I had a difficulty getting an appropriate role because I am bad at answering Q&A format of questions. I have a decent github profile and side-projects (the recent one is halfchess.com). So I am coming from the opposite camp but I can relate to the author very well. I think the problem is with the interviewers. It is a difficult task to interview and when everyone is allowed to lead an interview, it just leads to very random outcomes. Companies don't really focus on developing interviewing skills for the people who are inside. Maybe they are just too scared to do that - pulling people away from their gut feel and not having an even distribution of people who can interview properly (across teams). It probably feels much safer to say a bunch of No's and then say Yes. The lesser experienced and the hard-headed experienced ones are worst interviewers. They probably are looking more for people like us.
