I’ve been finding that the senior tests are typically the hardest technical interviews. While it’s almost always something that I could easily do on the job, I find it hard to perform on the spot and observed because of my ADHD/ASD.
I nail any conversation that is just about approach or decision making. I could talk about software and the theories behind it allll day long. The problems start with the technical test.

- glassary 4y agoThe thing you’re perhaps running into is that plenty of people, supposedly very qualified folks, can talk at a high level but can’t actually do the job — can’t even string a handful of lines of code together.

My issue is with interview formats that are not conducive to my special needs and not representative of my true skills. Most tests are very neurotypically centered. Give me a take home test and I’ll blow your mind.
