scallanToday's interview at Info Share was ... interesting. I managed to break their recruitment process.
Because I did so well on the python test they gave me (95%, the highest they'd seen), they decided to change what they were recruiting for. They had been looking for a straight C++ developer. Instead they decided to consider me for a mixed test developer / C++ developer role, to spend a few months re-working their (python based) test infrastructure, and then moving to a straight C++ developer when I get it all sorted out.
This wouldn't be a tester role - if nothing else, I'm too expensive for this.
I think I'm capable of doing what they want, and it sounds like it could be an interesting position for the months I would be doing it.
