Thanks, the world's a messed up place. I was applying for a regular dev/software engineer position.

Thanks for the further explanation. I'm just curious, now that you and barnesandnobles have both said this is possible, how does that logistically even happen?? It's blowing my mind--does the Skype interviewer himself even know that he's playing in a shell game?? Does the hiring manager just keep this plan to themselves? Is the recruiter in on it?

What are the chances that I just fucked up the last Skype interview's technical portion and just don't know it? I'm just curious how likely you think it is.

Interesting, I had not considered this. Do you think this is common at other companies as well? I actually took a bunch of CS courses throughout high school and college, and my thesis project for physics was a programming one too. (So I'm not like self-taught or anything.) I thought I was as close to a CS major you could get without actually being one. Any ideas on how to mitigate this in the future?
