just got rejected after interview because I just cracked on with the coding exercise and didn't ask for the interviewers help (trying to create a collaborative environment) even though I smashed out the solution.... maybe dodged a bullet there

    A developer should figure out things on their own and ask questions when stuck. I don't see what you did wrong. I bet behind the scenes they said you were too cocky. They are probably insecure.

    I think of interviews like blind dates that you just want to get through then block from your mind. I really don't know why it just can't be a 30 minute conversation instead of a stump the chump session that is awkward for all.

    Asking for help you don't need... yes I think you are better off. I will gladly run ideas by better coders, but not if I'm certain of what needs to be done.
