By this metric, extremely few interviewers are good, and candidates should assume an interviewer won’t be good and instead do the esoterica homework & trivia memorization, as there won’t be economic returns to one’s interview effort otherwise. If I had known this as a high school student, I never would have studied math and computer science. Easily one of the most anti-inclusivity and self-defeating aspects of tech.
