Any advice on how many slides a ~15min tech interview presentation should be? I know there’s no perfect number but is like maybe 8-12 slides good enough? Context is this is for higher up like we’re talking Directors+ and they’re very smart in tech with phd’s.

My favorite saying about presentations: A good presentation is like a good skirt. Long enough to cover the topic, short enough to keep it interesting.

Having said that, it’s very topic independent. If you are a terrible presenter, it’s probably better to have more data in the slides if it’s an important topic and there are a lot of critical takeaways. If you’re an engaging speaker, then I’d only have ~5 bullets to slide, that are really bullets and not paragraphs so that people are listening to you and not reading ahead and missing salient points.

3-5 tops would be my input but I’m a less is more kind of person. I use slides for participants to follow along with if they are multitasking, but I generally don’t need a single one to pitch. I’ve seen too many people crater when a projector or computer goes down and they can’t use their slides as a crutch.

Three minutes per slide = 5 slides.
