My Job Interview at Google (2008)
I recently had an interview at a taxi firm that followed this format.<p>One two three pre-interviews followed by a day of 5 grueling 1 hour interviews.<p>I didn&#x27;t get the role. Apparently the frontend guy I had the first interview of the days five was concerned about my technical skills.<p>I mean, I find it insulting, having worked for the last 12+ years as a developer to be told that there were &quot;concerns about your technical competency&quot;<p>I hate interviews. I hate take home coding tests and have failed every single one I&#x27;ve had. Apparently this is a sign that I don&#x27;t do well under pressure.<p>I&#x27;ve been building working software for years, and the main problem I have is convincing people that I can actually do the job. I don&#x27;t have a degree, and I don&#x27;t have prestigious companies on my CV, and I don&#x27;t have the time or energy to chase around roles like this, so I have to settle for unfulfilling and underpaid roles
