I have different experience - usually it is tech people that are toxic and trying to prove candidates are stupid because they didn’t know that one thing person asking lives by and is his bread and butter.

It is like they are never interested in what I do know and experienced but picking some thing they pride themselves on.

Like I never ran into issues with file descriptors on Linux and interview was about C# development well senior level so I guess it is fine.

Other time well I have comp sci degree so for a software dev with C# in web development it is perfectly reasonable to ask math questions I wasn’t expecting and then conclude I wasn’t prepared and wasted their time.

Well one time it was about C# development and writing code using generics that one I most likely should have practiced more often but I don’t use it as much and it would take me couple hours to brush up on it to be proficient - but was shot down as I couldn’t remember the syntax correctly.

I am happy I don’t work in those places so I am happy they did that :)

HR filters I probably haven’t seen from all the ones I never heard back from.
