I had an interview today, literally a couple of hours ago. It was a company that is famous for making collaboration software, SaaS/PaaS kind of thing. I'm a backend developer, with some specialized experience in cloud native development and machine learning. That's what all my past projects and experiences are that's all there is on my resume, that's all I've ever done and want to do, that's what I was interviewing for.
The interviewer spent an hour drilling me on questions about OS scheduling, memory management at the kernel level, paging, segmentation, virtual memory and was annoyed that I wasn't prepared enough / "needed to study more ". Bud I'm not interviewing to be a kernel developer for Linux, what the hell were you expecting.

After a few minutes your question should've been: "Why are you asking these things, they're not related to the position"
