Developers should band together and create products. Then hire marketers n accountants to sell it and get paid. THAT would be the inversion of a binary tree.

I interviewed once for this job and the questions were so difficult. I did really good. I was even told one network question, they never had anyone answer correctly. Final interview was coding, mind you I did NOT prep for this interview at all. I hadn't interviewed in about 10 years, so was winging it. Last problem was, what I realized now, a tree problem. I came up with a solution, and we were just optimizing with each iteration. We ran out of time. I ultimately got the job with the pay I requested, but a lower position. The job was a billion times easier than my previous job. I laughed. Money was much better, so less stress, but it was just so hilarious how difficult the interviews were compared to the job

I was lucky my first job was with a small company, they didn't ask any of this nonsense, we just had a reallistic conversation and I showed them a project I had done. They put me on a one week test task to start and were happy. God bless those guys, I think smaller companies are better. 60k a year plus big bonuses and that was almost 20 years ago.

100% true and accurate. Sometimes interviewers don't even know the right answer themselves. Once, I was asked a question about the Java Memory Model and answered correctly. However, this very young, arrogant person (probably their first job) started bashing me, saying that JMM is not about threads interacting through memory but instead is about something else. And they didn't care in the slightest that I was a lead developer of a distributed system which calculated flight changes, flight delays, schedule changes, address changes, flight reminders... in real time for over 20 international flight carriers while sending emails and SMS messages all around the globe.

@martijn3151
Exactly this. I once failed an interview because I didn’t immediately understand a question about time complexity. I programmed games for over 25 years on hardware from the Gameboy to the PS4. I have extensive practical knowledge about optimization and low level programming. But apparently that counted less than some theoretical question about a linked list and time complexity.

They're really gunning for that one guy whose never written anything longer than 3000 lines, but has memorized all of leetcode

The funniest thing is you can't answer, are honest and then ask them for the answer out of curiosity and they can't answer either

This is actually how some interviews are. It's nuts

The stab at the Javascript logo was savage.
@OHOHOHCOME
The interview is more about culling out individuals who don’t want to be a slave to the company than actually finding someone qualified.

Best part, you answer it. They hire you, and hardest thing you do on a job is fixing button styling.
@nccamsc
I had an offer from a CTO, then he left and the next one interviewed me as well and asked me to do exactly that - invert a binary tree. In 15 years I never had to do that at work and was rusty on the algorithm, so the guy rescinded the offer made by his predecessor. No biggie, I think people should be questioned about the work they will be doing, not on something that can be memorised by someone with no experience.
@julianf5182
Fuck. This is me on every fucking interview.
@nask0
Nailed it. I also noticed a new trend to post "fake" job postings recently, God knows why. I have 20+ years of experience in this industry and struggle to find a job for past 6 months ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ New subscriber here.
@ajayyyy
I went through six rounds of interviews, panel, behavioral, personality, and coding assessments. I eventually got the job after a two month process. The labor market is tanking for this industry and people are competing against thousands of others. My friend owns a painting business with 10 employees and probably makes more on one job than what I make in a month.
