Pairing for interviews is a good idea if you pair. But it's not a good idea if you don't: I don't like pairing, and I don't really want to work somewhere where it's a big part of what they do. I won't perform as well in an interview pairing, which ksbisfil info of you do pair, irrelevant if not.

Engineers like yourself, who don't want to pair, self-select out before applying.

Which is fine! There's plenty of variety in this industry to find preferred practices, peers and environment.

You are right.

I like pairing. Once a week.

Being obligated to pair and doing it every day is No Way Jose for me
