Paid interview FOR THE WIN.

I have been paid for an interview, a coding interview where I fixed a bug and added a feature while my pair (future colleague!) chilled .. I think he surfed and I'd ask him clarifying questions occasionally? Anyhow, I got paid like $400. Best interview ever.

That's amazing. I got a $30 gift card for one interview. It wasn't much, but TBH in the interview gauntlet I've put myself through it was nice to get even the most basic recognition that my time is money.

Hey, that’s still a win. It sounds like they respected your time and knew that you’re a rare bird.
