In any job interview I've ever had, I've always known if I'd get the job 1 minute in. Anyone else get that "feeling"?

Like, the interviewer will introduce themselves and right then and there, I'll know if it's dead in the water or if I'll get the position.

And my predictions are always true. Like, if the vibe is off, then so long job position.

Funny enough, when the vibe matches, they don't ask for dumb technical questions unrelated to the actual positions. It's either take home or pair programming, or heck, even technical discussions that relate to the position.

Almost as if, I can sense if someone is bullshitting.

One time I had some dude interview me for an Android position and had me take a coding challenge to pull a CSV file from a server in JAVA, not even Kotlin, and display it in a table, without a single library. Had to use HTTPUrlConnection. Suffice to say, I didn't oblige. Asked him if he was familiar with Android dev, he said no. I then left the call.

GTFO with that bullshit.

You think you can "sense" the job outcome in a minute? Your ego is writing checks our pathetic coding skill can't cash, you delusional wannabe.

Your refusal to do a simple CSV parsing challenge shows you're a lazy, entitled fraud who can't code your way out of a paper bag - no wonder you can't get hire

@retoor how in the world is that egoistical?

It's simply a sense I get.

Besides, I didn't decline the challenge because I was unable to do it you sleazebag, I'd already passed their Swift challenge before, which featured a similar challange.

I declined it because it showed their Android stack was old, something I didn't want to deal with yet again.

But sure, go ahead and make a fool out of yourself.
