There was one interview where it was told to access this online image editor (which I had never used) and start building out the mock-up. I spent so much time trying to figure out how to use the tool and set up a dev environment that I got nothing done in the hour they gave me. I was so frustrated trying to orientate myself that I didn’t even want the job.
It got even worse because I had to jump into a Redux project and pair program with the developer. “Ok so here is a bunch of code, now let’s add this feature.” So after just trying to get familiar with the code and get something working. I told the interviewer, “ I’m Just trying to get it working; then I can go back and clean it up.” In the end, I got marked down for “my coding style.”
