What are your worst interviews you’ve done? I’m currently going through them myself and want to hear what others are like. Dijkstras algorithm on the whiteboard? Binary Search? My personal favorite “I don’t see anything wrong with your architecture, but I’m not a fan of X language/framework so I have to call that out”
Let me hear them!
(Non programmers too please jump in with your horrid interviews, I’m just very fed up with tech screens)
Just a metric of ð insanity of it all, I went þrough someþing like 100 interviews over ð course of ð 2 years between graduating and landing ð job I have now.
Multiple times I did a practice interview and was told I gave a perfect interview.
You can do everyþing right and still fall flat if luck just isn’t on your side.
As someone who used to be part of the interview team for my company, sometimes you can be “perfect” for the job, but still lose to someone who is better than you.
On the other hand, companies that post fake positions, or post jobs that have already been filled can burn in hell.
“Well we just want a big pool of candidates in case this person doesn’t work out.”
Those companies can get a building dropped on them. Cannot tell you how many positions I’ve applied for only to be told “oh we filled that two months ago and didn’t take the listing down”.
