You know what, interviewing with Facebook or Google or Amazon, it is like, they ask you something that have 8 pages of solutions, every angle, every possibility, all details refined in at least a few hours, and they ask you to present the best answer in 25 minutes. (Two questions per interview session sometimes. If you only worked on one, it is an automatic fail).
Ok, that's the questions. And everybody doing tons of LeetCode, so that they know answers to lots of questions. So then, what, we are memorization programmers? I found they don't even care if you don't have the most optimal answer, but can think really well or not. In fact, if you can think too well, you might be not the corporate obedient, "follow the leadership" type, and you may be a troublemaker. They just want somebody to work for a few years without trouble, that's it.
And then there is the "culture". I have more than 12 years of experiences. They ask a person with 1 year of experience to interview me, and then say "It is not a good fit", or "I don't see a strong signal". What does that mean? I was writing Assembly and machine code when they didn't exist, working for the top 1 and 2nd top software companies when they didn't even exist in the world. And they are judging me, saying "not a fit"? You know, sometimes it is because I am over 40, and all their workers, including the manager, are under 30. But hey, they cannot say it is due to age. It is illegal. And the companies are not "stupid". They know how to protect themselves. So it is due to "culture fit". So that's nice. They protected themselves. And about us, as the American saying goes, "Well, it is YOUR problem, not ours."
