Bad interviewers are so bad

  1. No intro/no small talk, let's directly jump into the question
  2. This is not the solution I'm looking for
  3. Figure out the solution, this doesn't need to be conversational
  4. Remember that clarification I gave you? I don't and I'm going to pretend it doesn't exist
  5. This is a bad approach but I'm not going to tell you why. lt just is, trust me
  6. I get it but you are wrong

Keep adding.

I have my boss like this. Specifically #5. Recently joined a new team internally where he has been for more than 5 years. On any pointers (problems/solns), he would not give any insight and just downright reject the thought.
I can’t imagine how would he be in interviews.

1/ They join the call with a position of authority, rather than a position of understanding 2/ They are allowed to walk in when ever they want, but don't take it lightly when candidate turns up late 3/They were supposed to assess talent,...

Today I had an interview but the interviewer asked a totally useless DSA question, such an illogical question it was like even he is telling me like you need to find a way to solve it by writing a lot of examples. Even he also doesn't ha...

so during many interviews, this is how I have caught them off guard:

  1. The interviewer was asking me t...
