Re: tech interviewing
“Zoox asks intense math questions in addition to standard code interviews. For example, they asked how to measure the distance from the Earth to the Moon using tools like a protractor and ruler.
It requires intensive math skills, such as trigonometry. I would say in most software engineering interviews, candidates don't get asked about these kinds of math questions at all.”
