I bombed a technical take home case that I took home and still got the job. Albeit a different role, but was with the same team. They pretty much created another role for me!

Me too! Best of luck

I bombed the first one I took, then applied a couple months later and had the same case study… now I work here, so not the end of the world

Currently scheduling “on sites” for a S&O role in CA. My referrer said they can hire as L5 or L6. Would like to land in the L6 bucket as I’ve heard 5 --> 6 is one of the more challenging promotions.

I’m looking for info on what the real difference is in responsibilities (manager vs IC, cross functional vs focused, etc) so I can focus on checking the L6 boxes during my interviews.

I’m also curious about whether this is something that I should just discuss with my recruiter directly?
