I interviewed a while ago at a well rated (but not MANGA) company. I was livid when the interviewer decided to move to an easier question and was skeptical when I “solved” in-order traversal of a binary tree without thinking. “Oh, you’ve seen this problem before?” “Yeah; a few weeks into college…” I’m a staff engineer and tech lead at a MANGA company. I code in up to 5 languages a day. I’ve written Network stacks, compression software, virtualization software, and the backbone of multiple PaaS platforms. And they were focused on whether I knew niche algorithms (apparently based on EXT3) and other stupid stuff.

Literally had the same thing. I've lead large scale software projects for a critical service at a FAANG, and the interviewer will just nit pick on some random detail. Very odd feeling failing an interview like that and then going into work on Monday and banging out software on a highly competitive team

> a MANGA company That's a new one to me, what's it made of? (All that's coming to mind is I presume totally unrelated: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manga https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manga )

  It's FAANG but rearranged and using Meta's new name instead of Facebook.
