Had an online algorithm white board exam for an iOS native position. Neither Swift nor Objective-C was an option in the software. The interviewer wouldn’t let me use C because he only knew Java. At the end of the interview he said the recruiter didn’t tell him I was not technical https://t.co/Mu8hqUF7gD

I’ve had a whole lot of bad job interviews which just goes with being in tech I think. Many I’ve walked out on. The worst was probably one where I was supposed to be interviewing for a Windows/Exchange admin position and the interviewer kept asking me mainframe and AS/400 questions. I said that I wasn’t familiar with those technologies, never said I was, and I was unsure why I was being asked about those as I had no interest in or experience with them.

The interviewer aggressively said to my polite query, “I’ll ask about whatever I want to ask about,” and I said, “Well, I’ll leave whenever I want to leave, then,” stood up and did just that.

Always stuns people. But the fucks I do not give are vast.
