I am looking at Series A - D tech companies. I am currently at a tech company, after transitioning out of consulting a few years ago.

I’m on a chief of staff team now. Main things I was probed on were executive presence, stakeholder management, problem solving, prioritization and being comfortable making data based decisions.

Mix of both! Not sure if Google interviews are a bit different but I was given hypothetical questions and behavioral to test leadership, cognitive ability, “googleyness” and then role related knowledge. I focused on facing challenges, how I pivot quickly from failure, how i use influence to achieve the right outcomes, and how I use data to make decisions

Curious as well
