Jeez, times must be hard for you guys as the new generation shoves you aside. Maybe time to deploy those paunches and grey heads of hair in some kind of strategy or management role? Best of luck, anyway.

They can have group hugs with the abc and fb folks and pubic hair grooming tips. Not sure what the blokes will do though, probably discuss chunky knitwear patterns and the authenticity of each others plimsolls.

Gonna be a load of ex Twatter people out there soon it seems.

I don't get it. These engineers have been canned from abc and fb, so you should want to work with them?

And having to take a firm grip on the interviewers ample hipster beard to help you get up isn't going to help

No, but you'd feel a lot better for it and it's all about feeling good these days. Used to be a lot easier to feel good, before they banned cattle prods in the office.

Especially when you are holding the Client Co IPad, in the other hand, they insisted you did the technical test on, to ensure you could "code renegade and be extra agile".

Indeed. And even if you did smash the interview there is the problem of getting up from the bean bag whilst keeping your modesty and decorum intact.

If I am honest, the prospect of being interviewed by ex google/FB developers or even working with them would make me run miles away. They are all so stuck up inside their own back side, they think interviewing a developer would mean subjecting him to Tyrion style tormenting in front of a white board.

Yes. Anything other than "Wow, that's a really good email. You deserve another hazelnut skinny latté for your efforts. Shall I fetch you one?" would have that effect.

You should go back and say "Oh did they, funny.........I've turned both those companies down on more than one occasion."
