Ask HN: What if a recruited senior SWE refuses to do any tech assessment?
Let’s say a recruiter contacts you on LinkedIn and you’re interested in the role and it genuinely looks like a good fit for you. You say you’ll come in for an interview, but you won’t at any point answer any technical questions beyond discussions of what you’ve worked on (ie no whiteboarding, no system design questions, no live coding, etc). You say your resume speaks for itself regarding your technical abilities. Do you think companies would pass on you for that? Can someone here please try it?
