Do physicians have to perform surgery to demonstrate their knowledge when they change hospitals?
Do executives have to demonstrate their knowledge of acquisitions or something similar?
Also let’s not act like this only applies to FAANG. Every dev job from internships and 50k entry level positions and up require the same testing. How many 70k/year jobs require testing every time you change positions outside of tech? Very few. Law, some medical fields, and a few other highly skilled fields do require licensing, but you only do that once per state at most.
Tech is the only field I’ve ever seen where your experience doesn’t matter and you have to prove your skills with every interview. In other industries, it’s mostly about personality.
