While not strictly programming I just finished interview number four/five with a company about an hour ago. SQL and data modeling. First, one non-technical phone interview, one technical phone interview, one online take home test. Today, two different sessions, second one primarily technical, and lunch.

White boarding a simple data model of a real world scenario was surprisingly difficult even though the interviewers were very cordial. The exercise was used to gauge my question asking skills (interviewer was acting as subject matter expert) as much as data modeling and SQL. It was kind of fun as I used it as an opportunity to expand my ability to problem solve in stressful environments.
