big scary monsters posted:no, that's exactly the opposite of what im saying. i'm saying computer science is a badly misnamed branch of mathematics, and should probably be renamed and taught by maths departments instead of engineering faculties or whatever. then have a separate course for programming and databases and networks and so on, call it computing maybe Where did you do your cs degree ?

The Management posted:nobody cares about what your answer is here as long as you don't say anything negative. you are "looking for a new challenge" or "eager to learn new things and explore how other industries do this and that" etc. don't mention money and don't say you hate your job, you were passed over for a raise, your boss was a dick, etc. I used to never believe anyone was stupid enough to flunk this question till I started interviewing.  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 *

I'm glad I'm still in contention but what the hell, the first two should have been enough. The director interview first is a bit of a red flag

devmd01 posted:director of it infrastructure, not exec level. Director is a specific role with legally enforced responsibilities in the UK which appears not to be the case in the US then. I've seen places where director has to micromanage every hire and its a  Appointing a director requires submitting documentation to companies house for example, so its not an empty title here.

quote:tests are loving bullshit. if you want a problem solved, you state it as clearly as you possibly can, you don't hide your assumptions and definitions in the preamble. if you want a problem solved, the person who's supposed to solve it should be able to ask others around them for help, at least in figuring out "from what we know of the question-asker, what are they looking for?". all my brother ever needed was to a few minutes here and there to get help in what the hell the question was driving at. I can't think of any work environment at all where that wouldn't be possible. there is no reality at all in the bizarre concept of a timed, right-answer test. Ochowie posted:That's not how problems work in the real world. I don't know what company you work for, but I don't get clearly defined problems with all assumptions and definitions predefined very often. Sometimes, it's not even possible to talk to the person who submitted the problem to be solved because that person might be able to provide anything more than a vague description/not be available for a discussion of a problem. There are legitimately bad standardized tests that people can be bad at taking (the GMAT comes to mind) but stating that someone is bad at tests because they're actually bad at problem solving is something completely different. Yeah, bullshit trick questions are annoying, but if you can't apply knowledge to anything other than the original textbook example you saw you don't actually understand it.

Phobeste posted:i wish hr people were in general more amenable to figuring out a way to schedule phone interviews for either lunch hours or after business. I'm dead set on leaving my current place but I still want to give them the time they're owed while I'm there Ah yes, make your interviewers miss their lunch or stay late. This will definitely ingratiate you to them.
