Was told I was holding things back in a 2001 interview. I knew what they were referring to. A problem I solved with a for loop, they then asked me how else I would do it. I couldn't think of another way, but after giving me a few tries they unleashed their genius: "What if you copy paste the loop innards 10 times". And because I didn't mention that as a solution I guess I was holding back. Applied 10 years later just to see if they'd improved. They told me that as I applied before and was rejected they could only pay me a graduate salary which was unchanged in 10 years to boot!
