Raluek posted:this was not true for the phone interview i had with xilinx, which amounted to "recite some verilog without looking anything up first" and "what is the implementation for <thing> that I am thinking of? not the way you would do it, the way i would do it" yeah its pretty much always this even if the popular opinion or even the one expressed by the interviewers is "just talk a lot about how your trying to solve the problem, thats almost more important than really solving it"

interviewers are bad at these questions because they have trouble empathizing with the interviewees position of not being so familiar with the problem they're being asked that the solution seems trivial

so i have an hr phone screener tomorrow. what's a good answer to the inevitable question of "why do you want this position?" other than "i want to do something more interesting than what i'm doing now, for more money" which i'm p sure will shitlist me because it sounds like i'll jump as soon as something even cooler than this company comes my way

lancemantis posted:interviewers are bad largely because theyre just random managers or team members who happened to be available at 130pm on wednesday to go into a room and spend 30 minutes asking some rando a bunch of questions and have never been trained in interviewing if i had a nickel for every interview ive been in where the interviewer spent the first half of it asking me questions about the last two jobs on my resume which he was obviously reading for the first time... "so you worked at xyz corp. um, what did you do there?"

All the devs I worked with before were idiots and didn't appreciate my brilliance* writes "not a good culture fit" and circles till pencil breaks *

(and still get those numbers up.)

nbsd you don't understand, it can't be a numbers game. i'm a unicorn 10x developer, and companies are hiring me for the particular set of skills that only i possess, and i alone can fix their problems. my career success is due entirely to my own effort, there is no random component involved, i am just that good and they can totally tell from the interview. therefore any failures i experience are legitimate rejections of my deepest self, they cannot simply be brushed off, i have been deemed meritocratically unworthy. why else do you think i don't have a girlfriend, and i believe i can do everyone else's job better than them, and i won't join a union, and and and
