I'm drawing a fine line and doing a bad job of it. I think feedback is good, but I don't want to overvalue the feedback from the interviewer. That message is going to be specific to that hiring manager and organization, and some stuff might be made up because it's safer to say you did poorly on the whiteboard coding than it is to say you weren't a cultural fit. So even if you get feedback there, it may be to backfill the reason for not hiring you that they might not actually want to share.
Objective eyes are good. Do the exercise with someone disinterested and see what they say. It's not that feedback isn't valuable, it's that the value from the interviewer is limited for the reasons above.
- brailsafe 9y agoI tend to agree with that. Very much like soliciting design or product feedback from users. You don't want to be implementing every button or specific feature that a user says they need. Find what to gain from it if anything and hopefully find some growth from it. Thanks for the clarification.
