Local variables should be camelCased. Method names should be PascalCased. If you've been writing C# for five years this should not be news.

the aesthetic of the code was what stuck out the most. it just doesn’t look like typical c#

it’s petty but this would be a red flag to me too in any language

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.

doesn’t sound like you have much real world interview experience

10% cut isn’t awful if you’re making dee figs already and really really hate your job. I’ve taken a way bigger cut to leave a job that was killing me with stress and my life is better for it. just gotta be sure you’re trading money for happiness or future marketability or some horse poo poo

does your company have an HR department cause every interview I've been to had someone from HR sitting in presumably to make sure the interviewer didn't break any laws

I’ve done a lot of interviewing at big and small places and never seen a HR person during. the closest thing is probably the receptionist i check in with?

I should also add that by the time I get to the on-site it’s obvious that my interviewers haven’t read my resume?

I bombed the gently caress out of my Google interview. Stay mushy anxiety brain.

Psych gave me a script for propranolol for the anxiety and it stopped my heart from beating out of my chest like normal, but the mush brain didn't go away. I talked through the problem well just actually typing the code to execute what I said didn't go too hot.

More practice and studying and on to the next.

I know the feeling, it sucks. I’ve tried clonazepam and it helps but not that much

what sucks even worse is having your phone autocorrect words to the company’s name for a year or two afterwards too, across keyboard resets, because the keyboard of course “learns” from all your correspondence
