It’s been a long long time since I was interviewed for a job, but I have conducted a lot of interviews since then and any signal that the candidate has engaged with the question and has interesting thoughts about it is a huge plus.
FWIW I would never ask these kinds of gotcha questions. I just give simple programming problems and talk through solutions with the candidates, and then throw in complications to the questions to make them more interesting and test more areas of the candidates knowledge and problem solving abilities. Yknow, like what happens on the job every day.
- ozim 2y agoGood for you, as you look for someone to work with, not someone to cut down their offer. I am basically doing the same as I also interview people - but I also check the market from time to time as I am not company owner. But I basically don't care about the offer if company pays guy much or not it is not my money and I only win if I get a smart, nice person who knows his job to work with.
