I don't know where you live, but around where I live in Denmark you'd fail for not using AI at a senior interview in a lot of places. Even places which aren't exactly AI fans use AI to some extend.

The biggest challenge we face right now is figuring out how you create developers who have enough experience to know how to use the AI tools in a critical manner. Especially because you're typically given agents for various taks, which are already configured to know how we want things to be written.

Around here on your southern neighbour, everyone is supposed to be doing AI and being evaluated by this, yet in many projects if clients don't sign off on the use of AI tools, there is no AI to use anyway.

Additionally there are the AI targets set by C suites based on what everyone is saying on TV, and what we can actually deliver based on the available data sets, integration points, and naturally those sign offs for data governance, and hallucinations guardrails.

I work for a fortune 50 that is heavily tech based.

If you can’t interview without immediately reaching for an LLM you are considered unfit to work here.

Around here C levels have AI adoption goals and are actively pushing it throughout organisations. Even when it doesn't exactly make sense.

I was just giving them an anecdotal example of what they were asking for. I think the answer is somewhere in the middle, but I'm not in a position to push any form of change on the C levels.

I've noticed that back in Europe everyone's in a panic mode, but that's because of the inferiority complex most people have vs both US and China. It's unwarranted.
