Are you failing on the algorithm part? My girlfriend failed 80 interviews before landing a big offer.
There's also always project management with your experience :)
- afpx 7y agoI definitely didn't perform well on the first few algorithm tests. I was rusty, and the questions took me by surprise. But, after doing more prep, I believe I nailed most of the later ones. 80 Interviews! Wow, I am out of touch.
- taurath 7y ago8 interviews isn’t a ton. You did prep and nailed algos - so what was the problem? 40 isn’t too old for sure at most places. It could be lack of relevant “showables” in which case you can go for a mid level position somewhere. Generally if you can pass algos you’ll get offers unless there’s personality red flags. Still - interview more.
- quaquaqua1 7y agoYeah, passing algos but still failing either means there's something deeply wrong with the company or some other behavioral question is causing issues. Or ageism, appearance-ism, etc, but generally this market can't afford to be unfair like this right now in my opinion
- taurath 7y agoCorrect - experienced full stack dev that passes algos and no experience or personality red flags? You hire.
- WheelsAtLarge 7y ago80 interviews but I bet she learned a little bit from every interview. The bottom line is to not give up and learn from each interview on how to prep for the next one.
