    You’d fail before the whiteboard interview. Its easy to detect people with little experience

    I never ask how much experience someone has in an interview. I throw a hard problem at them and watch them work

      Nope. The non-technical phone interview can be bullshitted, the technical phone interview can be passed with enough skill, and by the time they get to you then you aren’t even checking for experience.

      There are loads of people that get through this process by lying about their years of experience. You have confirmation bias.

      The only thing experience is good for is getting better at lying on resumes and lying in interviews. It’s a screening process to filter out people who don’t know how the sausage is made.
