Best interview I have had was an interview, then it was followed up by a paid &quot;side-project&quot;. I got paid to do some work for them and everybody was happy. Eventually, I figured out there where some politics&#x2F;business practices that I didn&#x27;t care for and I politely declined the position. It just wasn&#x27;t a fit, not the end of the world, nobodies feelings where hurt. (it also helps having a job, when looking for one.)<p>The thought of 3 month probation period is just silly, the author clear doesn&#x27;t understand the concept of risk.<p>I know when I walk into an interview and someone asks me the difference between php 5.6 and 5.7, that&#x27;s when I walk out. (true story)
