The problem is that resumes can be deceiving. If you've worked long enough in the industry, you've met a few incompetent people with stellar resumes. It's why having google on your resume opens a lot of doors. Everyone respects google's vetting/interviewing system.
Also, fizzbuzz isn't anything you really need to study for (certainly not for days or weeks). It's something you should be able to work out during the interview if you truly have developing experience. But then again, I've known people with amazing resumes who couldn't even understand the fizzbuzz question itself.
- oblio 8y agoThe Googles of this world don't fizzbuzz you, they want you to implement (close to optimal solutions!) and use tries and heaps & co. during whiteboard interviews. Neither of which I've ever had to implement in 10+ years.
- porpoisely 8y agoI didn't say the googles of the world fizzbuzz you. I just said that fizzbuzz is so basic and simple that a developer shouldn't be studying for days or weeks for fizzbuzz. I said people respect google on your resume because their interviewing process is robust.
