Ask HN: What are the dont's in a tech interview
How would you respond if an interviewer from a competitive company and asks for specifics of particular service/architecture.
I made the mistake of talking too much. Not that I was letting out valuable secrets, but I helped them understand how they were looking at it completely wrong. They had made the proverbial mountain out of a mole hill. They made me a non raise offer. I did not give them reason enough to need me.
You also have to consider if answering would violate your sense of morality.
