Technical interviews

Technical interviews can be exhausting. It happened to me more than once to screw up an interview because I was tired or unprepared.

There is also too much variance, so I think using some sort of standard score would be helpful. In fact an ideal solution would be to use using university exams scores to hire the most promising programmers.

The technical interviews process is rewarding when you succeed. If you get an offer it feels like you’re going to be part of a group of people who can solve those same problems at least as good as you did.

That’s also the reason why I feel inadequate when I fail.
