Interesting interview. I applied for a Haskell job at Standard Charter in Singapore about eight years ago. I didn’t really expect to get the job because the only Haskell experience I had was my own Haskell projects and I had written a short book on Haskell. The guy interviewing me and reviewing my take home programming test had done a PhD studying aspects of Haskell. It was an interesting experience for me.
- weavie 4y agoDid you get the job?
- mark_l_watson 4y agoNo. The interviewer suggested that I get one year experience elsewhere, then reapply for the job. I started to do that, but a month into a Haskell gig, I received an offer to manage a deep learning team at Capital One, and pivoted.
- grumpyprole 4y agoYou won't need a Haskell PhD to work at a bank, even one that uses Haskell.
- eru 4y agoI worked in that team from 2012 to 2014. I don't have any degree and didn't publish any books. Perhaps they made the interviews more difficult since, or you got unlucky?
- mark_l_watson 4y agoI just don’t think I had enough Haskell experience.
