Yea was expecting LC, old guy interviewer started asking me the intricacies of Java and spring framework. Told me without me asking that it’s cool and all if you know a little fizzbuzz but knowing Java lang trivia is the meat and potatoes of career progression. Like sir, do you know that my other interviews are paying twice your role? Interviewing constantly, let’s some dumb interviews fall through the cracks. Have some of these companies lost their mind? I beg to differ also, how do I progress my career if I restrict myself to becoming an expert in a single language? I’ve been mostly language agnostic lately

Thx
Also ignore and move on.
You failed in your interview if you failed to troll the interviewer
I wish I did
This is how all interviews were at non-faang 5 years ago, if you can believe it.
I get that but for him to gaslight me to say LC isn’t the way to go but language trivia is 😂
Oh God why? They will never ask LC. Their mentality is like if you know how to use the framework then you are an excellent developer. They don't care if you can come up with optimised logic for the code, most of the cases they just want a running service, even if it runs in O(n^3) they don't bother.
Right but language level interview, kinda silly. I’ve documented I work at that language at past jobs, what did they think I was doing there with the language. If your interview has to be trivia it’s prob just googleable stuff, no?
Exactly, language should not be something to interview. Any good developer can pick a language in less than a week.
Same experience with JPMC. Interviewer asked random Java things. That’s because they can’t code and are only good at book stuff
Infosys?? The I in WITCH? Why would you even interview there?
Not sure what that is
Sounds dumb as fk. Tech interviews in general are dumb as fk. 90% of your job in tech is Google.com copy paste. It’s literally a joke. Just keep interviewing it’s all luck and a numbers game and eventually someone will ask you the right questions
Lower paying companies are basically profiting from you not knowing that high paying companies exist
why did you interview there?
I pack my schedule with interviews, this one fell through the cracks. But the audacity was memorable
