The perm interview landscape has definitely changed. I’ve never had to put together a project plan as part of the interview process. I’m wondering if the random layoffs in the freelancers space is rolling over! I guess it’s also a great way to stand out & present or share screen.

I have very mixed feelings about this. It feels a little bit like asking a writer for a sample based on an open brief. I also have had very different project plan structures each place I’ve worked, and they were all “the best” for that team for different reasons - making a sample one feels like being asked to make something bespoke without giving the measurements.

I'm going through a series of interviews now and was told I would be required to develop and present on a subject I chose. This is the first time this has ever happened. I actually like this requirement as part of the process since being able to develop presentations, present to leadership + c suite, and interact with clients is a requirement of the position. You can write anything on a resume or say anything in an interview, this is an opportunity to show what you can actually do.

How did it go? I finally got the job description after chasing them down for days. First red flag. Second red flag was the salary changed. I let them know that since they took so long to send the job description. I couldn’t trust them. No way would I have applied for a role that pays the salary of a coordinator. Toxic companies move toxic in the beginning.

Looking to confirm or crush my expectation as part of a business model. Are M&A like technology assessments somewhat standardized for angel investors or do you start by independently evaluating specific platform, data, code, technical architecture issues? I’m assuming there are individuals who seek technology risks for value opportunities while others avoid such risks. Is it common to ignore technology choices or are there other options I’m missing?
