Interviewing is career speed dating

Job interviews should be conversations, not interrogations.

"Where do you see yourself in five years?"

This is still a common job interview question.

But do you hate it as much as I do and would love to stand up and simply leave immediately?

Don't.

Here is how you can turn this question into a huge win.

Did you know that calling yourself something like "Junior JavaScript Developer" on your CV and socials is one of the worst things you can do for your career?

It immediately strips away a lot of your credibility and can often even close some doors.

"Why should we hire you?"

This is another of those questions everyone interviewing hates.

It spread from traditional jobs into the tech world, and even software developers have to deal with it.

But you can turn this into a huge win. Let's see how.

"Why do you want to work here?"

"Well, I am a web developer, and you are looking for one. Additionally, I need the money."

Some interview questions are stupid. But giving answers like the one above doesn't help.

Let's see how to tackle this one effectively.

"What's your greatest weakness?"

Have you ever been asked this question in an interview and were like, "Yea, uhm, well...I sometimes want to achieve too much?"

This question is tricky, but here is how you can crush it!

I regularly get asked which language or framework someone should learn.

Here is my advice for aspiring software developers, asking themselves the same question, unsure what to learn to enter the industry, as someone who works as a tech lead in the industry.

The chances of any candidate matching 100% of the requirements of a job ad for a software engineer are low.

Give it a shot and apply if you tick at least 40 - 50% of the boxes.

That company might still consider you for a different role.

The interview process is ultra-competitive.

But with proper preparation, it is possible to stand out.

Interviewing for technical positions is a broken process.

I believe this is going to change soon.

Getting a job in the software industry well look very different within the next 10 years.

People who are fluent on more than one cloud provider - how has this skillset affected your career?

Does it mostly just expand your job opportunities (ie, you can get hired by a GCP shop or an AWS shop), or do you find yourself working with multiple clouds at your current job?

Working for a bad manager can torch your professional confidence and make you feel like you're incapable of succeeding at your job.

Here's a checklist to help you tell the difference between legitimate criticism you should act upon and illegitimate criticism you should ignore.

Companies optimize for people who can pass the coding interview instead of optimizing for people who can do the job.

"Wow you've had a lot of jobs"

Yes, I can get a 25% raise for jumping or stick around for the possibility of a cost of living bonus, which is usually less than 5%.

We need to reinvent interviewing in tech. Companies are optimizing for the people who can game the interview but not the people who are good at the job.....

Software eng interviews today: “Invert this binary tree” (because I said so)

What software eng interviews should be:“The customer wants you to implement feature X. How would you make it work with the legacy codebase? Whats your time estimate? What security issues could arise?”

Ayer me pegué una juerga. Una de las de verdad, de decir "te quiero tío" a los colegas y volver a casa hecho unos zorros. Pero, como casi todo lo que comento, lo importante no es qué hice, sino por qué. Hoy: cómo ha cambiado el covid nuestra relación con el trabajo. Dentro hilo.

Everyone is hiring. Everyone is understaffed. Everyone is sticking to the same ineffective and inequitable interview processes. Everyone remains understaffed.

This is not just Nigeria, but worldwide.

If you work in IT: youre usually seen cost center, typically in a “traditional” company.

If you work in tech, youre typically viewed as a profit generator, and core to the company. Both autonomy, motivation and pay tend to be higher. https://t.co/z579RoAS3I

Unpopular opinion: I dont think being a 10x engineer is a persona. 10xness is specific to projects and what orgs allow you to do. Its a combination of having authority and skills to execute. It depends on the momentary situation and its not always repeatable. https://t.co/xSMY50OouT

Why give your devs time to refactor when you can rewrite the app every three years because no one on the new hires replacing your quitting devs is able to maintain it?

A place I worked long term saw a few “rockstar” devs who complicated toolchains, trusted unestablished tech, said Yes lots/shipped early, but left before really having to deal with tech debt theyd introduced. Theyre prolly still hopping every 18mnths thinking theyre awesome.

I was the one who had to deal with the fallout of things like these and let's day I hate Ninja/Rockstar devs like hell. Why do things by best practice when you can save 3kb by introducing three new tools in the deployment.... /s

In cutthroat cultures, people kiss up and kick down. They protect themselves by currying favor with people in power and exploiting those without it.

In supportive cultures, people speak up and support down. They protect people without power by raising problems to those with it.

Politeness is not the same as kindness.

Being polite is saying what makes people feel good today. Being kind is doing what helps people get better tomorrow.

In polite cultures, people withhold disagreement and criticism. In kind cultures, people speak their minds respectfully.

The best software engineer I've ever worked with wasn't the best coder on the team.

But they were exceptional at:
🔹 Unambiguous communication
🔹 Simplifying; reducing complexity
🔹 Making the right tradeoffs
🔹 Building consensus
