Rule #1 of software industry: Never judge the work nature by the interview. Cracking interviews is a different skill which is completely different from what you need to solve real problems for real people. If you quit now, it means the gatekeepers have won and I don’t think these gatekeepers as a good enough reason for someone to quit. As to when to know to quit: there will come a time when you will burn out. When writing code doesn’t excite you as much as it did before. When you find yourself in this zone for say 3 weeks in a row, take a break and try something else. There’s a fifty fifty chance you’ll comeback and about the same odds that you’ll find something else interesting too.
