Only bad places, where you'll work with other miserable people. Most good places have a "No Assholes Allowed" rule.
> After years in the industry
If you're jumping through all these hoops after years, you might not be as good as you think you are. You make up for the ego hit by thinking interviews and the questions they ask are beneath you. When really, they're doing exactly what they're intended for. Weeding out asshole developers that think they're better than they are.

- pavel_lishin 5y agoAre they? They're considered places that pay well and get you good credentials, but does anyone in 2021 think that a game studio is a good place to work? Or Amazon?
- sngz 5y agoyeah working at those places basically means you're set for many people in college. The kinda shit ppl go through to try and get a job there is kinda self explanatory. I expected all the down votes from the people that work there plus the people I'm talking about.
- lnenad 5y agoIt hurts to face this fact but exactly. As an eng manager my interview focus is to find a good personality. We don't do this by asking questions about personality, but by watching how the interviewee responds to questions, how they handle themselves and so far it has proven as a good method. I've worked with/under/managed tech gods who were dicks and I would work with normal people who aren't at that tech level 10/10 times. I am worried with the current direction towards remote work there will be more space for assholes.
