| "is wether or not you ask me any questions" wether. Who cares there are plenty of places that will hire you without all this "super smart and get things done" cliché. More trust should be given to younger employees just starting out. They might still provide lots of value but not need to tick off a certain % of clichés valued by a senior dev who think they know the correct way. “I use this test on all levels of developers, but my criteria is stricter the more senior I expect you to be.” Who would really want to work for someone who treats you in such a subordinate way. A lot of the time the personality issues are with the super arrogant hiring developers at companies. I had this issue trying to get jobs out of uni, being able to code but not knowing the trends. If you answer the correct questions (led by what is fashionable according to top developers/industry figures) and fit into their view of what a great developer is then you will get the job. It’s almost like you could come up with a stock set of answers about subjects to pass (clean code, unit tests, maintainability, logging). What about the project which provides your pay check, isn't getting to grips with that just as important? |
