I've had this recently as well, even with a few years of software dev experience. It was for a software dev role. I graduated with electrical however, and was met with whiteboarding random hardware questions. Circuit theory, bit fiddling questions, op-amps, even using a spectrum analyzer. I had to dig deep on the spot from my school years. I managed an offer for the software position but I was so confused. I waited a week and took an offer for a more exciting position. It was very strange.
- fatnoah 8y agoI graduated with an MSEE (originally started with CS, but changed majors late in my Junior year) and my first job was a SW job at a defense contractor. My favorite meeting was one where the HW teams and SW teams sat around blaming each other for something not working. I floored them all when I pulled out printouts from a logic analyzer and let them know that neither the hardware nor software were performing exactly to spec.
