Needless to say, I still didn't get the job as there was someone else whose skills better fit the role, according to the recruiter. You failed a phone screen on a problem that you had already solved?

Which is not to say that the c# authoring experience on non-Windows is bad. VS for Mac is good and getting better as VS features like the editor are ported to VS for Mac, and VS Code is not too shabby.

Gazpacho posted:describe a difficult work situation in their experience and how they dealt with it No don't. Gazpacho posted:The purpose isnt to find heroes, it’s to find out what the candidate considers a challenge and what they do about it. eg given a technical challenge do they brush it off or sit on their thumb until the due date or work constructively "Describe a difficult work situation" is too vague to be of any use in a technical interview. If you want to find out about a difficult technical challenge, ask about that.

TimWinter posted:"tell me about a time where X happened, how did you deal with that" where X is some no-win scenario like literally impossible deadlines or strong personalities on the team. "Tell me about a time when you had conflict with a team member" translates to "the team you'll be joining contains at least one, but more likely two loudmouth assholes that no one can stand." "Tell me about a time when you had an impossible deadline" translates to "this organization is in perpetual disarray and you'll be joining a team that's so far underwater your commute will involve scuba gear."

Only trouble is the office here doesn't have a lot of openings for my specialities, mostly AR stuff. Apply to anything that seems like a good fit. They'll give zero fucks about what some other team decided.
