And the shitshow continues...
He hasn't got back to me yet. I had a "Principal Associate for Talent Acquisition" from Capital One reach out to me on LinkedIn about a 5 minute phone interview so I figured it couldn't hurt. Long story short: it ended abruptly when she asked if I using Java 1.7 or 1.8. I told her the project I was on was still using 1.6 because there was no real reason for us to move to 7 or 8. She said "well we write everything for our project in 1.8, so I'm going reach out to another more front-end oriented team for you". Spoiler: she didn't. And for the record the only new additions to Java 7 and 8 have been mostly quality of life improvements. It's about as hard as going from word 2013 to 2016. I guess I'm "only" 98% qualified to be a Java programmer at Capital One ... so hard pass right?
Not a great start, 2 more days until unemployment. I wanna document this trainwreck because I feel the software world has reached peak inefficiency in regards to job interviews but I'm not really sure how.
