Ask HN: How do you get hired without a programming interview?
Few days ago, I was fortunate enough to talk to a person who switched from engineer to a manager position.
Most of the questions that were asked included how to solve project management tasks and conflict resolution strategies. No programming tests were included in the interview.
We see and also personally observe how coding tests do not effectively measure a persons analytical skills. This begs the question, for engineers, can there exist a system where companies can hire them without programming tests in interviews? One seeking a managerial position isn't necessarily asked to demonstrate and perform his skills on spot, are they?
