I recently wrote a post on designing better tech interview questions. [1] But one thing i never see interviewees do is outright ask, &quot;Wait, what does this question <i>actually</i> tell you about me?&quot; I find myself asking it in nearly every interview i go to.<p>If you ask and your interviewer gets glassy-eyed or gives you the laughably generic &quot;it shows how well you think algorithmically&quot; you know that you are being interviewed by someone who has little clue what they are doing. It is a great way, from your side of the table, to understand if your time is being wasted right out of the gate.<p>1: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.benroux.me&#x2F;4-steps-to-making-your-interview-suck-less&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.benroux.me&#x2F;4-steps-to-making-your-interview-suck...</a>
