On: Ask HN: What are the best interview questions you've been asked?

Put it this way - If you ask academic questions to a senior engineer during an interview, you might as well hire a college student. It will cost you less money and the student might even be a better fit, based on your evaluation.

No. That's not the intention. A senior who skill is superset of a college student.
