don't take tech interviews seriously, they suck for everyone but big corps
your 2 decades of experience mean much more than memorizing algorithms, you know how to produce real value
don't forget that, and don't let them forget it
Back when i was a kid, i thought electronics shop were scammers; you knw, solder a wire here, hold power buttons longer than usual, and the thing works again! (This is the reason i got into fixing things ๐)
But since then, i came to a revelation, than it takes years of experience to knw which wire to touch, and wat not to touch at all; what is worth saving, and what is a gonner... saving time...
Coz apparently, as a kid i had a lot of time to spare. These days... Not so much.
PS: i still think they were scammers, coz i believe in being informed... Thats why for every electronics fixed/not fixed (even if its is a punny solder of a wire), i am completely transparent with the user, for both our sakes
Might be, might not be. A popped capacitor doesn't require a lot of skill to spot.
Not all jobs are rocket surgery.
