Thank you for your thoughtful response.
So it seems, there could be a lot more behavioral style questions compare to white-board coding? Does that mean less algorithm and binary tree/sorting related questions?
I've been a programmer all those years and haven't pursued much on managing other people, would that work against me ?
- gensym 14y agoYes, more behavioral, less algorithmic. At least, fewer general algorithmic questions, though maybe expect some that are specific to the employer or your experience. Regarding the managing thing - not necessarily, though most programmers with your years of experience have managed in some capacity before, you so may be asked why you have not. In my experience, though, a lot of experienced programmers looking for jobs seem to be in the opposite situation - they've been managing for a few years and now are looking to get back into programming.
- 31reasons 14y agoI was in academia for 8 years and working with scientists to build prototypes. Although work is interesting in universities, most programming jobs are dead-end career wise. I quit my job a year ago to build iPhone apps and learned quite a lot as an entrepreneur. Hopefully that should help me with the interviews.
