Asking coding questions that are irrelevant to the job and to my seniority.

I am NOT spending all my work time balancing binary trees. I am building complex systems that unlock value for customers or internal teams.

Sometimes I wonder if these companies even want to hire people who will do good for the service or are they only looking for busybodies passing some proctored exam.

The interviewers probably don't know the system or how to unlock value for their customers well enough to ask questions about it. That would require them giving you enough background to answer the questions - background they dont understand.
Hi nine_zeros, I’m looking to solve this problem. If you’re interested to be a beta tester, feel free to shoot me an email titled “HN” at wimpysathish@gmail.com. Thanks
