Apparently these socially incompetent code guru's that give interviews expect a perfect compiled code the first time or you are an idiot and need not apply. They expect someone to remember the syntax to "modulo"? I mean how many programs do you write that need "modulo"? I had do google it so I guess the 30 seconds I spent on the web googling "modulo java example" would have gotten me shown the door.

So if I get treated like this and I get the job it adds $20.00/hr to my asking hourly wage.

Even back in the dark ages of IT I did not take any tests. No siree no free samples. I let my resume do the talking. Of course there were very few H1B’s back then and employers could fire you at will but I (not some third party) could negotiate my services to the highest bidder. And I made sure to keep up to date and marketable to ensure that was possible.
