I have an interview with a couple senior executives tomorrow. I feel like I don't have a lot to offer, but am definitely interested in the role! Is there anything I can say that will make them feel like I'm the right fit for this position?

Research and relate. I can’t tell you how often I’ve interviewed candidates, but only get impressed by someone who came to the interview well researched on the company, relating to the hiring managers/interviewees and their backgrounds, and asked informed questions. That, doesn’t require a deep resume — but shows solid commitment and a passion towards getting that job.

This is very helpful. thank you!

Find ways to demonstrate your passion for the industry and sector you work in. Even if it’s something you haven’t worked on yourself or have experience in. Being a student of the industry will make an impact. It’s also a good idea to state you’re interested in the company and position — you don’t have to play it cool; enthusiasm goes along way. You got this!

Any best practices on what has worked to streamline recruiting processes for devs?

2nd stage of our interview process is a technical challenge and a conceptual discussion (system design)

Do any of you have experience with structuring a technical challenge to where it's the same for each candidate? I've had it happen where our devs asked questions to each candidate based on their lived experience vs. a standard set of questions that revolve around what needs to be performed in a dev role.

Is it crazy to leave my job at EY to take a lower paying position in industry? I'm a recently promoted tax manager making about 140k. I've been considering going to industry for a while, gotten a couple offers, but they're all pretty low (<$120k). Honestly, the $20k difference isn't that much, but I've also been considering taking job that pay maybe $90k and doing work on the side (my own "firm"). But it also feels strange to accept such a lower salary. Thoughts?
