I’ve interviewed people who were great technically but struggled to talk about teamwork. In tech, how you work with others matters just as much as what you build. How do you usually explain your collaboration style?

I am a big fan pair programming. When one is doing the data entry the other can evaluate the logic. Switch roles for the next session and so on. This helps our junior devs and groups that I managed also like this approach.

That’s a great example. Pair programming shows collaboration in action, not just in words. It also highlights mentorship and shared ownership, which is exactly what many teams look for.

Hi all, asking on behalf of my SO. He’s currently in a backend engineer security role and wants to move into an infra related one. He’s in talks with his manager about moving internally in his current company but that is still in discussion. He just got an offer from another company for an infra role but they need an answer in the next week. How do you guys suggest he push for a decision from his manager about the internal move. Should he tell his manager he has another offer?

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time. I’ve did these calls with 3 recruiters and is yet to hear back from someone. Today would be the 4th recruiter that I’ve spoken to. Does this practice annoy you guys just as much as it does us?
