I had an unfortunate occasion to be selected by a recruiter for a software engineer job in Camarillo. Being a local and told by the recruiter that the executives are very impressed with my experience and skills and the salary is 150 thousand dollars per year and the proximity to my location, I agreed to meet them in person. But it turned into such disappointing experience that I wished other professionals to be better prepared at interviews and learn from my experience. It was not what I had expected, a relaxed exchange of experience and the interview to be my open door to the professional opportunities. Expect the interview to be like a fight about who is more intelligent, being aware the CEO, a Dutch emigrant, is an awarded computer scientist full of himself which revealed me that the job, I applied for, was to replace someone who was very skilled but got a great offer at MIT which he could not refuse and left them.
