Dear fishes, After working in Autosar(CAN/FR/OS) configuration for 4 years, I wanted to switch domain to device drivers. So I bought a STM board. Joined some udemy courses. Learnt SPI/I2C/NVIC/exception handling and FREERTOS/OS. Now I want to apply to companies like Nvidia Texas Instruments Qualcomm NXP Without any prior experience I am a bit nervous as people say the interviews would be very difficult in these.
Please help with embedded and prog ques for these interviews.
TIA. Please reply.
I recently interviewed for L7 EM at Google and had 4 great interviews and one not so great system design. I submitted external referrals all of which gave great feedback. The recruiter said the next step is team match/interviews and then the HC. Anyone in a similar situation? What was the result? Google

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?

Wanted to highlight Prudential Financial’s hiring practices. They rescinded my offer once I attempted to negotiate the salary. The official reason given was that I didn’t “sound excited enough”.
They then admittedly gave the offer to someone who was less qualified. There were other red flags throughout the job offer process that the HR team should overall be ashamed of.

A few shots of tequila. Kidding of course. Before the interview do a strenuous workout. It'll boost endorphins which are a natural stress reliever and mood enhancer.

I had a similar issue and managed to curb the anxiety by talking to strangers in discord voice channels. Perhaps he could try doing the same?

It depends on the person but possibly having some friends interview them and try to ask as many questions as possible. It would give them the chance to practice. Also simply using breathing techniques and taking 15-30 seconds to organize your thoughts before answering can help. I try to let people know if I see they are nervous that they can take a minute. I can appreciate someone who takes a little more time to answer thoughtfully vs jumping right into it and being all over the place.

I always tell people to think of it as a conversation rather than an interview. We’re just gonna go chat with someone who works at a company and learn about what they do and tell them about what you do. Almost like a first date mentality…
