It wasn't the recruiter, it was the HM that made the decision. Dodged that bullet. The recruiter was great, we actually hung out some time after. He even bought me one of the devices I would have been working on and gave it to me after the interview, possibly as an attempt to butter me up, because he was excited about landing me.
that's fair, mine was a recruiter so I just assumed. Always frustrating that our careers hang in the balance of people who don't understand what we do
My current employer is run by highly technical people, and I know for a fact that the CTO is smarter than I am. It's refreshing.
