Don't expect a change in IT

I've been in the IT sector, as a developer mainly, for about 10 years, and although new technologies arise every day, sadly some things aren't changing/improving such as job interviews.

From my latest experience, I did an interview with a company and they LOVED me, they became so desperate to get me. A few days later I did another interview with another company, and they gave me such a horrible feedback which equals to "is this person a developer even?".

How come some developers (interviewers) see that you are good and others think that you are bad, even when they ask almost exactly the same questions?

Maybe we finally need a STANDARD to qualify and rate developers skills. I wrote about this about 5 years ago, and now I am geting interviewed again, and I find this exact same problem still exists, exactly how it was 5 years ago.

I'm thankful that I have much more confidence now than before, but still, even if you have the confidence of the whole world, couple of rejections (and negative feedback) will hit your confidence (and psyche) hard.

We need to have this discussion more often so this problem gets fixed, especially to the newcomers who often complain about this annoying problem.

I do believe there are qualified people who can come up with SCIENTIFIC way to test the skills of a developer and through it determine if that person is junior/mid/senior, and also determine how much of the desired Tech the developer knows and so on. We need these people to gather up and figure it out.

Tell me, my friends, what STANDARDS do you want to see in IT, especially when it comes to job interviews? Maybe we can start this here together.
