This is actually what sucks about interviewing. My work is mostly working with managers/executives to deliver them a solution, I provide tremendous value to the business. I am full stack dev and can write a complete solution with tests, CI/CD pipelines and setup infrastructure.
I once interviewed and was asked what is the difference between thread and a task. I provided a 'dumb' correct answer because I did not remember the text book definition, as I have been out of school for several years. The interviewer ignored everything I've said and told me "Actually, it's <insert textbook defintion>".
It almost seems that computer science teaches you too much of the theory and not enough of "get shit done".
I really enjoyed computer science and graduated with honors, but writing business code is kind of meh and boring. I know people who dropped out of CS due to having a hard time with algorithms and more advanced courses. I feel like they should have stayed and would do fine doing boring work. However, nobody tells you this, there seems to be a lot of gatekeeping in tech.
