I was interviewing for a company that had "big data" once; they were looking for someone with Hadoop experience. It turns out 8GB is big data, and I told them they might want to explore other options, since they could do that in-memory with Spark or Pandas.

- _wmd 9y agoSimilar story. It became clear over the course of a (contracting) interview that the cloth-eared PM who according to LinkedIn had just completed some big data course was using every imaginable buzzword he could fit on the whiteboard, and seemed less than impressed at my modelling attempts interfering with his drawing the most ridiculous architectural diagram to power.. an executive management dashboard. I just flat out told him I didn't want anything to do with that kind of project and asked to be shown the exit.
