Those interviews are crazy. I had one today and I've been a backend dev in ruby for the past 10 years. I got into an interview that was 3h long and the first question was to implement a data structure in JAVA. I haven't seen JAVA since my CS classes days in UNI. Then I had a ruby question for the next 2 hours that were not specific to code, but just seeing If I could apply recursion. I haven't done it in years and I did not remember it plus the stress. Even the interviewer said that he had not used one in 4 years. Great dude, he could not let me pass and I understand it. I need to have the secret handshake down with ds and algos. The industry is not fair now, but you must do the work to keep up. The take out is, that you are not a bad developer nor the interview reflect on your person.
@@SCBiscuit13 thanks for also sharing your experience! 100% doesn't mean you're a bad dev. Interviews are a unique scenario that you need to practice... And I'm hopeful that interviews some day better align with real software engineering work. Wishing you success! 💪
Great positive outlook! It''s always rough to explore all the dimensions of the abilities of a person to solve complex problems in a short amount of time. Continuous learning and growth is the most important thing
I think you have a very mature attitude about this and you are an expert communicator. I think it needs to be said though that there is an enormous amount of bias that some interviewers bring when they conduct an interview. There have been many interviews where I know within minutes that this person is more interested in finding a reason to fail me than in being hopeful about recruiting talent. It can be rooted in age, race, or ego. It can be rooted in credentialism and where you went to school or what brands are on your work history. In smaller companies it can be because a person does not want to have to compete with you. I think it’s worth calling this out because it seems to be becoming more and more prevalent in tech.
@@verbal33 this is unfortunate but true regarding bias existing. I can speak from my interview loops at Microsoft that we actively try to challenge each other and reduce bias as much as we can. Nobody is perfect, but we try to be aware of this. But the reality is across the industry there will always be situations where this happens (unfortunately). And there are also interviewers that DO look to actively fail people and it's super weird. I've experienced it before myself.
Thank you for your video. I just had a Google virtual on-site interview 2 days ago. Just wait for feedback from my recruiter. I have been looking for my first full time job since March this year. Hopefully I can get this position… :(
@@li-yunwang3366 I'm wishing you success! Remember -- if this one doesn't work, don't give up! Listen to the feedback, put in the work, and focus on what YOU can control 🙂 You got this 💪💪
