Can’t just be me, can it? Currently 0 for 3 on interviews because I can’t seem to get past the technical interview/test. Usually because of some crazy complicated algorithm question that’s never been relevant to anything I’ve ever had to do on the job in all my years coding.

Also, while I’m ranting: screw the usual non-answer when given feedback.

    your 2 decades of experience mean much more than memorizing algorithms, you know how to produce real value

    That’s all fine and dandy but the HR recruiter that can’t tell apart git from grunt needs to cross boxes in the skills assessment section, and if you don’t ace coding challenges you are as good as dead to them.
