Dev from MIT argued about every. Single. Thing. I said. I'm not talking language or cultural or political barrier, I'm talking about just a naturally confrontational person. Maybe it was just his nerves (people do weird shit when they are nervous), but damn if i didnt want to throw him out after "agreeing to disagree" for the 4th time in 10 minutes.

    "Agreeing to disagree" is a phrase used amongst friends and possibly colleagues, not in an interview setting :/ Worst tactic ever, unless you've decided you don't want the job.

    If I really happened to disagree with whatever the interviewer was saying, I think I'd just say something akin to "that's an interesting take that I hadn't considered before, I'll have to think about that" or similar. Does matter if he's talking complete bollocks, at least it shows you're a considered person who doesn't assume you're always right.

    That's why you don't automatically hire a candidate from such schools.

    I know people who do stuff like that. It's a bad trait to have.

    @rutee07 the worst part was that he wasn't even RIGHT! He would argue bullshit positions for what felt like the sake of being contrarian!

    @arcsector What a jerk.
    I guess you get a higher percentage of those from the big name schools.
