Being honest in an interview:

- Can you work under pressure?
- I can, but I'd rather not.

That is the shittiest question and it should be banned. Companies that make you work under pressure are clearly badly managed.

Pressure times are a normal thing, specially when it comes to projects that involve clients. Every Senior developer have experienced that at least one ~hundred~ times. It is only good to make clear that, even though you can handle it, if pressure is the culture you might not stay for long ... ;)

For some of us, pressure is the only way for our lazy asses to start

@graviton i agree, nonetheless it can't be a constant status

Yeah, heck with that question. But i see that word is used in job requirement so much. I just skip all job offer if the description contain something like "under pressure".

Like... Pressure everyday because of bad management or sometimes?

"Under pressure, like inside a submarine? "

@dlac actually the real pressure is outside the submarine

@hugh-mungus thanks. That song is now playing in my brain

Give that man the job!
