Or you could just say whatever the gently caress you want? No one is going to know quote:I'd decline giving them a reference for my current job before I had a concrete offer with a start date in hand if you're worried that the contact may lead to adverse employment actions. There is absolutely no upside to this literally ever

I don't think anyone in this thread is actually suggesting to threaten interviewers or recruiters. This is a joke computer forum.

I once had a HR/recruiter ask me "can you rate on a scale from 1 to 10 your skill in...'Linux'?" I guess this is to make sure you hire the dunning kruger folks idk.

i think you should threaten, legally and physically, your interviewers and recruiters, both to assert dominance and as a negotiation tactic. i am a lawyer and this is legal advice.

(this is directed as much at you as at myself tbh).

I’ve also just transitioned from pure tech to management so I need some experience under my belt on that. in a few years I can definitely see the temptation of figgies making me look around. i shudder at the thought of having to do a resume though, the only one I have was bare minimum effort for immigration purposes

this is me, too. i’ve gotten my last few jobs from ~connections~ and am therefore majorly unpracticed at interviews, especially at my current career level i’ve done a lot of interviewing from the other side of the table, but i don’t think that experience translates at all

its the most straightforward thing to practice. get yourself an rear end in a top hat and a timer and some tennis balls and have them insult you and throw the tennis balls while you do the problem practice the anxiety not the cs undergrad poo poo. you may also need to practice the cs undergrad poo poo i dont know

I'm currently filling out post interview responses. My interview question is effectively : "here's a one liner fake json string with the tokens replaced with other tokens - parse it and print it out in a human readable format. |key1+string1|key2+{arrayvalue1,arrayvalue2}| and they're lost. doing all sorts of nonsense with array indexes and off by ones. I've gone through two interviews already and none of them have heard of split() or map(). Wait you've been working with ${FAANG_ADJACENT_CO} for two years already, you're listed as a backend developer with experience in REST and GraphQL and I get a blank face when I say, "here's the Curl of the request..." and the job description is ALL Spring Boot. I hate being "What's the difference between covariance and contravariance?" guy, but...
