I run interviews, and a lot of applicants can't write code. So they're probably going after low-hanging fruit like that.
Makes sense, I feel bad for the guys that were happy for a chance and got screwed over. (By the hackers, not you, haha)
Some tips for people, real companies won't:
Be careful out there!
I've gotten offered a job on the first interview and I worked there for a while. Then again, that was not in my field of IT and was a part-time job with a well-known company, alongside studies. So while it can be a red flag, it's not always. Depends on the situation. Just stay vigilant.
Yup. Sometimes it'll work out, just look for the big red flags.
A good job won't expect you to do anything other than show up to interviews and orientation.
