Most departments at companies run on zero to two good engineers anyway. The rest are personality and nepotism hires limping along some half-baked project or sustainment effort.

Most people in my engineering program didn’t deserve their engineering degrees. Where do you think all these people go? Most of them get engineering jobs.

I’m gonna assume you’re being facetious here. I’ve been in tech for 15 years and I’ve never met a “nepotism hire”. Most of my coworkers have been incredible people.

But in case you’re serious, there’s an old saying that says if everywhere you go smells like shit maybe it’s time to check your shoes.

I don’t work in tech.

Why are you commenting on a post about technical interviews for engineers then

[floundy]

Because I'm an engineer, who both does and sits for technical interviews.

So you do work in tech, gotcha
