Love the recruiters who ask outright insist on getting your contact details before they provide any information on jobs they may or may not have. No TEKsystems employee, you do not get to waste 30 minutes of my day if you can't even take 10 seconds to copy paste the job description into a box on the internet.

Company B, when telling me it was a no, said it was a "marginal decision" not to hire me, and they would welcome me to interview again with them in the future If company A rejects me then I dunno what to do, these are already the only other 2 companies I would want to work for here (that I know of so far)

cool i applied to a place that sent me 2 emails to confirm they received my resume: the first saying my password would be in another email and then the same email again except with "#SECURE#" in the subject and my password at the bottom of the message. now i'm kind of wondering what happened to the password i put in when registering an account.

got a take home test after a successful phone interview, but it looks fairly substantial and has no expected amount of time given and somewhat ambiguous requirements. how long do you feel is reasonable to spend on a take home assignment for an interview?

So apparently I'm much faster at algo stuff than objectmodel stuff. I really hate doing object models under a clock ticking away because you end up coding yourself into a corner :|

Bought the book Cracking the Coding Interview today because I've had many people recommend it. So far I've not seen any problems that I wouldn't know every solution for in about a minute. It scares me that this drivel is recommended material for people to base interviews on too.

carry on then posted:was there a point with this post or were you just going for the usual ego massage you usually crave? You've got a real hard-on for me eh. The point was I've seen this book recommended a lot, and I would never use it to interview someone. It's almost like an implied covenant, if you can answer a bunch of notoriously Microsoft/googly questions that are listed exhaustively in a book, then obviously you're good enough for a Microsoft/Google interview and by extension good enough for us.

Basic string manipulation is entirely relevant to ETL. The nebulous "graph problem" may or may not be relevant to ETL.
