Not Using AI Can Now Fail Your Interview
4 things companies are testing
You have been preparing for your interview for over a week. And finally, that day arrives. The interview day.
The past week was all about grinding LeetCode (solving data structures and algorithms problems). You expect to solve a couple of coding problems in Python.
But that is where we have our first twist.
As the interview starts, the interviewer gives you a very different kind of problem. It’s not a problem where you write code.
Interestingly, the interviewer says, “Feel free to use AI over here.”
Well, this isn’t a trick question. This is how interviews are actually shifting. It is happening right now.
Who is doing this? Why would a company allow its candidate to use AI in an interview? Isn’t that cheating? What exactly are they testing?
I’ll be answering all these questions in the next 5 minutes.
This is day 8 of 60 articles in 60 days.
Who Is Doing This?
It’s not a single company that’s allowing the use of AI in interviews. There are multiple companies doing this. And that involves some big names too.
