I'm interviewing and asked the recruiter about retention rates. She seemed uncomfortable and changed the subject really fast. I'm not 100% sure, but it seems like she was dodging the question. Does this usually mean high turnover, or am I reading too much into it?

You're probably right on the money. If retention they likely would have bragged about it as a selling point

It could be that the absence of an answer means it's a touchy subject. It's also possible, however, that the recruiter may not have a good handle on that information. If you get an interview with a manager that might be something to bring up, though it should be worded deftly.

I’ve had recruiters dodge that question at places where people were burning out fast. Later Glassdoor reviews confirmed it.

5+ years of full-time job as developer and still waiting to reverse a LinkedList at work.

Since there is a heavy impetus on solving Tree, LinkedList, and Graph problems for tech interviews, it can naturally make freshers believe that these concepts will be used in day-to-day life at work. In reality, most of these DSA concepts are already implemented in some libraries our code uses and we rarely have to code such Algorithms by hand.

Round or exact numbers on banners/LPs? I was curious about this since in negotiations for example or pricing it's better to have the exact number. But if you have a case study, for example, is it better to say "Client X increased their revenue to 1,000,000 ARR" instead of "Client X increased their revenue to 987,500 ARR" ? Anyone has seen any impact on conversion rates?
