>they tried to test Staff-level skills within technical interviews by expecting folks to call out the interviewers on the vague requirements and push for clarity. Needless to say, I lack the guts to successfully do that. I think LC style questions which are frustrating during an interview process are best addressed by explaining to the interviewer why you think it's not applicable to you providing value were you to take the role and then proceeding to solve it as best you can calmly. Shows both willingness to participate in the process and staff-level critical thinking skills.
