What’s your background? Just do the interview and find out.

Background is in operations transformation. That’s the dilemma - looking to best frame myself during the interview to avoid getting disqualified. I’ve been largely an individual contributor (analytics, process mapping, tech implementation etc.). Role at Google under hardware finance FWIW.
