Show results, don’t just talk about what you can do. I interview lots of incredibly talented tech people and hire the ones who can help me understand impacts and implications. It’s not about the data or even the analytics; it’s about how to tell the story.

like

As example, match up impacts with projects/ clients I’ve worked on to paint a picture of the value myself and my work have brought by solving a problem or streamlining process. And tie to the the responsibilities and requirements for the role?

This is a broad ask, so I’ll give a broad answer: articulate what value your work delivered to date and ask about work streams that exist today in their org. If you have an example of solving that type of problem, then bring it up or theorize how you would solve it using the tools they have.

It’s something I like to do towards the end of interviews to find out what kind of work I would be doing. Three things are determined, 1) is the work engaging, 2) what level of understanding does the interviewer have of the problems being solved today, 3) gives me an opportunity to show how I would make an impact from day one. It has historically worked well for me in interviews.

Hi Folks - Does anyone have insights on the interview structure for consultant level (summer internship) in London?

Do most tech/SaaS companies make prospective employees sign NDAs? I'm interviewing for the first time in awhile and am entering into a final round with a company who wants me to sign an NDA prior to the interview. I'm hesitant to do so - especially since I am not sure if I even want to work for this company yet. Is this standard procedure?

Hi Fishes,
I recently got shortlisted for a Product Manager position at Tracxn. There’s also an IPO coming up which is the reason I had applied.
But I have read some horrifying reviews about the company on Glassdoor, indeed and other forums.

I’m wondering whether it’s worth going through the interview process and I’d also like to hear opinions from anyone who has worked with the company or is aware of the company culture.

Thanks.

Hello Fishes,
I gave an L1 tech interview at Honeywell for SE2 .NET full stack role.
How long will it take for me to hear back from the HR ?
What could be further rounds ?
If all goes well how much can I ask for ?

We interviewed a great candidate, extended a verbal offer and she accepted. We sent the written offer a few days ago but she hasn’t opened it or accepted (it’s expiring tomorrow). Have you ever had to follow up? How did you handle it? My company is small with no HR, so I have to handle the hiring myself.

Does Google do soft rejections? I did not get a role but said overall feedback was positive and she would look for other roles..others have reported same.
