I am starting to look for a job. It is going to be my first programming job. What kind of questions can I expect to get for a junior developer position? Anyone that has already been through an interview for a position like this? Thanks /prog/riders.

The usually ask about algorithms and data-structures. Your interviewers probably won't know LISP, so it is advisable to know another programming language. >>4

Be warned that a lot of modern enterprise companies will not assess how good you are at actually coding and problem-solving etc, but how well you understand industry best practices. Basically a lot of them suck on the great big OO cock, and if you're not sucking it to, they won't like you.

Perhaps, but there are infinitely more jobs writing .NET stuff than Haskell stuff.

Thats 'cuz in the Real World (i.e.: not university), no one uses Haskell, period.
Counter that question with:
What's your budget for the move and how much time do I have?

The only question you'll ever be asked if you interview at Microsoft is:
Yes, I am PhD. So? I dont see any problem. I embraced my research long ago and I am happy alone with my thesis (It's being adapted into a text book). I have a fucking lot of friends in and outside of research and I am pretty active in free software.
But thanks anyway asshole. Go and _________ while I calculate the proof theoretical ordinal of this logical framework.

Well, I'm a M.Sc. So? I don't see any problem. I embraced my descent to mediocrity long ago and I am happy alone with my dead end job (At least I didn't get fired). I have a fucking lot of mortgage and outside of my job I am pretty active in engaging in vaginal intercourse with my gorgeous girlfriend your're kind of nerds are only dreaming of.
