Please don’t bring your parents to work with you

American HNers, is this really a thing in the US?

As a so-called "millenial" in the UK, I just can't imagine myself, or any of my peers, actually bringing parents into job interviews.

Surely there's something wrong if, after 4 years of college, people are so unprepared to stand on their own two feet.

I have never heard of it either, nor could I imagine anyone I know doing it. I have heard of people doing it with their first rental, never a job though.

Yeah but first rental its completely different. You are the client. You are paying for something, a second opinion might come handy or maybe your dad is there to help paint the walls afterwards. A job interview its about you, you and you. Who you are and what you can do. I can't believe this is a thing :)
