Are other professionals subjected to the same scepticism during interviews?
Are lawyers given tough questions and expected to come up with a clever response on the spot? Doctors given a list of symptoms? Teachers given a difficult student and told to teach them some concept from physics?
Serious question (albeit a bit facetious in my examples).
- dahfizz 7y agoLawyers, doctors, and teachers are all positions that have some form of certification. Potential employers can be guaranteed that all potential employees meet the basic knowledge and skills requirements. Nothing of the sort exists in the programming field. That, coupled with the high salaries, means fraud is a real problem when trying to hire programmers.
