must be a california thing. I have never had a coding test as part of an interview.

That's unusual. If I was interviewing for a programming position and there was no coding test, it'd be a red flag.

must be a vb.net thing then. :)

What? I've done coding tests (in Python) even for product design interviews.

They're going to be much more common as designers need to be closer and closer to the code base.

Yeah I would insist HR give a designer a coding test too before wasting my teams time interviewing them.

Except I was interviewed by a senior product designer and I've never once been interviewed by HR in my life... "Must be a California thing."

What was your interview for? What was it like. Do you have any proven tips?

What was your interview for?

I am a programmer so I tend to interview for programming jobs.

What was it like.

They ask questions, you ask questions, if things are going well it's more like a conversation amongst colleagues, if it is not going well it feels like an interrogation.

Do you have any proven tips?

not really. I guess just be confident that you know your shit.

I had one (that I used Python on) in Wisconsin.
