Yeah tech interviews are notoriously awful about testing for trivia style tech knowledge and you either know it or you don't. >The sole way to deal with this situation is to plow through a dozen interviews until one sticks. Yep, and that's pretty much the standard. On the plus side the more you interview the more you see the same questions popping up so you can prep for them. It's an awful numbers game but so long as you keep optimizing/learning that's all that matters. For what it's worth there was a post on HN a few months back from a high end recruiting company where candidates were highly pre-qualified to interview for certain positions and even then I think their success rate was like 20%. It's the nature of the beast for tech. If your interview offer percentage is too high that probably means you just aren't reaching high enough. >It's so easy to dismiss it as fake or that it doesn't exist. The real world is quite a bit more complicated and messed up in certain ways; it's not just sour grapes talking. I'm not dismissing you at all, I've bombed tech interviews before it's the nature of the beast.
