In three decades of tech I have never interviewed for a single company more than four times, and four was a new record with my current post. Three was more typical. 8 borders on asinine. Can anyone suggest reasons where that could be valid?

Unfortunately folding to an unreasonable (in terms of security) request like this emboldens them to be stupid in the future as well. The customer is usually wrong.

The RDBMs in this case accepts 9999-12-31 as a valid date. Pandas does not. This is where the issue came in, and switching to PySpark meant we needed no date manipulation to handle the data supplied by the upstream. Magic dates suck, but th
