> Programming is a field where you can't really hide your skill from people that are better than you.

You're not wrong, but one rarely needs to impress a person better than me to get a job. Hiring managers are rarely subject-matter experts.

Unless only possible job, I highly recommend not wasting your time at company that doesn’t have your future coworkers doing interviews and having hiring input.

That company will likely not have good developers, will be an engineering shit show, and worst of all you will have little opportunity to learn or gain good experience.
