Was interviewed by two guys. One of them , let's call him A - introduced himself and shook hands. Other one - B - did not bother to even look at me - which i felt was not pleasant. A looked at my resume, did not bother to read. (later i understood he struggled with the language ). A started with asking me about OOPS concepts. Seriously? I have 4+ years of exp with an oracle certification and that is what you ask ? I blabbered in an unenthusiastic voice. He asked encapsulation. I gave him the Java Language Specification description. Not convinced. He asked abstraction. Explained technically. Not convinced. He asked me how will you explain abstraction to a layman!!? Why would a layman want to learn about abstraction in the first place ? Second guy - B- senses my heat. Asks me - is string mutable or immutable ! I laughed inside. I said immutable with a shrug . He asked difference in new and literal. I blabbered. He said why is there a pool. I said memory saving. Not convinced ! At this point i started cursing myself as to why did i show up to this silly place. Sensing his stupidity/eagerness - i could not judge . I've met other geniuses before who got convinced with nonsense and offered job ,thought he is one of them so i blabbered security reasons. He asked then why would there be so many security features out there? I got pissed off. Then he goes on to write a try catch block with print statements everywhere, including finally. i answer fine. then he replaces them with a return statement. I get stoked because i know this is bad practice but couldn't remember at that stage, because i have a tendency to reject mess from my brain. I guessed it right but i have given those guys already a rough time for asking nursery questions so i knew i wasn't selected. Finally, when the interview was over, i asked them feedback. A said you need to improve !!! I asked him what did he think i said wrong. He said x ,y and z. So i asked him what are the right answers to this ? He said - "Google it" . So much pride for such geniuses . I murmured - 'cattle output' and he heard it. This was that one interview where futuristic genius people want to extract info from you.
