I’ve applied for $60k online chat support jobs and was asked how to check the if you could make a connection to a remote server (I said use ssh and was told the correct answer was telnet), and asked by an executive how much I experience I had as a freelance developer. I explained the crud app I was working on and where it could go and the reasoning why I used certain tools and that apparently wasn’t enough.
Great you had such easy questions for your 6 figure interview though.
- throwbigdata 4y agoEveryone knows it’s nc:)
- 7speter 4y agoThis was a big nosql company and when I brought up that said database could plausibly be used for data warehousing, the dude interviewing me looked at me like I had 3 eyes.
- throwbigdata 4y agoI meant netcat; but I know what you are talking about. Tried and true isn’t mongo level webscale!
- 7speter 4y agoI figured nc was some terminal utility, and I hope your intent is to point out that there are numerous “right” answers (in which case, thanks) Was actually called by one of their recruiters, I think she found my linked in because I call myself a “linux enthusiast” on there, and sometimes I wonder if I should take that down but I haven’t yet. I guess I also messed up by telling executive dude that I was more of an relational db guy than nosql guy. Should’ve said something about mongo level webscale :)
