computer engineering is where you turn physics into bits and logic gates and pile abstractions high enough to run an assembly language (mips. it's always mips)

VOTE YES ON 69 posted:lol that sounds pretty softball, what horrible poo poo did you end up writing?? apparently I was insufficiently cheerleady in my assessment. I'm not really sure though, because they didn't give specific feedback beyond "your communication skills are not what we're looking for."

once I had a job interview and after 3 weeks I heard nothing so I called the dude and he said they found someone with a better personality and then as it turns out they didn't even hire anyone at all beaten by nothing at all as it turns out though this guy is probably the worst person I have ever met in my life. his reputation for being the worst pharmacist in christchurch only grows by the day

Technical interview targeting C++ and networking protocols, what are the chances of not being a trivia quiz?

my worst trivia interview was for a java position, this unkempt fat dude came in for a session and asked me stuff like "is there a limit on the number of methods in a java class, if so what is it" my answers were along the lines of "I don't know but if I ever got anywhere near it that would mean I was doing something terrible" which didn't impress him no it wasn't a java tools dev position

It was surprisingly low on trivia time, but it was 11am to 4pm with no breaks of coding on paper. An alloc-free vector, small packet optimized data store, recursive mutex, lockless stack, lockless single linked list, lockless double linked list, binary tree validation, binary tree serialization, and probably others my mind has frizzled on already, they kept feeding me puzzles and not food. A few questions on SPARC details and even SunOS constructs, oh yay thanks. MrMoo fucked around with this message at 01:11 on Dec 14, 2016 |

In other news I received a very long response on another interview, which basically said they like me but that I'm a terrible programmer. Then offered a contract instead of a W2.

Clockwerk posted:you sound talented, not sure why you're getting stuck with all this poo poo. are you willing to relocate or just looking in a small area? It's because it's finance land and I'm more of a generalist systems engineer when everyone wants a savant computer scientist, or be willing to work in NJ. In non-finance land I don't have a resume of 100% Python or Java and it has been the same rejection on so many interview final rounds. I have cool projects like the NYSE wallboards, some spiffy DB optimization working with MemSQL and Larry Tabb and everyone is excited and even taking notes about the DBs and stuff, but ultimately they are completely unrelated to the interviewing position.
