I have done 300+ interviews in a 13 year career in FAANG companies and anytime I get a sense a candidate knows more than me, I get all excited and will work extra hard in the debriefs to get the person hired. If the spot is for my own team, even better ans will nudge my manager to hire the candidate. The prospects of learning from the person on the job is too enticing.
- GeorgeTirebiter 3y agoGood for you! Andrew Carnegie said something like "I don't know how to make steel, but I do know how to HIRE the men who do!" He wasn't threatened by competence. However, my experience with FAANg companies is: the interviewers cannot handle an interviewee who knows more, has more experience, and who comes up with better solutions to their stock 'whiteboard' problems. Such a person should not squander his/her talents in a FAANG. That's why there are start-ups.
