If the candidate demonstrated strong communication and problem solving skills, and a healthy desire to learn the domain etc, I would go with B
So you wouldn’t choose the person working on the same problems and wants to continue gaining experience in the same domain as you and you’d rather have the one that can invert a binary tree?
it’s easier to teach someone an industry than it is to teach them a strong understanding of how to build scalable and resilient systems
