And then you get the job, enter the company and find how inefficient everything is yet they keep pushing for it.
LOL This is so true. Coding interviews are never about finding the best complete coder, but about finding the best sociopath they can exploit.
All fun and games till the interviewer asks you to repeat the sentence but the words are alphabetically ordered using quick sort
Been a dev for the last 20+ years, and I can't put into words how perfect this was, well done!
im glad i took 4 years of computer science to understand these jokes lmao
You don't want to work for psychopaths, anyway. In one interview, the woman left a book on the floor in her office where I had to get to my chair. It was a test to see if I'd pick it up. I asked her if she wanted it there, and she said yes. (test passed) In another interview (made it to 2nd interview), on the elevator ride up with the scheduler, she told me I was an hour late. I apologized but also said I didn't think so...and showed her my calendar, which I'd notated and repeated to the interviewer at the end of the 1st interview. She repeated that I was an hour late. At this point I realized that I didn't want to work for them, testing me on how I would be a yes-employee or an annoying individual thinker.
Can we just take a minute of Respect for this man senario, filming and editing
It's pure insanity. I went to an interview where I knew I essentially already had a spot if I wanted. I was nervous as hell. I think I answered all their questions well, the interview had become pretty laid back, we were chatting and laughing. And then they made me get on a laptop and code with a projector with a room full of devs judging and critiquing my every keystroke. I felt like I fell apart, and I still think I did, but like an hour later they called me with a big offer. Can we not find a better way, people? Can we stop just torturing each other.
My current engineering job actually looked at my resume. They mostly talked to me about Dark Souls and checked me out to see if I wasn’t an asshole or weird.
I literally was dropped from a job interview yesterday for not explaining my process enough. This hits close to home.
I had an interview recently where I was asked a theory question, I answered the best I could but the interviewer was not happy so I said "how would you explain it?", he went "ee....I....e....you got me there", then the feedback was that my theory knowledge is not strong enough for the position, tech interviews are such a bullshit, if you had to interview them out of nowhere they wouldn't pass their own interviews
I was once denied from a junior position because I couldn't tell what my favourite new feature of the then-latest PHP version was. I was hired one year later at a mid-level position... by the same company. Many coding job interviews are ran just off the latest list of what Google or Facebook claim they do, without really realizing why Google and Facebook do it that way. And definitely without paying Google kind of salaries or working on Google-level projects.
When I'm in these tough parts, I often just ask straight up now, "what do you mean by that", "what exactly are you looking for", "what is the outcome you're looking for". Mainly because I'm tired of interviews trying to purposely make things hard without context. It is fucking annoying. And then I say, "I don't know how". Interviewers get real annoyed about it after answering my questions.
Thank you for making me laugh while triggering my interview PTSD simultaneously
Now tell me again but in reverse killed me, 😂 Joma you’re hilarious. Thank you for making my day better.
As a doctor I experienced questions more like "could you begin your job with us sooner?" One time I just went to the head of department asking for an interview without any appointment. I had to wait for one hour, but then I got the job. I always get very annoyed when hearing about how other people are getting bad treatment when looking for jobs. Really sad.
It is actually a gift to not have to considering working for an employer like that anymore. Smile and walk away. It's better to work for those who appreciate you and treat you well.
Joma is an OG when it comes to filming and portraying scenarios of either 1:1 meet or how an interview looks like. Great work
Joma, your best videos are the ones, where there's only you and your characters. You are an amazing actor, story- and videomaker. Every such video is like a breath of fresh air. You're amazing man, keep doing what you're doing.
