So the first value? How trivial

Can I ask you guys something, its been fucking over a month and im still in the interview process, ive been waiting 2 weeks for them to send over a technical test after we last met, is this standard procedure? how long does it take for them to just say fucking yes or no?

user, I...

they gave the job to someone else and forgot about you

this happened in the first round too... it just took them so damn long to do anything, it took over 2 weeks to get an interview, maybe its just a shit company?

big companies move really slow.

Colleges can move 6 months or more for a single position for example.

Why would you get a programming job if you can't program.

int getHead(intlist list)
{
return list.head();
}


wow so hard

I had a company call me after three months asking if I was still interested.

I'm still wondering why HR gives programming jobs to people who can't program!

yeah im gonna need to see the actual layout in ram for that needful linked list sir

My record is 15 months. I had to go back through my search list to see if I had actually tried to get hired there.

It's a trick question, the list could be circular. Or it could be singly-linked, which doesn't allow traversing backwards. In any case, you save the head in a variable, nothing to compute. And linked lists are a data structure, they have nothing to do with programming other than applications.

in wat lanng

I can't into computer science or programming at all (yet), but I have to ask if all these complaints are justified or not. In my field they ask some technical questions, but they are generally testing you on basic knowledge and if you know your shit you can get through questions without too much difficulty.
Is it not the same with these white board tests?

LITERALLY 2 minutes
>If input last digit ends with 1,3,5,7,9 print valid
>Else print invalid
Or you can do 0,2,4,6,8 print invalid

fuck off libturd, your shitty method only works for strings and not numbers

Most job interviews is just there to make people think it is a huge company.
In reality, they hired the nephew of the CEO before the process even started and they are using these whiteboard questions to make him understand basic problems so they don't have to educate him.
They don't actually need to hire people. If a job position as a programmer is even remotely important, you wouldn't spend so much time doing it, you would just hire as many people as you need.

Two hours?
To figure out how to and two numbers?

>He can't figure out how to look at the final character of an imput with any language
Not gonna make it

it works for numbers if you use integer division to get the last digit
it's stupid to do so instead of modulo 2, though

Do people get programming jobs not knowing how to check if a number is even with modulo or bitwise and?

the last HR interview I had literally ended up with my interviewer ranting about how his old job didn't pay well enough
having to constantly offer kids half your age twice your salary must get to you really fast

It's a mixed kind of feel... All this because dad died and uncle gifted me a job

This is great... meanwhile none of my uncles would give me a job even if my parents died.

So another 10 years of scraping by for my Hikki ass.

I did exactly this desu, boss said "If you can use Google, you can do this job". He was right. Traded off wage for experience, worth it instead of crippling myself with student loans.

Sweet talking HR is easy. I've definitely had positions I was definitely not qualified for just because HR thought I was a "nice guy and a real team player".

Company is a big electricity/air traffic etc management company and some friends that worked there said they actually pull this shit.
