Heard horror stories about interviewers asking bizarre technicals mid-superday (‘price this parking garage in Zagreb’). Where are people pooling these surprise questions from actual recent interviews? More importantly - how do veterans recommend approaching them without freezing up?
its all ego trips – MDs flexing with questions they barely understand. best response i ever saw? ‘id open with comparable garage sales in the balkans’ followed by stone-cold silence. got the offer anyway. stop overpreparing.
