Position: Tech Writer Im a double major in CS and English so tech writing is exactly what I wanted to do. I studied for 3 months on leetcode literally nonstop grinding. I was told I could pick whatever language I wanted to code in. My interviewer said he only wanted to read javascript A LANGUAGE IM NOT THAT FAMILIAR WITH. So I try and keep it cool and I get myself familiar with the code he wants me to debug. This guy is a D1 YAPPER. Will not let me talk through my process, nothing. He keeps on mansplaing a linked list… like sir I KNOW. And I tell him im familiar and he tells me he doesn’t believe I am(?). I tell him I know what it is and that im a JR whose ahead in the CS major so I do know what it is. He then says okay and continues to explain what a tail and head is and so I sit and listen because maybe hes just trying to get me prepared. Finally 25 mins into a 35 minute interview he tells me to begin debugging so I do. He tells me after I deleted a node from the LL i need to adjust the length. Im confused because the code does it already. So i mentioned it but he tells me not to talk back and just do it. So i do it. He tells me to delete it and that I need to trust myself more… Anyways at the end he asks me what I needed to improve so I said learn JS and trust my gut… i blew the other interviews out of the water they were mainly tech writing questions and those interviewers were very kind. I just felt like I was extremely mistreated during that tech interview. I just got my anticipated rejection today where they said it was bc of my tech interview. Im extremely heartbroken but I know there was nothing I could’ve done or had done to make that interview go smoothly.
