Rex-Goliath posted:i can’t believe i never realized this but having a candidate write tests for a piece of your already existing code would be real good interview material Giving interviewees a legitimate reason to add a boilerplate copyright to the top of their fix buzz is not good interview material. qhat posted:Ask them how to unit test a function that calls to a remote database when you can't guarantee a network connection at the time of test execution. That can sometimes be a pretty good way to sift out peasants. If you ask someone to unit test a function and it results in a database call, successful or not, they've failed to make a unit test.

I did an interview recently on skype. The guy was talking to me, reading and asking about every item on my resume... All this while driving.  And this is not the first time this happened.

still haven't gotten an interview yet (7 weeks of hunting), but today i got three linkedin recruiter messages, two messages from internal recruiters, and one message from an agency that actually listed the client and position in the message and it's actually a good match for me, so yay. unfortunately one of the companies is tesla still gonna do the interview, just for practice one of the other companies is a chinese refrigeration equipment manufacturer interested in 'ai firmware' so hmm, definitely going to that interview in 'practice mode' too

I had a SpaceX internal recruiter reach out and I was like I’m totally unqualified for this position and there’s no way I’m moving to California but I’ll 100% take your call anyways.

pointsofdata posted:What's the biggest red flag you've seen in a glassdoor review. Bonus points for unintentional ones. For me it's always a yellow flag when a reviewer puts their job title as the title of the review, although Glassdoor is mostly at fault for that. Red flags are the lone five-star, slightly paternal review in the sea of negative reviews. Experts Exchange has one for a position that never existed. I tried reporting it, to no avail.

I found a company that's ~85% one-liner 5 star ratings with the rest describing dysfunction and sweatshop-like working conditions at length. averages out to a 3.5 company rating. they might want me for a backend role but I'm kind of hesitant
