“My last meeting went a little over”
My favorite excuse that everyone uses for being late

[azad]

this is entirely true haha I had same interview. The funny thing is, tech exam is not related to the job in company, you will never use trees haha

[sesTC]

Happened to me 1 year ago.
Interviewer kept bragging about their experience and what they work on for 15 minutes, then wrote a long essay (the problem definiton) and went ahead to explain it (the wrong way as their definition clearly violated some test case examples) for 10 more minutes.

Then asked me to define my methodology and expected me to code a solution that would take at least 30 minutes to code at full speed, compile and run it and write tests that validate the solution all within 20 minutes of time.

I got everything there, the discussion, the idea, even the code with a few missing test cases and their recommendation was no hire!

[carlosduque]

And THIS is why you gotta communicate EVERYTHING you’re thinking during a coding interview.

[cultOfApple]

This is so hilarious and you are damn right man!! Hate that hypocrisy here … it’s sad that we got to “ fake “ everything in that conversation

[ploutossculture]

Haha.. such a true story! However there are even worse experiences... like asking you to do their job eg. "how would you set up the strategy for next year"? or "what would you do to bring higher ROAS"? and tens of other silly or "clever" questions. I could write a book on that!

[lawlietnao_music]

as a SDE at FAANG I feel like these are valid questions though they could be a bit annoying, but they expect you to think loud and not just stay in silence for 5 minutes and start talking

[supercoolmunkee]

Oh jeez I feel you man, this was me when I get asked difficult technical questions for I.T. Support jobs. Questions were like, what help desk ticketing systems have you used in the past, how would you describe a technical solution to someone with little to no knowledge, how do you stay up-to-date with technologies, if a customer calls in saying they currently don't have internet access, how would you address the problem, can you explain the difference between RAM and ROM, and if a customer calls in saying their PC is slow, how would you address the problem. This is when I getting more nervous because I'm more of a plug and play type of tech support vs all these nitty gritty tech support.

[ruavaen]

This is why I hate to change jobs, having to prove myself all over again

[HazemTamimi]

It's scary how true this is! Every part of it! 😭

[patriciohernansanchez]

I thought you are gonna say that, interviews I've never left them even when I have work and they always surprise me.
Good luck Pirate!!! I am gonna need it too jajaja

[viniciuscardoso]

It's scary how accurate this is...

[laurenceotoole]

it's amazing, that he always has openings on his team...

[yuzen]

I got an anxiety problem when i hear that teams voicecall

[HarshitDaftary]

I had similar expericne with one of the MNCs. The interviewer took 30 mins with his introduction and we kept on discussing technical stuff for other 20 mins. He give me 10 mins for coding test which I could not finish as we were discussing during coding test as well. At last he selected me ( I still don't know why he selected me ! 😀😀)

[Shaojeemy]

This is the last thing I needed to see 18 days before my MAANG interview 🫠

[thedevguild]

The interviewer cut in during the introduction because he don't have time to waste and want to make it quick!
Then a few minutes later, still self-exposition on his greatness haha, ROFL!

[BatehamRadio]

The exact opposite happened to me today lol. I was doing final round at Microsoft, interviewer came in and said hello, let’s start with the coding question.
💀💀💀💀💀
Edit:
Declined Microsoft.
