Souzana··on Ask HN: What do I do? I love writing software but hate these interviews?
You don't get it. :)

Algorithmic interviews like that test your capacity for bullshit. They're like "I know I'm testing you on irrelevant bullshit, but I want to see you succumb to my unreasonable demands to have studied trie-based search, because that means you are more likely to swallow any other bullshit I'll throw at you on the job".

Souzana··on Ask HN: What do I do? I love writing software but hate these interviews?
I've had the same thing happened to me, were the interviewer was asking arbitrary and sometimes very general questions without much care to discuss anything, which looked quite strange to me. He didn't want to be there, that was my impression.

I believe the reason is that he/they don't really want to hire, they just have to do the interview for some reason. It's this kind of company were the job ad stays up for like 6 months straight, it becomes obvious at some point that they don't want to hire anyone.

Souzana··on Ask HN: Anyone lost a lot of money with NFTs/Cryptos? What's your story?
yes i was gambling and lost around 20k to collapsed shitcoins
Souzana··on Ask HN: How's your job search going in this current economy?
I mean it's not that bad, but companies can be very picky.

There is also the issue of job posts that are not real, in the sense that the company isn't actually hiring. Unless maybe a unicorn drops on them I guess.

Souzana··on Ask HN: Getting rejected by HR for cultural reasons?
Yes, of course I thought it's a good idea to post this, this is irrelevant. Anyway, after my experience with them I don't respect any of those people, no matter the gender. It's not really a gender issue here. I dislike them all equally xD

I'm sure she would like me more if i was a female.

But apart from that, it wasn't just about her i think, others were also rude in a more subtle way. I really wouldn't like to work with them anyway.

Souzana··on Ask HN: Getting rejected by HR for cultural reasons?
he probably wanted to skip the bullshit
Souzana··on Ask HN: Getting rejected by HR for cultural reasons?
I think I said that because I noticed that she was kind of rude in a woman way. Not easy to explain this one here though.

I honestly think that if I was a female she would like me more for example.

Souzana··on Ask HN: Getting rejected by HR for cultural reasons?
yep, exactly

They tried to connect with you on a spiritual level and your aura didn't match theirs friend.
Souzana··on Ask HN: Getting rejected by HR for cultural reasons?
True they don't owe me anything, I asked for one anyway cause why not.
