This is a bit meta, but it bothers me sometimes how much virtual ink is spilled on how to pass algorithmic interviews. Especially considering how little of your career will actually depend on the knowledge being presented.
I'm slowly learning that despite how much more money I've earned by skipping between companies, skipping is not a path to knowledge. It provides better earning opportunities (to a point), it provides new challenges on a regular basis, but I've lost the ability to go deep into a topic. The depth that can't be achieved in two or three years.
I guess I'd really like to see a bit more ink spilled on "congratulations, you got a job; now what?" What interpersonal skills are most important? What are good resources for continued learning? What do C level people actually do? How can I help the company succeed? What career opportunities are possible for me without having to skip jobs? What can I learn from this company before I go to create my own?
That would be much more valuable, IMO, than a primer on how to pass an interview process.
