If you are going to do a technical interview just to see how an engineer/dev/etc thinks, don't use real code, just use pseudo code.

Do you re-call what task was given? It's a bit strange to me that they'd use real code for an one hour test. Without familiarity it's really tricky to make the interviewer happy

I would say that this is both the correct and incorrect way of doing things. The determining factor is going to be the level of seniority for the position being interviewed for. This might seem counterintuitive, but the more senior the dev the less likely they will remember absolutely everything chapter and verse about the technology being used for reasons that every senior dev knows. However, someone trying to b.s. their way into a position is going to come across as a little sharper on the terminology and some other points. Figuring out which is which requires a conversation to take place.

I am getting a little impatient with a recruiter who feels like she has been ghosting me. I need to make another decision with a company by tomorrow but have not heard back from this other company since I’ve interviewed last Monday. I updated her on my timeline and she hasn’t emailed me back. I have her number from when she initially called me. Would it be bad to just give her a call?

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?

The company hasn’t had any new sales either. Start up CEO’s… be realistic or seek enough funding to operate.
