Private Interview Intel Desk
Share Interview Questions for up to $250.

The quality bar
We do not pay for vague memory.
"I got a graph question" is not useful. A strong submission tells us what was asked, why it was hard, what constraints mattered, what follow-ups came next, and what the interviewer seemed to reward.
Low signal
Acceptable
High-signal report
"Asked rate limiter."
"Design a distributed rate limiter."
Best Exact prompt, scale, regions, consistency requirement, storage choice, abuse cases, burst follow-up, and what the interviewer pushed back on.
"Some dynamic programming."
"DP question with strings."
Best Inputs, outputs, examples, constraints, expected complexity, edge cases, hints, follow-up variants, and your final approach.
"Behavioral round."
"Asked about conflict."
Best Exact behavioral prompt, role/level, interviewer probing pattern, leadership principle or competency tested, and what examples landed well.
How it works
Simple flow. Serious checks.
This is intentionally selective. Gothamloop is building current interview intelligence, so the process rewards freshness, specificity, and credibility.

We validate before payout
We check consistency, freshness, uniqueness, and credibility. Gift card amount depends on the usefulness of the verified intel.
You personally completed the interview.
No secondhand reports, no friend summaries, no recruiter gossip, no copied posts from Blind, Reddit, Discord, 1Point3Acres, or any other community.
The interview was recent.
Last 30 days is ideal. Last 60–90 days may still qualify if the report is unusually thorough or independently corroborated.
No confidential or proprietary material.
Do not send screenshots, coding assessment links, internal documents, company files, proprietary code, private candidate portal content, or NDA-covered material.
Specificity is required.
Include company, role, level, round type, interview date, exact prompt, constraints, examples, follow-ups, hints, edge cases, and evaluation signals.
We may ask for lightweight verification.
This can include a redacted recruiter email or calendar invite. Redact personal data and never share private company systems or confidential attachments.
Suspicious submissions are rejected.
Thin reports, recycled internet questions, conflicting details, fabricated timelines, or material that appears unauthorized will not qualify.
Gift card range
Up to $250 for elite reports.
We pay for signal, not volume. One excellent report can be more valuable than ten vague submissions.

Freshness
Was this question asked recently enough to be useful to current candidates?
Completeness
Can another engineer understand the exact prompt, constraints, follow-ups, and evaluation direction?
Uniqueness
Is this report new to us, or is it a generic question already widely available?
Validity
Do the details hold together after our consistency, corroboration, and verification checks?
