If I'm interviewing someone for a junior slot: 3 weaknesses (because nobody ever thinks up a 3rd and knee jerk tells you an unfiltered truth or just crumbles). Associate level? Disagreement with a co-worker and how they handled it (can tease out if they are a good teammate). Haven't interviewed anyone above those slots yet.

Is it common to negotiate software engineer salary at smaller companies? I know it’s common at FAANG, but what about for companies with around 200 engineers? I have a counter offer from my current company and on-site interviews scheduled for end of July with google and Amazon, but I’d prefer to go with the smaller local company if I can negotiate the salary (from offer letter) up another 5% or so.

Have interviews set up at FAANG co and getting good signals, for a position that was posted widely (all across US) but not remote. Haven’t broached the subject of location yet. Would you (1) early on clearly state that you’re not open to relocation but that you would be open to visiting a big office once or twice a month; (2) not say anything now and wait to get an offer and ask for an exemption; or (3) something else?
