Tech sector job interviews assess anxiety, not software skills: study

I've trained for interviewing twice at Google. I don't volunteer to give the interviews, though, because the interview I was trained to give, I would never pass.

And sadly, this is common and recognized at Google, was mentioned in interview training, and is just said to be part of the fact that the bar gets higher, or something, mumble mumble.

I find this disturbing.

Every year I've noticed the questions get harder too. A hard question in 2012 (off the top of my head, 2 pointer solution to linked list cycle detection) might be considered an easy question today.
