The Future Of Tech Interviews

Remember when getting hired meant a 30-minute chat with a manager who actually worked in your department? Now we've got seven rounds of algorithmic hazing, take-home projects that would qualify as unpaid consulting, and personality assessments to make sure you're "culture fit" (read: willing to work weekends).

The monkey experiment reference is too real—we're all just perpetuating increasingly absurd hiring rituals because "that's how Google does it" or whatever. Meanwhile, the actual skills needed for the job are barely discussed.

Ten years from now we'll probably be solving Rubik's cubes blindfolded while reciting binary trees upside down... all for an entry-level position.
