Hello! My first round interview will now be remote. Any advice on what I should extra focus on? E.g. should I try harder to build rapport, should I show my papers at the screen? Thank you!

Having run one of these recently:
1. Test your tech.

Make sure your internet connection is fast enough, your camera, mic, speakers work.

Had an interview where I spent first 10 mins helping candidate troubleshoot and then struggled to hear them the rest of the interview.

2. Be much more verbose.

I like to follow along with what candidates write and I can’t do that over video.

3. Clear out background distractions.

Find/establish a quiet place. There’s probably more leeway for this given so many are WFH/locked down.

Currently in finance ops group at a PE shop in Canada. In late stages of interview process w GS in NYC for similar role but at the Associate level. All indications point to an offer being imminent but I have concerns with 1) title (junior VP’s in the group have +1/-1 YOE than me, 2) base feels a bit light given I have 9+ YOE (job description says top end is US$160K)…Nervous for a change as current role is very comfy but nothing ever grows in comfort zones. Thoughts?

If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?
