutting it. Meanwhile, the '90s legacy tech company I had ended up with was proving to be a professional dead-end.
I took Triplebyte's test, did their interview, apparently did pretty well (at that point in time, they weren't showing candidates their own scoring) and over a period of about 2 weeks chatted with 14(???) different companies. I narrowed it down to three onsites and ended up with two strong offers, one of which I took.
I'm no longer in that role, but I now work as an infosec-focused SWE at a prominent Bay Area fintech. I get to lead work I care about, and get compensated in a way that I couldn't have dreamed of ten years ago. Triplebyte made that possible for me in a very concrete and permanent way. My resume in 2018 was the kind of thing a lot of hiring managers would've tossed; not any more.
The loyalty I feel towards a company that's no longer around makes me wonder if Triplebyte could've worked on a longer timescale. I'm now the kind of candidate they were trying to acquire via Screen, and if they still existed, they'd have a very good shot at recruiting me on behalf of their clients.
