Isn't this true for anything though? More experience = better (on average).

In theory there is an optima between a new hires ideal workplace and the hiring company's style of work. As with most things it's about knowing yourself and identifying in others if there is a match.

Sure it's true for anything. Which is why it's surprising when 95% of the engineering interviews you go on the interviewer doesn't have even a remote clue about interviewing best practices. Which is also why you get so many whiteboard coding interviews. "That's what happened to me once in an interview, so I'll just do the same thing".

It's the very reason I mentioned it. Too many people haven't figured out the very obvious fix: get some training in how to interview!
