I imagine that the longer you’ve been coding in the real world, the harder it is to justify doing all this studying for interviews to get a similar job, especially if you aren’t motivated by money alone.

Recently interviewed with one of the big ones and they were enamoured with my Swift and iOS dev knowledge but I’m not great with identifying graph questions. After many long internal discussions and even a letter of recommendation they passed/asked me if I was interested in other semi-technical roles at the company. In moments like this my sentiment is ‘take me or leave me’.
