I'll answer, made a throwaway because I don't want to be identified. I did the quiz, moved straight to remote Triplebyte interview. Then to on-sites with 3-4 companies. Got along great with everyone, rocked many of the algorithm and system design questions (and some not). Got zero offers.
I am a swe with 2-3 years of experience, maybe four depending on how you count experience maybe, speak at lots of large conferences, contribute to open source, etc. I feel (and have data to back up) like Triplebyte sold me as a 5-7 years experience person, so only got interviews with companies looking for senior people. Really got along great with all companies and I have historically been a great judge of how my interviews have gone, but I think Triplebyte overselling me essentially caused me to waste a week of my life. Feel free to handwave and say I am blaming Triplebyte for my failures (of which I have many), but I do think I would have had 1-2 offers otherwise. Although to be fair, the 130-140k comp most companies mentioned would be a significant pay cut and may not have been do-able for me even if I had received an offer.
I had a similar experience, but, having interviewed with several companies outside of triplebyte I'm not too upset about it. The old hay about companies "looking for someone with 10 years experience in Go" applies. In the end it seems like the only way I can get a job is the really old fashioned way (via friends network).
