United StatesPosted Jan 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I didn’t make it past the initial round, and the structure was very game-and-writing heavy.

The first stage included two games where I had to build as many robots as possible to reach a finish line, and then build a factory that could be as profitable as possible.

Alongside that, I had coding questions and I also had to write an essay explaining how I made the factory profitable. It was interesting, but it was also a lot to do all at once, and the time pressure pushed me beyond what I could execute well.

I wasn’t able to advance. The reflection I had was that the combination of gameplay, coding, and essay writing made it hard to show strength in a focused way.
