Senior C++ Developer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
Zoom interview with technical recruiter, February 28, 2025.
Something felt odd from the start. The recruiter had obviously decided from the beginning that I was not a good candidate, possibly based on my appearance (I have a beard).
I received an almost immediate rejection.
I have extensive experience with advanced C++, but this recruiter seemed to think otherwise. I've been writing code since 1994. I don’t think my resume ever reached the hiring manager’s desk.
I don’t think you should judge someone’s technical ability by how they look.
