Interesting interview. I applied for a Haskell job at Standard Charter in Singapore about eight years ago. I didn’t really expect to get the job because the only Haskell experience I had was my own Haskell projects and I had written a short book on Haskell. The guy interviewing me and reviewing my take home programming test had done a PhD studying aspects of Haskell. It was an interesting experience for me.
No. The interviewer suggested that I get one year experience elsewhere, then reapply for the job. I started to do that, but a month into a Haskell gig, I received an offer to manage a deep learning team at Capital One, and pivoted.
