In any job interview I've ever had, I've always known if I'd get the job 1 minute in. Anyone else get that "feeling"?
Like, the interviewer will introduce themselves and right then and there, I'll know if it's dead in the water or if I'll get the position.
And my predictions are always true. Like, if the vibe is off, then so long job position.
Funny enough, when the vibe matches, they don't ask for dumb technical questions unrelated to the actual positions. It's either take home or pair programming, or heck, even technical discussions that relate to the position.
Almost as if, I can sense if someone is bullshitting.
One time I had some dude interview me for an Android position and had me take a coding challenge to pull a CSV file from a server in JAVA, not even Kotlin, and display it in a table, without a single library. Had to use HTTPUrlConnection. Suffice to say, I didn't oblige. Asked him if he was familiar with Android dev, he said no. I then left the call.
GTFO with that bullshit.
