Sometimes it’s hard to understand culture because it could apply at the org or team level as opposed to whatever the company culture is. I’m more interested in the person I’ll report to and how they lead vs anything else culture wise

A good idea is to make a list of your main values for your job/career and then make sure that the job and company align to at least your top 5 if not 10. Be absolutely clear on your non-negotiables.

For example, If you hate being micro-managed, find a way to ask your new manager about their management or communication style and expectations. Ask them how they help their team to develop and grow or course correct if needed. Or ask them how they've contributed to a previous direct report's success.

If flexibility is important, understand the company's stance on that. And understand what kind of performance evaluation process they have in place and how any bonus or merit increase is determined so that it's not arbitrary.

Hi everyone. I’m a front end software engineer. I’m interviewing next week for a solutions engineer at a company I really like, which I mistakenly applied for as I saw they needed ReactJS, JavaScript, HTML/CSS. Upon reading the job description, it’s clear I will be doing a lot of sales and client consulting over actually coding. I know they have a FE SWE role open. How would you approach asking the recruiter if there are any SWE openings I could be considered for instead ?

Hi Fishes, Have a query. My spouse is working in the electrical and electronics field for the last 15years, in various GCC countries.

What is your opinion if he takes a DevOps course and do a career change ? What will be the % of getting interviews ? Even if he gets selected, how much will he get?
Please reply.

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
