This is, unfortunately, painting an overly rosy view of the interviewer.
A lot of the time your interviewer is just going to be some senior person with an interview guide. They'll be asking you to design Netflix, without any experience with video or streaming themselves.
Rather than "trying crazy stuff", I've found that an important step is asking a few questions early in the interview to see if they understand relevant concepts. You can't take it for granted.
- ldjkfkdsjnv 4y agoYeah they want a canned answer, like they want some standard algorithm for leetcode. You need to be as standard as possible so they can check their boxes
- paxys 4y agoInterviewing is a two way street. You can judge the company as much as they judge you. If you find yourself in front of such an interviewer then move on somewhere else.
- nitwit005 4y agoThat's entirely valid, but you might have to do a lot of interviewing if you expect every interviewer to be excellent.
