Btw I’ve seen the “advice” part faceplant terribly, where the interviewer is pompously trying to “unstick” the interviewee but it turns out the interviewee already understands the problem in a deeper sense than the interviewer and the interviewer is effectively ignorantly and annoyingly trying to derail the interviewee’s thought process without recognizing what they’re doing. In general I’m deeply skeptical of interviewers coming to the table with their framework full of assumptions for how to evaluate the interviewee when in fact they have a solid chance of being the less smart person in that room and can’t get a readout on the smarter person.
