Can’t just be me, can it? Currently 0 for 3 on interviews because I can’t seem to get past the technical interview/test. Usually because of some crazy complicated algorithm question that’s never been relevant to anything I’ve ever had to do on the job in all my years coding.
Also, while I’m ranting: screw the usual non-answer when given feedback.
They’ve been pulling leetcode questions designed to take a lot of thought and effort. They then expect people to get them in 10 minutes.
Unfortunately, I never got a degree so even when I can ace those questions, I’m really just there to fill their interview quota for the most part.
Yep. LeetCode medium difficulty puzzles is the de facto / unofficial standard, and even if you’re a pretty good programmer, those are tough to do in a timed 45 minute thing with some stranger watching every character you type :-(
