One of my first interviews while I was still in college the guy bombed me with question after question that I couldn't answer - about threadsafe programming, certain Frameworks I had never heard of as well as DBMS design - and at some point when I took a while to "remember" ACID his tone took another sharp turn to the point where he always sounded pissed. Obv I didn't get the job but it was the absolute kick in the behind that I needed to study a lot on my own, after which every subsequent interview felt like an absolute breeze.
