  • My interview for an internship that became my first developer job, for sure. It wasn’t a traditionally “technical” interview, meaning it wasn’t the latest trivia ever. They looked over my resume, and asked me technical questions about what I had done, decisions I made for projects, etc. The team just didn’t believe in staring at people trying to code on a whiteboard.

    Got the offer within about an hour and didn’t have to interview to sign on permanently. I have subsequently always refused interviews where salary range wasn’t disclosed up front, and if I talk to a recruiter, I have always asked for contact information for a dev on the team.

    But, that’s the advantage of having a job I don’t need to leave, and having experience. I’ve heard much worse from others.
