I got a call from the Google recruiter about my L7 em interview Google She said I did overwhelmingly good on all interviews except one had mixed feedback on a system design. No surprise because it was not a good interview. The recruiter said i had a choice to go to hiring committee, give referrals they could call about my system design or take another system design interview. I’m not confident about the system design because of the bad experience I had with the previous interviewer. What should I do?
Amazon L7 equivalent in PWC?
Hi all, recently in touch by Spotify recruiter for a Sec Engineer position for remote EU and was told that range was 60-80 out of base salary and equity. Had 2 years of security experience out of my 4 years. Was also told that there is no bonus scheme or no sign in bonus 😕 Not sure how I feel about this tbh.
What do you think?

It’s a fine framework but I think that it can make responses too formulaic. You need to be able to speak and touch on some of those points but also sound like a human.
STAR is meant to give a quick and simplistic framework to help structure your thoughts. If your response sounds over-rehearsed, you're taking the method too literally (and probably practicing in front of a mirror repeatedly). You can have a genuine conversation and still use STAR, it just reminds you to ensure you've captured all salient points of explanation for each response.
