I couldn't agree more with this. Most technical interviews are designed to make the interviewer feel smart. I interviewed at a company that gave a software engineer's interview for a data scientist position. Because I'd actually worked as a data scientist, my software engineering was a little crusty. I failed the puzzles, and its really frustrating that way. I've done the 'start as a contractor' thing twice and it works.
