Back in 1994, was interviewing with Some Big Finance (SBF) wall street firm in NYC. They wanted to pair me with one of their traders to write code in real-time for intraday trades. Interviewer asked me to whiteboard a String implementation in C++. Grabbed the marker and wrote on the whiteboard:

    typedef RWCString SBFString;
Would you have offered me the job?
