I am a software developer who moved to the USA recently from Ireland. I have a job at the minute, so I am not desperate yet. However, I have interviewed for various companies all over the country recently. I have yet to be asked a single technical question, and have instead been asked to constantly jump through hoops regarding riddles - which are often philosophical in nature.<p>Also, I am in New York - I have had issues with over five potential employers just not turning up to the damn interviews.<p>I also had one company tell me that my greencard isn&#x27;t enough, and that they only hire citizens.<p>Maybe I should just go back home at this stage, I am never going to pass an interview that is 100% riddles, and I am never going to pass an interview where the employer doesn&#x27;t turn up.<p>Does anyone have any input?
Ask HN: I can't get a job and it is bringing me down, what is going on here?
