Congrats! Just curious, as someone with so much experience, do you still have to do coding challenges when interviewing for positions?


Yes. Read up on data structures and their big-O costs.

Most of the "interviews" are conducted by very-recent college graduates who know the algorithms and their big-O.

The fact that I taught Data Structures didn't seem to matter as none of them actually read my resume (despite having a copy they brought with them).

It is more of a "hazing ritual" than a job interview.
